I have an old Garmin (can't remember the number, but it's the $200 model) and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. I use the steps and heart rate constantly, and it's great for viewing texts while driving just to see who they're from without getting my phone out. And as a runner obviously there are huge benefits to the GPS. Highly recommend pulling the trigger if you're thinking about getting one but haven't, as I was for literally years lol.

Lol, nobody addressed the fact that these announces are just PR...

>Seriously Concerned

😂🤣 "It's so real we are concerned people will be addicted"

"It's so good, (buy it by the way) that users will lose their grip on reality"

"It's so ergonomic you forget about the pain and suffering of the children who made it" (said with the voice of pinhead from hellraiser... Because that's good ssssuffering)

This reminds me of the Rockstar bad news at the release of GTA1, where they paid or asked for it.

People laughed at every single first generation product Apple has made after the phone. iPad, Watch, HomePod and AppleTV

It’s not gonna be the final product. It never is. Like every other Apple product by third gen it will be 1st in class.

Bank on it

Apple’s big enough they don’t need the initial offering to be a smash.

No pun intended, but Apple is hip, they'll make it happen. You're not going to be cool, unless you knocking over little old ladies and giving kids concussions from your battle brick.

Then what? You going to walk around with battery grenade on your waist, and then China can easily pay us back for Tik Tok ... Tick Tock.

You and a Tesla would have one thing in common. You both would be able to burn rubber. :-)
