Not slagging the iphone or watch but technology generally
Did we ever need to Skype or send email whilst we shopping for chicken dippers in Waitrose or mountain biking through the park or taking a beautiful walk up a mountain....
Game changing,but so very poor for the human race that is becoming so backward with every alleged advancement
Think about it carefully and sensibly and post a proper reply.This is not what we are about.Wall-E was a very good reminder.But hey ho

Btw, has anyone had to send a watch to Vostok for repair?
I sent my Anchar to the UK dealer, Arbro limited back in November and it's still not ready.
After numerous e-mails and no replies I threatened to take them to Trading Standards, finally they replied on the 22nd February saying they were going to send the watch to the Vostok HQ (it has taken almost 4 months for this to happen).
It's been a month since this has "happened" and no updates yet.
What would you do?
It's getting ridiculous, it's been almost 5 months since I sent the watch to be repaired and I can't get an answer when it will be ready.

App updates to support Apple Watch are really ramping up now, just awesome that some of my favourite apps will work on day one.
Apple have added guided tours, lots more details. https://www.apple.com/watch/guided-tours/

There's a flaw or two in this technology, I only read about it so don't know the detail but one of them involved a very expensive fluid or something like that, maybe you're right and Apple will be the one's who find the answers and if they do they deserve reward.

Jeez...Apple owners think Apple invented everything...always amazes me when an Iphone user shows you some app on their phone to perform a task that people have been doing for a decade without the need for an app....oh and forget their leaps and bounds in battery technology...a bit of work on the telephony side of things would be great. I remember complaining about a c*appy 3GS 4 years back and 3UK telling me that they would send me out a signal booster box for it LOL...for real...a signal booster box.
Apple are nothing more than a very very successful piece of marketing...there are better phones out there, better mp3 players out there, better laptops and tablets out there yet people flock in droves to Apple stores like lemmings...Just another example of how shallow consumerism and the chance it gives materialistic types to mock lesser mortals who might have an Android tab (shock)... like when someone used to wear a pair of Gola or Dunlop Green Flash Trainers when everyone else had Nikes...fashion plain and simple.
