Finally my favorite watch channel uploads! Welcome back to the land of the living!
This vid essentially reinforced my view on the Apple Watch. While it is competent at doing some functions, it's just an extension of a device that, like the watch, will be essentially useless landfill in less than a decade. It's absent-mindedly minimalist design, reliance on subscriptions for otherwise relatively basic functions, hit or miss functionality and no outstanding features beyond the iPhone makes it merely another device you dispose of in a few years, instead of something special you can truly rely on for many, many years. My Seiko SNJ025 does most of the things an average person could reasonably need out of a timepiece and it thrashes the Apple watch in terms of what it's capable of and it's longevity; it can survive being submerged and it will keep on ticking for decades because of its solar movement, while most Apple watches will probably end up like those brick-sized mobile phones from the 80s and 90s
After 5 years I have replaced my Galaxy Gear S3 Classic with an automatic chronograph.
it's great to have you back! great video!
Great breakdown of all functionalities, comparison with other brands, all whilst specifying what you are talking about, really well done review (essentially) !
Great to have you back 😊👍⌚! Really dig your profound, unbiased, thoughtful and individually tailored reviews - a righteous rarity on RUclips! This one is no exception, thank you for taking us on the trip and sharing your observations. Those Apple watches (like the computers) are probably mostly for an urban hipster target group and that's where they make most sense. Garmin or Suunto are more like the real deal. Already looking forward to your next upload - and take your time 😊🤟👊
Great to see you back with another upload! I’d say your videos over time have strongly influenced quite a few watches I’ve went on to purchase. I hope you don’t feel too pressurised by people to upload more frequently as I’m sure most of your subscribers don’t mind the wait for what end up being very well edited/well informed watch reviews
I love your videos and I understand it takes time to make meaningful videos like this, I mean it. Look forward to seeing the next one.
I was obsessed over an idea of pip-boy, and was watching wearables closely for years. Strapping a phone to a wrist was surprisingly awkward. Android wear was nice an circular. Apple Watch is a wearable computer done right
Can you do a video on a robust and practical moonphase watch? Cultures used to the phase of the moon to plan their work. It’s a little superstitious, but I think it’s a great complication.
Maybe you could make a follow-up for those who are interested in which you go into what apps to install on it for what purposes (as to get to filling in all the functionality that is missing on the Apple Watch out of the box)..?
Jeez, Apple should WATCH this. BTW, essentially the whole colour setting for the compass is nonsense: it only gives you choice between the red and white that are already present, spreading that (non)setting out over twenty or so possible choices that all are identical. Well, if their initial error in this iteration of their compass accidentally can be corrected by one choice out of that whole slur of them, maybe it accidentally still was good for something, but still..
I bought mi watch lately but only wear it two times, just not for me. Im more happy wearing quartz/automatic watch at all.
I like the Garmin Instinct. I have the Solar version as I didn't want the battery to die when hiking. Though it is somewhat of a wrist computer, it is more of a fitness watch and can be used without a phone if one desires. I like the Garmin Connect app for fitness, and the Garmin Explore app for hiking which is my biggest need for this watch. The GPS tracking on the Garmin is nice, and it does bread crumb back-tracking when using the Hiking Activity so hopefully I will never get lost in the woods, lol. After turning all notifications off with the Connect app, I really enjoy my watch. I think it also helps being solar when you are doing things on the watch that can be high-draining for the battery. If I need phone stuff, I use my phone. I don't need the watch to be my phone for text messages, phone calls, photography, etc. I would really like to see you do a video on the Garmin. Keep up with the great content! Your style is great!
What size Apple Watch do you use?
I don't know why, but I don't
I always wondered what the deal with Apple watch was with most of my family and reviews online constantly praising it yet never really cared enough to research it on my own.
Love this channel but I hate apple watches it just doesn't do it for me most of the features I have on my phone and time I have on one of my many watches
I use a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, but only for work outs and on the rowing machine. I won't bother upgrading and will get a cheap fit bit when it dies. Use one of my good quality automatic watches for everyday use or my G-Shock Mudmaster trekking and mountaineering. Smartwatches are without character. Just another electronic device that is obsolete in a couple of years. Disposable tech, and a waste of money. No batteries on automatic watches, everlasting solar batteries powered by sunlight on the G-Shock. One sunny day charge.....2 years usage. Tough as nails, 200m water resistance, compass, temperature, altimeter, barometer, world time with 31 time zones, 46 cities, atomic timekeeping, stopwatch, timer, perpetual calendar, 5 alarms, never obsolete, and for the same price as a disposable Apple or Samsung Watch.
