Apple Watch---Big Deal or Big Bust?

[brown metal coffin]

I had 5 today. Funny; people that I never see had their doors wide open waiting to give signatures today. Didn't have to bring any back.

Yeah, I saw a story earlier that had the prices wrong. They are stupidly expensive.

The Apple Watch is available in three models — all identical except for the metal that forms the case. There’s aluminum alloy (Apple Sport, $350 and up); stainless steel(Apple Watch, $550 and up); and hardened 18K gold (Apple Watch Edition, $10,000and up).

I'll pass. My phone is my watch.

People get too excited about iCrap in general. The fact that they need to lock them up at night is ridiculous. If you want to invest in a watch get a solid, mechanical timepiece that will run for a lifetime or more. Not some overrated piece of technocrap that costs upward of a grand and will be outdated in six months.

I wear a $35 Timex wristwatch and have a 4 year old iPhone 4.

Guess what? They both work just fine, they are both paid for, and if either one of them got smashed up by a box or a loose handcart at work, I wouldn't shed a tear. A package car is an extremely harsh environment and I don't want to own anything that I have to worry about too much.

Probably about 40 in our center. I had 2. Got rid of one, the other is going back out for delivery tomorrow.

They are upgrading to Saturday delivery?

That's what they did here too.
I only had one for delivery.

Funny seeing as how they are so worried about this particular item being stolen yet they post it up for all to see with a picture of the box and what to look for and what not in the hub on multiple screens.

 

[HEFFERNAN]

Delivered one on Friday.
Packaging was different than the iPhones so didn't realize it was an Apple watch until I noticed the diad prompts.

Please try to stay on topic.

Had two, got rid of both. One of our drivers had a customer who was waiting impatiently on his porch. He ordered the $10,000 model.

All of our send agains got upgraded for delivery today.

A guy who gets the 10k model just wants to strut around and claim he's an . And a stupid one.

Our center had 40. I had none. I saw none in the NDA office where we were told to leave them. Pretty much people are waiting at the door for Iphones, these, any phone, and dish remotes

I had four, got rid of two, had to return the send-agains to the high-value office.

All send-agains were upgraded to Saturday service - I think they just want them out of the building and gone.

I have a 2004 flip phone, and a $10 watch from the Walmarts.

Or the welfare card. They run to my truck.

So if they swear up and down that they never got their card and you know full well that you handed it right to them do you also call them a liar?
