For the last 15 years, I have been contract with short "real jobs" in the middle. But after 6 months to a year I have fixed the issues and it is maintenance. I do not like it, and they do not like paying my salary for it, so on to the next. Feeds my ADD.:)
I said they had small penetration. AC said, they have more then anybody else. I responded that was because NO ONE had large penetration, unlike, for example, in phones. See the logic now?
I can't say I've ever seen (or rather, "observed") a Tag Heuer watch. But anything that is to be considered as a dive watch should have a bezel which will only spin one way (towards increased elapsed dive time).
Tag Bezel only spins one way. I have dove with it many times.
I have a Tag from 2001. I have a Rolex from 1966. A 4 year old iWatch is trash... Not a good investment or accessory.
And what vintage is the hatorade? Replace the battery in the old iWatch and it will run circles around the Rolex as long as it's functional.
And with the Rolex, you never have to replace the battery. You never have to pair it with a smart phone. You never have to worry about an EMP.:) And it is still working after 50 years...
If you are diving, you already have a much more functional "watch" on your wrist (or hanging close by).
No. I dive with my Tag. It was kind of the point of those spinning bezels. And it is good to 300 meters. The iWatch? "Update (09/12/17): The Apple Watch Series 3 is listed as "swimproof." The fine print on apple.com notes that the Series 3 Watch is water resistant up 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means it is safe to take your watch in swimming pools or the ocean, but it should not be used for scuba diving, water skiing, or other water activities where it may be submerged in deeper water."
It's still nice to know the temperature outside without pulling phone out of the pocket, unlocking it, opening an app, waiting for it to load, then getting the temperature.
You really are doing it wrong here. I do none of those things to see the temp and a simple forecast.
Like google moon shot budget is multiples of many startups that is public, Apple and amazon have multiple hope and a prayer projects or just in case. I am donâ(TM)t follow what you mean by scared of risk. Thats an insurance / bank thing
Google will never do anything disruptive with search, because that is their bread and butter. Nor with advertising. Yes, they have moonshots, but only in new markets. and never anything that might hurt YouTube, for example.
Yeah. Try getting out of your parents' basement sometime. Out here in the real world, I'd estimate that at least 50% of my coworkers have Apple Watches. Probably 75% of my friends have them. (Just to be charitable, I'm leaving out the ones who actually work for Apple.) And if you go out and about in the city (shopping, dining, socializing, etc.) it's not at all uncommon for cashiers, baristas, waiters, and bartenders to have them.
Yes, waiters and baristas are the fashion trend-setters. Those guys with the Rolex and a BMW are just wannabes.
Large companies at the top of their game are very risk averse. They have a lot to lose now, so play very conservatively. New startups have nothing to lose and take chances because of that. Most of them fail. But we only hear about the successes that took a wild chance with nothing to lose. And occasionally, one of those shots in the dark hits a bulls eye that redefines everything.
Well, when you double 20 people, it is a big increase...:) Seriously, their market penetration is so minuscule that it does not take much to show a lot of "improvement." But I do not see Tag, Rolex, or any other big watch maker worried.
Maybe it's because I don't want an accessory on my wrist that offers almost no advantages over the cell in my pocket, meanwhile costing the same as a nice watch but looking like an 80's calculator wrist watch.
And something that is only in style for about 6 months... I have a Tag from 2001. I have a Rolex from 1966. A 4 year old iWatch is trash... Not a good investment or accessory.

Of course, Windows bricks AMD systems now. https://www.gamespot.com/artic...
I too am holding back updates for exactly the same reason... And this made me laugh...
"The Intel exec said users shouldn't feel discouraged by these snags and continue to install updates from OS makers and OEMs."
Sure...
Forget the FCC rules! This is the real problem. With real competition, filtering would not be an issue.

I generally do not keep my tablet in my pocket.
Their market penetration is not miniscule. They are already outselling all the other watchmakers, Rolex included.
No one owns the watch market. Compare it to their phone penetration...

As if there's any guarantee any watch will be working in 20 years without maintenance. Calm yourself, Sparky.
Well, there is the Rolex from 1966... :)
there's nothing I can do on my wrist that I can't already do on my smartphone.
Check your smartphone time while riding a motorcycle at 80. :) You wanted a new one anyway...

Next week they will convert all the songs to RealPlayer format. And if you don't like it, too bad! It ain't your server! Hahahahaha
Proof that no one at apple reads their own forums.
He has been stable for a while now.
The laws are different from state to state. ;)
And, as the value went down, the cost went up. Isn't one of the things they teach Return On Investment?
Think of the poor white people that have to drive such distances to get a title loan!
The only color Apple cares about is green.
