The best smart watch

[blessedwife318]

The animal sure scares me! Who would want to meet him?

I'll take a mountain lion over the spiders and bugs I deal with in Arizona any day. Your excuse still holds no water as there are plenty of areas to walk for FREE that mountain lions aren't going to visit.

No too expensive and besides I don't listen to music I listen to podcasts which can't be synced to the watch.

Really? That's what I listen to as well (that and audiobooks). The iconx buds are great.

 

[JonC]

Android? Android?

Yes. If I can find $40 iPhones as replacements then I wouldn't mind. But there is no need to pay more than needed for a product that would be no more productive.

Spiders? What type in Arizona? I bet you have scorpions as well.

My FREE headphones meet my needs.

We aren't talking needs, remember. (And nothing's free ).

I like not having the wires (I'm too tall and jerk them out of my ears at every turn). I was wondering because I do have the Samsung Iconx which work great on my Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android) to listen to my PODCASTS .

So my iPhone works fine for podcasts. No need for a $80 pair of headphones. I have spent enough money.

Yes non apple watches belong in drawers!

Knowing my non-love of Apple - did this strike anyone else as trying to taunt non-Apple folks?

Good, glad you are content with wired headphones.

At least it is not another lemonade thread.

I have all kinds of Apple products in my house! MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, and now my watch!

Yes, except Mikes is android and Angry Orchard is apple.

Yep toys. You don't need a smart watch to prevent you dying from a heart attack. It's called "going for a walk and eating healthy". I have an app on my phone called MyFitnessPal that helps to track calories and I have another app called RunKeeper that keeps track of my running and walking. I also bought a pair of $100 running shoes (BIG expense for me) and I've got 250 miles on the shoes now. So I'm out $100 (which has actually saved me because of a torn tendon in my foot and I haven't needed surgery yet with a good pair of shoes) and my heart is quite healthy. No need for a smartwatch.

MyFitnessPal is awesome!

It's 1999 and there is no need for a smartphone! Just stick to your flip phone or landline! Think about that.

Yep - there is no need for a smartphone at all. But I have it (got it from my daughter) and so I use it. It costs me $20 a month on Cricket service.

I can understand the idea that an Apple Watch falls more into the luxury category than the necessity category, but you can question just about any purchase a person makes.

You can always save more. You can always invest better. Etc, etc.

As long as you don't go overboard with it, I don't worry about it. I know that I personally spend money on entertainment as a stress relief, but if I didn't do that, I'd lose my mind (not joking--I've spent time in the hospital, which is even more expensive!).

The problem is that the OP has tens of thousands of dollars of debt and he has no plans to repay the debt except paying the minimum payment. Apparently he doesn't make enough money to pay down his debt but he has enough to buy a $500 toy.

I wish that Mrs. Rolf would consent to me having a basic Flip-Phone.

And you wonder why you have money troubles...
