There is always a risk and yes, i'll agree giving data to Chinese companies is a lot riskier than to the ones in America but if i have a choice, it's neither but it all depending on who is running the show in US. Right now, there's not much difference between US and China.

MrDing, 20 Oct 2020Not only the US. Also banned even by Asian countries.Only Japan and Taiwan have banned Huawei in Asia. They have close US ties.

Android.Master, 20 Oct 2020Smart watches are just for showoff purposes.
They have very little productivity scope as of n... moreI used to think the same until my wife gifted me one.
Not all features are useful for me but few are really useful.
1. I am in marketing profession which requires a lot of calls and meetings. While in meetings I can easily see the messages and calls on my wrists without being rude by taking phone out on each notifications.
2. I can keep my phone on silent mode all the time and get the notification on watch which also makes sure I do not miss any notifications even when I'm noisy environment
So depending on your lifestyle it could be very convenient to different users.
It also helps keep track of calories ans movements when you do not carry your phone.
Eventually it all comes to price you want to pay for convenience. For some it may be alot and for some it will be peanut.
Android.Master, 20 Oct 2020Same things you mentioned can be done more conveniently by taking out your phone. Reading not... moreNo it's not more convenient, especially if it's not polite to wave around with phone. Or not allowed (like at work). Build quality is perfectly fine and it's by no means "poor".
[deleted post]Okay Then explain me Mr genius why huawei is banned by 80 % of potential consumers when they could have built 5G network for the whole world. Which chnese donkeybrain was behind all this.
Ouch paying premium just to get the wrist burn, that is salt in the wound... :(
Gosh. Guys. Dont you get it?its a new feature they added. Its apple. Of course they had a new feature added to the smartwatch.
So earlier we had various different models of iPhones exploding and causing burns, now the Apple smartwatch has joined the list as well.
AnonD-558092, 20 Oct 2020As long as there's no sensationalist "Apple Watch EXPLODES, baby suffers 3rd degree ... morePretty sure Anandtech and other sites which are part of the Apple PR campaign are going to turn this around on the users.

Reading notification takes a few swipes before you read the whole thing on a watch while on a phone you read it in One go.
Besides, this is cheap quality product as tested by Jerry.
He is very unbiased and doesn't hesitate to call out poor build quality product like the bending iPad pro

Getting notifications on the wrist, basic quick functions like calculator or timer and safety features like fall detection or emergency call availability down to something as mondane as silencing the call by covering watch face with my hand after I see it's not an important call and I can't pick it up that moment. Not having watch just feels weird now as I want to use those features.
Also JerryRegEverything burn test all of a sudden becomes useful :D

Foldables of all kinds like the ones you can strap it on your wrists or arm are the future, but right now they have limited use.
Cheap quality continues to rule.
How many people are going to burn their wrists or pants due to using Apple products?
Boggy-Stefy, 20 Oct 2020Hahahaha.
But seriously now, can anybody explain to me why to get a smartwatch? And on top o... moreWhy? Simple. You still can do smart phone stuff even if your smartphone is at home.
If you are a runner, you may not want to bring your phone for a jog. Just something strap to your wrist. You pass by a vending machine / store.. you can pay with your smartwatch without a phone.. via apple pay. You can pick up calls / view whatsapp / listen to music when you run. When you fall down, hurt yourself.. the watch automatically send sos, then when you get home.. you can unlock your doors if you have those smart locks. Apple watch does all those better then all smartwatches outside.. thus you do not see android users with smart watches.. because it lousy.
So yeah.. if you do not want that, and have a phone superglued to your hands always.. then i guess its not much use to you.
Anonymous, 20 Oct 2020They're wearing them wrong.Hahahaha.
But seriously now, can anybody explain to me why to get a smartwatch? And on top of everything, an expensive one. Not necessarily saying about Apple watch, but any smartwatch.
If you are a fitness freak, go get a fitness band. Is much cheaper and the battery is way better.
I rather look at my phone or PC/laptop if I want to know the time. And sleep monitoring, why do I need that? Heart rate measure, what you guys are 80 years old with heart problems? Distance measure? Just get your as* of that chair and move, you don't need a smartwatch to tell you that.
See, I just save you guys 300EUR. Take that money and buy something more important, than a useless smartwatch.
