    I mean these watches are for low IQ people anyways. Yeah I judge you hardcore. My old school casio watch does me just fine. We just need to start calling people out. If I stuck a dildo to my head, are you gonna ignore that? If these low self esteem folks can be bullied via keeping up with the jones then we can whip the turd nerd herd right back to reality. I say no mercy. You are a fucking loser if you use this spyware slop. Like I don’t want to be your friend if you use this shit. Cry about it you know. Fuck your techno tyranny and baby bitch tears you fucking low IQ loser. Like go away nerd. Tell them how it is. Make sure you tell them they are dumb to. Fuck big tech, the gipity and lazy followers dragging us all down. It would of been better if you were never born. I mean that.

    Who wants a recap of their day?

    “You woke up at 7:22am!”
    “You played stardew valley in bed for 14 hours!”
    “You took minor chickie mcnuggie breaks twice today!”

    I have the perfect timepiece. It tells the time and that’s it. It syncs to atomic time so it’s always accurate and charges by solar so it’s never dead. It has no transmitter or audio capabilities.

      …unless, of course, you’re close to a person who wears one of these. then you still get spied on yaaaaayyyyy

      and unlike the meta glasses, these look the same as any apple watch, which have already been normalized in society. so shunning people for wearing these won’t work cuz you won’t be able to tell. i love the future this is so COOL

    Apple seems really focused on preventing the audio from making it off the device.

    Which fine, I believe they’ll make that very difficult. Apple has engineering chops.

    But it’s not the fucking point. I ALSO don’t want every watchhole around me making transcriptions of anything I say within earshot of whoever wears one. Which will be way less noticeable than even smart glasses. Say goodbye to having an unrecorded conv in most public places.

    The whitewashing of the privacy probs with this is galling.

      Once the technology is implemented and ubiquitous it would only take a secret government mandate and a gag order for the code to be altered to listen for particular words and phrases and log them

      Exact same thought when I saw their presentation. Fucking unreal how many episodes are getting more and more real over last few years. Can’t wait for this stupid AI boom to die, it still won’t go anywhere but at least they would stop accelerating the planet’s death. Hopefully, maybe.

      Just any parts of your day you spent near ppl wearing one of these.

      Or any of the others that’ll have a shittier implementation than Apple’s.

      I’ve never seen anyone come up with anything even slightly useful for any smart watch.

      $500 bucks to learn that your heart rate goes up when you exercise and to start each day being told your sleep wasn’t perfect. Wow what awesome actionable information thanks

      Oh you paid a thousand bucks for the one with the built in altimeter that gives you the exact same information printed on the trail map? So cool, wow so we really did go up the mountain and then back down, who could have known. Oh my god it even remembers where we parked the car?

        It’s what got me my POTS diagnosis. No doctor would even listen to me unless I brought in my own data (60bpm lying, 80 sitting, 110 standing, 130 walking). Obviously I shouldn’t have to pay $500 just to do their job like that, but it changed my life for the better, personally. Now I have medications that help

        The main thing I use mine for is being able to check notifications without having to grab my phone. I already enjoy wearing a watch, so the time, date, temperature and any other bonus info I want can be there too.

        That’s about where it stops though. It should be a mostly passive device. I don’t think the design of fiddling with buttons and talking to it are reasonable. It should tell you information, not take it.
