Biggest Waste of Money, Luxury SmartWatches

Weren’t all mechanical watches outdated many years ago? A $20 Casio can do more than almost any luxury watch. None of this makes any sense and we’re all wasting money. 

Right? Most of us have multiple watches when one really is all we need. 

Well, there are different degrees of outdatedness, and sometimes older items retain more value. Case in point are chess computers: they are all obsolete in the sense that stockfish will obliterate them. Older chess computers from the 1980s retain a certain collectible value. Some chess computers from the early 2000s required you to connect to a now obsolete website to play, and are now a piece of junk.

Wow! So judgy…😏

smart watches...are not smart. 

Yes 

Cause mechanical watches don't need an update every 2 weeks, and smart watches look shite

I have an Apple Watch SE, not luxury lol, but I do have a complicated relationship with it. I don’t particularly enjoy the way it looks, but I find several functions very useful: Unlocking my Mac, wrist payments in stores and motivation for getting a daily walk in. I prefer to wear actual watches and I’m toying with the idea of double-wristing it. Ugh 😣 I don’t like the idea. If Apple made a watch-band that had Apple Pay and Mac unlock built in without the watch itself, I‘d be up for that. 

That’s good! They are even more perfect as luxury items than the original Hublot Big Bangs, because they are ephemeral. There’s something unpleasantly Protestant about a Rolex, you see. One might wear it for a lifetime, or buy it used, or simply purchase it affordably on the used market and enjoy it for a long time. It isn’t a perfect statement of immediate, current, present wealth. A Rolex or Omega might cost as much as a Ulysse Nardin, but how can one be sure that one just bought it for a large sum of cash on the barrelhead? It might be old, or refurbished! It isn’t a true luxury good unless it expires, the same way a trip to Spain expires, the same way a week in a five-star hotel expires. Only then is it completely unnecessary, totally flashy, utterly ephemeral.

I respect the Apple Watch and considering it's price it is value for money, but it looks so painfully bad and people flex them like they are made out of gold

bro, I don't understand your POV. time not effect to watch . because it's make for time.  🤣🤣

A smart watch will end up dumb watch in the end.😜
