2015-06-05
oh hey baby what's up yeah yeah no no do that thing I like uh-huh that's right what's up guys on my wrist I've had this Apple watch for about three to four weeks and this is really my realtalk review to you the Fab Five things of what I like about it and what I don't like about it so let's start off with number one right now I love how it looks I was only gonna buy the stainless steel edition with this cool snazzy strap yeah I put down a lot of cold hard cash for it but if I'm gonna wear this everyday it has to be something that I like how it looks this is definitely one of the top things that I love about it now number two it's these things that I like to call moments of WoW using it while you're traveling use it as a boarding pass for your plane ticket opening your hotel room with certain hotels or even paying with things it's things that you've never experienced before and I think that really makes this a special device I don't know if it's necessary but it does make it pretty cool now number three what I like about it also is digital touch it sounds corny but I do send like a heartbeat to my boo we like write messages and drawings to each other it really personalizes this watch it makes it different than any other one that's out there right now so yeah that's one of the things that I also like about it and the number four everyone's gonna kind of like this about the watch is getting messages text messages being able to see them from your wrist I don't respond to them but being able to have them right there is really cool and then number five if I had to think about a fifth one I can't like I'm not gonna force this right I do like four things about it but there's not too many things that I'm really raving about and that's what this is all about so let's now jump over to things I don't like number one app load times when you open some of these apps like Yelp or ESPN or others it might take three seconds five seconds eight seconds to load by the time you're done you're wondering why didn't I actually just go to my phone and that leads me to number two a lot of the times you have an app like uber you call for an uber car and then you're wondering where it is well you end up pulling your phone out and going to the screen with Yelp I look for restaurants I go to my big screen so a lot of times you end up really using your phone screen more than you do with this I know it's a lightweight device but it does really give you enough information to do the things that you want the third thing that I'm not so hot about is notifications I personally pretty much have turned off every single notification other than messages this watch tells you to like stand up it'll get you things from all your different apps but it's just too much it's intrusive and that's one of things I don't like about it number four fitness features on this just aren't that helpful now what I mean by that it measures your heart rate but then even if I'm not really doing much my heart rate is all over the place it tells you to stand up every hour that can be annoying if you're watching a movie and overall if you're someone who works out all the time goes to the gym I play basketball a lot the fitness features on this won't help you if you're someone that's really casual that doesn't really do much I think you'll like to fitness features but for me it's just not something that I use and finally number five the novelty of this thing just wears off over time so let's say all those moments of wow I talked about after week two after week three after week four you just stop using those features as much I only use this thing to check the time look at my messages once in a while and then pay for things once in a while so you know there you have it I like how this looks I over all like to watch more than I thought it would but really it's gonna be up to developers Apple and androids platform to really figure out do we even need one of these things right now the answer is probably not
