Who says you can't, don't be held back by the rules of others, if you want to drive into an office be a man and drive into an office. Just as I will sometimes use my card you can sometimes use your car.

comparing a car to a card payment is rather different kettle of fish hahahaha

How you find it pointless is beyond me. I paid for my shopping last night with it and today will eat a McDonalds in my van which has not involved reaching for my wallet. Like it or not it's the future and trying to belittle it just makes you look silly.

Whilst I can't make any comment on Apple Pay, the ease of use around the Apple Watch has been quite enlightening.......
My mate said to me that it won't change my life (lol), but it will make things more convenient. I was slightly pessimistic about it..... until using one.
At work (or even at home) it's weird how much more convenient it is to be notified of emails and texts on your watch. Instead of having to reach for your phone, you just turn your wrist and you can quickly see notifications and dismiss etc.
Now, I'm sure that sounds pretty "meh", but once you get used to it, it really does become more convenient. My phone tends to spend more time in my pocket now (in between proper usage), or just charging on my laptop etc. This notification through to your watch is very useful in meetings as well.
It's nothing life changing, but it just makes things more agile to me.
Look..... the watch does nothing that blows your brains. However, it is a nice piece of tech that looks good imo and works.
I actually wear this watch every day now...... something I haven't done for years (and I have a pretty expensive TAG).
I like it now and become quite attached to it.... I suspect over time I'll feel quite lost without it.
The heart rate monitor is a good laugh....... when I've been in a couple of meetings and things are getting heated, I have turned around and said "Guys, can I just check my heart rate, as things are getting a bit lively here!". It's changed the atmosphere of the meeting quite nicely, with a few laughs.

Interesting.
I sheepishly admit that I'm not really using the HRM belt much with my Suunto; being of rather triangle shape (40/42" chest, 28" waist), I just cannot get it to stay up without having it too tight to be comfortable, I need some sort of over the shoulder "bra" type strap but none exist; weird as most athletes are triangular too.
Having said that, I know my heart beats like the clappers when trail running but not so much when cycling or swimming!

"Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves, however, sees a slump. He wrote in a note to clients: 'Anecdotal evidence suggests Apple Watch demand is slowing quickly.' He slashed his sales prediction for 2015 to 10.5 million - 500,000 less than his initial estimates."

could argue that compared to iphone ales and such yes it is a flop lol, but given the declining numbers, all be it guestimated by those in the know, doesn;t really bode well for it being one of apples big success's, despite the hype

Get back in the corner dunce. If the Apple Watch is a flop what does that mean for all of the Android Wear watches? Combined they haven't sold 20% of the devices that Apple have, now that's a flop. Christmas sales should be good.

That's good, I don't really want people going Wow when they see it, it's a personal thing, if you use one you'll find something impressive. I'm going to have a Quarter Pounder today and I'm going to pay for it by waving my watch out of the window of my van, that's impressive to me.

I have a lot of technical knowledge that I could use, I get paid for it and have done for 30 odd years. You have trouble writing, so I won't waste words you won't understand.
