What’s that? You didn’t know?
Yup, I’ve recently stopped wearing my Apple Watch.
Lots of Pro-Apple bloggers have admitted that they don’t wear the Apple Watch anymore. Most of them work @ home for a living on a MacBook all day and rarely leave their house. Most of them admit they only wear the Apple Watch when exercising. If I was working at home full-time, I wouldn’t own an Apple Watch either. I’d recommend not taking the advice of people who don’t leave the house. It’s not that there’s some issue with their lifestyle. I love work @ home jobs. It’s that when I’m at home, I’m not wearing my watch. There’s a clock in every room and I can hear my iMac ding when there’s a new email or iMessage. I only wear the watch while playing Xbox One video games because my phone is docked and I’m not in a position to run across the house when an email comes in. Glancing at my watch during the 2-3 minute long Xbox loading screens is very convenient. I also wear the watch while doing chores or cleaning. It’s convenient.
If you work for a living and commute to work, walk to Chipotle for lunch, hit the gym after work and take long trips, the Apple Watch is insanely awesome.
If you roll out of bed, make coffee and sit at your desk all day and write, the value proposition is far lower. My watch only gets used when I’m not at my desk. You have to think of the author’s lifestyle when you read articles like this. For some people, a wrist iPhone isn’t worth it as they’re in front of a computer. The Apple Watch works best when I’m not able to look at a phone, tablet, laptop, desktop screen.
