This is literally the most boring argument in the history of man.

"I have an opinion on something and i feel strongly that i am right - therefore all others views on this must be wrong and i will defend my position even by saying silly things because otherwise I am wrong and this cannot happen"

This continues back and forwards until the end of time and we all waste time even though it's measured precisely on our new apple watch.

I've ordered 2 and can't wait for them to arrive, if you want to buy mine for £100 on the bay when the G2 arrives that's fine by me.

It's very early but I'd say 50% compared to buying another brand. Buy cheap buy twice.

What sort of percentages compared with not having the watch at all.

It's not near zero it's exactly zero. These are luxury items that no one needs.

You have to wonder about the psyche of a poster who answers his own posts

You need to question the sanity of this clown when what he's asking is "You have an orange in one had and no orange in the other, which hand has the most orange?"

Okay,so to summarise. This device isn't going to save you any time or money compared with having nothing at all or any other of the competition

The obvious one is not reaching for or going for my phone when I get a notification. I get a lot of notifications that's a lot of time.

And I'm guessing you have a small house if you can reach your phone from any position.

Truthfully now Jack


Are you trying to justify to yourself the requirement for having shelled out for a fancy watch?

No, I'm trying to answer your dull questions. I'm super excited about getting my Watch, Apple's motto is "Under Promise and Over Deliver" I fully expect it to be better than I think.

I don't know about you but I tend to keep my phone in my pocket unless it's charging or I'm in the office (in which case it's no further away than a smart watch would be i.e. arms length).

Haven't you heard what happens to the iPhone 6+ when you leave it in your pocket

Even if it's 10 seconds quicker to glance at your wrist to find out that Aunt Sheila has baked a cake it all adds up.

The numbers are starting to come in and already the Watch has outsold all Android wear watches combined, in a week! Good work Apple.
