  • The Apple Watch. It’s expensive, it’s luxurious, it’s… very polarizing. Is it the right wearable device for you?? This isn’t really a review or unboxing.. so I’m just calling it “not a rant”..

  • @brock4772
    @brock4772 8 років тому +557

    I'm seeing all these comments like "That sexual content is unacceptable" or "Reduce your references to sex" which I think is ridiculous. Let the guy have a little fun and have a sense of humor. Can you imagine if he just sat there in a quiet voice and was like "the Apple Watch is an exquisite piece of technology and deserves a proper analysis and right now, we will get into this." He's trying to be funny. I get that it would be inappropriate for a kid to see it but what kind of ten year old will be willing to sit there and watch a computer build or listen to a rant about a product. Not many and not many kids would get "being on the bottom." I think if you don't like it, you should stop watching. Now I'm gonna get the popcorn and watch the hating commence.

    • @ShinyRayquazza
      @ShinyRayquazza 8 років тому +46

      +Brock Williams Yeah honestly, if they're not mature enough to deal with sex references, then neither are they mature enough for a product review of an Apple Watch to be of any relevance. I mean really, what is your average 10 year old kid going to get out of this video?

    • @kunstderfugue
      @kunstderfugue 8 років тому +30

      +Brock Williams I personally see all these complaints as the word of parents who're too scared of telling their kids what sex is about. Like it's going to hurt their confidence more than lying to them about santa.

      +Brock Williams It would be one thing if it was funny, but at least in this video, it wasn't
      I watch LTT a lot, and I really say that I got the impression that he made sex jokes frequently, so maybe it just usually doesn't feel as forced as it did here

    You should replace your G Watch R with the LG Watch Urbane. It's essentially a G Watch R with a more premium case and glass over the display. It's durable, beautiful, and my friends mistake it for a "real" watch all the time. It's great if you want a more premium looking and feeling product than the R.

    • @acehighflyer123
      @acehighflyer123 9 років тому +1

      DiehlGames Yeah I have seen that one in person, pretty sharp man LG is been on point lately. I got my G3 about 6 months ago and its the bees knees. I think the watch would make a great companion device, I just dont have that type of disposable income right now, otherwise I would be all over it......

    • @DiehlGames
      @DiehlGames 9 років тому

      acehighflyer123 Agreed for sure. LG has really been on the ball the past few years. The Nexus 5, G2, G3, G4, and G Flex 2 are all excellent phones. I've owned the G Watch, G Watch R, and Watch Urbane. No problems with reliability and they just keep getting better with Android Wear updates.

      @ltchugacast131 6 років тому +5

      Jake Rosch I kinda miss the friend circle though. There was just something....idk...campy? Apple Watch felt immature when it came out but in a good way. It was a relatively new field of tech and it was new to the field. Colorful friend circle, vibrant widgets and color choices. Now it definitely feels more mature. Now Playing added works with anything playing even SoundCloud and UA-cam. Hey Siri added. A dock. Health tracking improvements. And other little things that just keep making it feel better as a product. Like more face templates and color choices. I still kinda miss the friend circle though. If you don’t have one you can go on without one. But I’ve lived with one on my wrist for two years, and little things like raising my wrist and asking “Hey Siri what’s the weather like at (school I attend out of town)?” Before getting in the car are just engrained in my daily routines. I rely on my Apple Watch to remind me of calendar appointments and daily reminders for meetings, school projects, etc. Just, once you use one for a while it becomes an extension for all the info you value on your phone. But right at the surface. Some may like it some may hate it. But I’m sticking with mine.

    Lets be real; apple products are fine from a performance/design perspective. Anyone who says differently is blinded by (understandable) hate towards apple.
    However it is disgusting how they so painfully obviousely milk their customers for money. How anyone can like this company is beyond me, and that's one reason why I won't use apple products - I dont like them as a company. (Nor can their products give me a performance/price that is acceptable on any level at all.)
    The only reason they are still in buissness is because of their trusty ,for lack of a better term, iSheep fans.
    *edit : just to clarify: i am not pro apple in any way, but i think you can't just blindly critique them for their producs, but rather the company itself*

      I am a guy from the internet and this is my account
      Apple works like this: they release a really shitty product from a performance/price perspective but with a better UI and more aesthetically pleasing hardware design than their competitors. Usually performance is not only lower, but way more expensive even so.
      Like a year or less later, competitors will have the better products by an possible metric, since they'll have improved their own UI/aesthetics based on their own customer feedback while still maintaining higher performance at a more realistic price, but enough people will be too ignorant of this or that to switch from the apple they bought. Some of it is just the usual lies misleading people, like those above a certain age seeing apple as "easier to use", some of it is faulty logic like "more expensive = better".

Also for those who were wondering, yes it is pretty waterproof. I accidentally took it swimming with full immersion underwater for over 30 minutes and nothing was wrong at all!

    When the first digital watches were introduced in the late '70's the screens were black. You had to press a button to get the red LED display to turn on. Cost about $500 back then = $1,800 in 2016 dollars. For an LED watch that only showed the time - not even the date.

    I think you're downplaying the importance of aesthetics for most people. This isn't a phone that sits in your pocket, it's like an article of clothing. Even if the Apple watch doesn't function as well as its Android wear competitors, it has the crucial advantage of not looking awful and/or like a dorky toy. For me at least, that's the first requirement any smart watch is going to have to meet before I'll consider buying one.

    The biggest downside of this watch is obviously the display. Using LCD for a watch is a terrible idea as it is the biggest power drain on the small battery, and it cannot be always on, which defeats the purpose of having a watch... A "watch" with a turned-off screen 90% of the time is actually a bracelet, not a watch. Apple seriously needs to adopt an "always on" display technology. The e-ink display used on Pebble and Kindle is always on, and low power, but it is very slow and looks horrendous. However, Mirasol display by Qualcomm is the answer as it is fully color, is always on, gives days of battery, and is highly reflective. I have a Qualcomm Toq, which was an experimental product, but I made it my favorite watch because of the beautiful Mirasol display. If Apple adopts Mirasol into their next smart watch, instead of stupid LCD, it will be a game changer.

    • @dhyanpatel142
      @dhyanpatel142 6 років тому

      E-paper displays don't have backlighting so it would be useless in the dark. LCD displays are also more vibrant, better than plain colouring e paper has. Apple is probably trying to make it look and feel the best they can, they are probably looking for ways to improve battery life as well.

    • @iliakorvigo7341

  • @oneaburns
    @oneaburns 8 років тому +18

    Having the Apple Watch since it's release there are many areas that need a lot of improvement but I've not experienced any issues with the battery. The only time it didn't last me a full day with plenty to spare was the day I got it and was checking out every single app. And I'm glad it doesn't turn on when I get a notification. If I'm choosing not to acknowledge the notice then why should the guy across the room see it? It shows it if you lift your wrist. That's how I like it.
    They DO need to improve the heart rate monitor. It only works well for consistent movement exercises like walking or rowing. It is useless if you're lifting weights and almost always gives a very low heartbeat. In general, it can be a little laggy. It needs more processing power.

These watches would be considered electronic scrap in 5 years time, just like smartphone/computers. Buying a good watch will have a far better exponential value growth than these watches. Spending all this money on a smartwatch is stupid in my eyes. I prefer a normal watch that will still work after years and years. Plus... A watch is one less thing to charge and that's a big deal to me nowadays.

    I have the an Apple Watch, and I must say its worth every penny, I use it everyday. The small features made it a big win for me.
    (No I didn't buy the cheap ass one)

      sharks445 FYI, That's not even a Watch. That's a scale.
      Well done wearing a scale on your wrist, sir.
      The Marshmallow Man Yeah, I totally agree. I forgot to plug the charger in once, and was left sitting a day without one, and I totally missed the smart things. It's not a "must have" device, but once you have one you can't go without.

      Steve Jobs was a great guy... but... (Ducking) No one can create over 3000 patents a year. Apple is more than Steve Jobs. I wouldn’t sell Apple or Tim Cook out yet, who knows what they have in development. 😎

    • @Oleg-oe1rc
      @Oleg-oe1rc 6 років тому

      Erin Thorkildsen Lmao, fuck their patents and the developments, if they can't even service their own deivces and brick the device through software if you try to service them yourself, no amount of patents or develipment is going to change that.

    • @Erin-Thor
      @Erin-Thor 6 років тому

      Oleg - Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Steve Jobs "filed" well over three thousand patents a year, which is impossible. Meaning the guy either took the credit for patents away from the employees (normal, they are paid) or had some contractual agreement to get the rights. You may be right, who knows. All I know is that they have developed into the biggest company in the USA, with those resources all bets are off.

    Where you incorrectly said that the LG watch's screen was made of plastic, then added a correction in the form of text at the bottom of the video, you could easily have just cut off the "particularly because of its plastic screen" audio at the end of your sentence so that there was no mistake in the first place.

    Personally, I'm holding out for the iMonocle.
    Features include blinding the eye you wear it on and having to spin your body 3 times in order to enable navigation. It will be ahead of its time, just like all the other Apple products.

    Having to press a button to see the time is a throwback to the 70's, the old man had one of those old digital watches that had a red light up display that had to press a button.

    i wanna see you guys build a PC inside a rack mountable case. its something i plan on doing shortly for music production, and i think it would be an excellent project for you guys to do. if you kept it under $1,500 with water cooling, that would be pretty awesome.

    I cant understand the critics.
    1. I have the 42mm and my battery is usual at 40-70% (depending on usage) at the end of the day. At Night i charge it anways, scince i dont wear my watch in bed.
    2. I think its nice that the display dont automatic turn on when i got a notification. I dont want my watch to showing stuff like that while like everybody could see it. If i raise my arm after getting a "tap", it will show the notification...
    Only thing little bit annoiyng is the watch not turning on everytime i want to check time. It doesnt work well when lying as an example.

  • @DavidDewis

    I still have 40%+ battery at the end of the day. And I have the more prominant vibration on. Not sure why some people are having so many issues.

  • @tylerhanley1409
    @tylerhanley1409 6 років тому

    I still have the Apple Watch sport now and its brilliant, the battery still lasts a full day so I don't know what you were doing to kill it after half a day. if you ask me this is a very very critical review. the fitness tracker works all the time, it doesn't fall off me during work outs. and it doesn't matter anyway because its the best selling watch in general ever.
