apple what

APPLE WHAT
thats what i said when i saw the ad
for
the new apple watch

why do i need an apple watch

heck
ive got this one
i had one like this for the last 25 years

way back then my wife she got me a watch
a nice watch
one of those shiny nice watches
that cost way too much money
i guess it looked good on my arm when i was working
but
i wore it all the time

im ocd about time
just ask my wife she my kids and my former nurses
i like to know the time
ok maybe too ocd

one trick i learned at home
was to set all the clocks forward several minutes
and
to lie about what time we needed to be somewhere
about a 30 minute lie if i remember correctly

heck
now that im retired i use it to remind me what the date is

now
i know what day of the week it is
i havent gone that far down the demented path

so i wore that shiny silvery watch all the time
playing sports
working in the yard
hiking
swimming
hot tubbing
well
it didnt last long
so
i told my wife she
i want one of those sports watches
you know the kind you can wear 24/7
do what you want to do
so
thats what i have done the last 25 years
wore the same one

the only time i got a new one was
when i wore out bands that they didnt make anymore
the watches themselves are still working
was given a new one as an upgrade for a gift
then
i had one actually have the battery run down

i did think about it though
they make these things so well
they last forever
how do they make money
since they rarely break
and
they are so cheap

so why do i need an apple watch

so i did a google search
why i need an apple watch
it costs from $349-$17000
its cool
you can get your emails
you can link it with your other devices

well i really couldnt find any good reason for having one
i just wonder how it would hold up to a week in my life
i sometimes sleep with it
im always dropping it
sometimes from heights sometimes into places i wish i hadnt
i get it really muddy and grimy and wet
then i just hose it off
i get into the hot tub with mine
i wear it when i garden
and
when i do beekeeping

i just wonder if the apple watch would hold up to all that

i keep my smartphone in my pocket in a special protective
cover
i can do my emails facebook messages answer phone calls
make phone calls search the internet
on a screen that i can see

i dont need to know how much exercise i do
i do manual work almost everyday
until im pooped sometimes
then i know i got enough exercise that day

so why do i need an apple watch
my conclusion is

i dont
ill just buy 10 of my watches that will last forever
and
use my smartphone

did they just design a product most of us dont need
and
convince some of us that we needed it

i think so

just let me keep my casio g shock
