LOL, of course my personal troll can't keep himself from showing his colors with the "silly" jab. Surprised he was able to hold back from showing his disdain for BA as well. I can't decide if it would be fun or frustrating to actually think that despite ALL evidence to the contrary you are smarter than everyone else and always right. Probably explains why he lashes out so much.
I personally am not a big fan of the form factor of the Apple Watch but it's no more fragile than any watch not designed for specific outdoor use. It's water resist to the standard 50m and can track swims. Oh, and I doubt that a certain person's huntin watch that "keeps track of time and sunrise and is all any real man should need" has an EKG/heartrate monitor/pedometer/workout tracker(of course those are for pansies) built in. As I said my Dr. actually recommended it as the EKG/heartrate stuff can be tracked. I bought one for my 70yo mom because she lives alone and it has a fall detection feature in addition to an easy way built in to call 911 and automatically contact emergency contacts.
Oh. and as much as I'm addicted to texting because of course I'm a feckless generational, the watch is just a mirror of your phone...ie..if you get a text it will show up on your watch but you can only reply by choosing a pretyped reply provided or using Siri(which most don't use) to voice dictate. It's more for if you need to check a received text but can't look at your phone: say if you're in a meeting, at dinner, or even in your car with all the hands free laws. Could certainly be used by chatty people addicted to texting. OR could be(and often is) used by professionals.
Anyway, y'all can feel free to get back on the mocking bandwagon. I personally wouldn't have thought I'd own one lol. Just thought I'd share that MAYBE it's a bit more useful than as a texting platform or world clock. Making fun of something is more fun when vague generalizations are taken out. 😉
I walked away from the corporate world back in 2003. When I did, I took off my watch and hung up all my ties. I have no clue whatever happened to my watch and haven't missed it at all. As far as my ties go, maybe have worn one 10 times since...
The sad thing is she's just a few years younger than me. After you've been told you are being rude and asked to put your phone down, you shouldn't read a text that comes through your watch. You shouldn't have to be told that is rude as well.
@ghostofuga1 I must work in one of the strangest corporate offices on earth. They let us wear jeans and tennis shoes or sandals every day. Their motto is if we are comfortable we will work better. Needless to say we were all surprised when they said that. We are now a European company so that might have a lot to do with it.
And the way it should be @DvilleDawg . I worked for a "Big 5" accounting firm back then and they did start allowing "Casual Friday" which meant we lose the tie and wear khakis and nice dress shirts....
I'd agree that she was being rude. I think people who text/Facebook/whatever at a meal or when in a social situation are rather horrid. My point is that she should have muted her phone which would have muted the watch. In that case she would have been no different than presumably everyone else at the table with a muted phone in pocket/purse.
That she didn't mute her phone and chose to look at a text whether on her phone or watch makes her narcissistic, not that she got an alert on her watch. If you were at lunch with a Dr on call would you rather they glanced at their watch or kept pulling out their phone?
Rude people are rude. I'd argue that if someone is so full of themselves that they can't go five mins w/o checking a personal text, the smartwatch is at least keeping the most likely massive and gaudily cased phone out of sight and off table.
I work in Finance as well. We were owned by a French company who sold us to a German company. All I know is neither country is high on working a full 40 hour week. The Germans are more lax in the working environment than anybody I've worked for yet.
LOL is right. Good for the goose is good for the gander, right? The fact you wasted time writing 4 paragraphs is pleasing to me, but as you should have already known - TLDR past seeing you had your wittle feewings hurt. Truly sorry, pal. Say hello to your alt buddy, Levander.
Try to play nice. You're turning into wcdawg when he’s cranky
I still have a gold plated Omega Seamaster I bought in a Px in Vietnam on 1/2/69 for $99. It stopped working a few years ago and I had it repaired. Cost me $200. I still wear it on special occasions, but wear a GARMIN Vivofit daily.
Then throw me a snickers bar, and don't play favorites with the Schifftards who liked your post. Scooter is nothing but a troll. He is just like Levander.
BA wears a watch so he can keep up with the last time those lousy stinking gators have beat the Georgia Bulldogs. It’s been a while!
I bet he's got it timed to the nanosecond lol.
Here's how "old school" I am: not only do I still wear a watch, I wear one that has to be wound to stay accurate. In other words, it isn't battery powered. I guess I'm just an old soul.
You're a man's man. Those tiny batteries are for women with very delicate hands. When I graduated HS eons ago a friend got a watch for graduation. It was (at that time) one of those new digital watches that didn't have a battery but you had to shake it to wind it and make it light up with the time. About a $400 watch. He was constantly twisting and jerking his wrist to wind it and see the time. I couldn't see the point if you had to work so much just to see the time other than to brag that "I have a $400 watch". Personally I've never worn a watch. Or a necklace. It annoys me to have something on me like that. Dunno why. I got a simple but nice wind up watch for Christmas one year, wore it about a week, and threw it out the car window one day on a whim. I felt liberated.
