I love having a smart watch.
Put on water for coffee or tea “Set a timer for 4 minutes” “Why is my watch buzzing? Oh yeah!” Don’t let it all boil away any more
tbf a dumb watch can usually do this too
I don’t love talking to my electronics, but when it works, “siri two minutes” is dramatically more convenient than whatever bullshit you’d do with tiny buttons on a Casio whatever in the 80s. I do agree with the sentiment, but … we’re pretty spoiled.
i personally dont agree it’s dramatically more convenient. first and foremost, I don’t have to say anything to my wrist. it works when it’s loud around me and it doesn’t get it wrong sometimes. it doesn’t die on me and it doesn’t bother me with messages from work. a few button presses are not dramatically more inconvenient bullshit imo. I don’t even need to look to do it anymore. my phone can also hear and respond to me from my pocket. I can just ask my phone. just my perspective. I respected your method until you said mine was bullshit.
hey friend, you ok?
yes, you said what I do is bullshit and I responded as to why it’s not. do you always just provoke people and accuse them of being not ok once they respond?
I’m sorry my words upset you; ‘bullshit’ was meant broadly, referencing my general experience with watches in the 80s—like a synecdoche, where a part stands for the whole. It wasn’t aimed at anyone personally.
