Anyone on here have an Apple Watch? I’m going to buy one, but waiting until the second gen comes out, I’m not baller, do I care enough, to spend more than $300 on a watch, but I like the idea of a smart watch.

Just looking for opinions, which is funny because this is the internet.

I received and Apple Watch as a gift. While the concept is cool, the battery life makes it impractical since you can’t even get through a full day on a charge.

That’s the one thing I’ve read as well, that’s why I’m waiting out for the Apple Watch 2, it’s supposedly going to have improved battery life over this current generation.

I have an apple watch, got it on sale for $249 is the only reason I got it. I can go almost 2 days on a charge, when I get up to shower and cook my eggs in the morning I throw it on the charger and it’s at 100% when I leave the house. I consider it like a phone, it’ll be fucking garbage in 2-3 years and I’ll post it here for pennies and still get offers of broken snowboard bindings for it. I’m halfheartedly planning on a Seiko purchase but kinda meh on it, I work for a living and not posting about dick wiping with silk pocket square or my sock game. FYI all my socks are Snap-on, made the USA by Eco-Hosiery.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you. Diameter is 42mm, but the inner chapter ring makes it look smaller. 13mm thick. 22mm lugs.

Yeah I was in the market for a tough, reliable, simple watch and had a Casio way back when, I did my research and ended up with it. I like digital watches.
