re: So I bought my dad an Apple Watch for Christmas.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Christmas reefer

I feel like it'd be annoying to have to charge your watch every day. I already have to charge my phone daily.

This too.

My coworker has an android watch he just places on a power mat at night which is cool.

I like mine. It's very useful for business and pretty diverse as it matches with everything that I wear. I just wish it was waterproof

I have one and really like it. I have a lot of conference calls I have to be on so it's nice to be able to glance at a watch and see what I have coming up on the calendar. Also, talk to text is really nice along with text responses you can preprogram. Someone sends you a text you really only need to say "ok" or "yes/no" or "cool" to you can click reply, that response, and never take out your phone.
Voice calls are pretty convenient if your hands are ever full or your phone is in the other room. Wouldn't use it for an extended conversation or anything but it does come in handy.
For people who exercise often or really just want to be more aware of their activity, those sensors/tracking are really cool to have.
And the charging thing is pretty overblown to me. I have a little charging station on my nightstand i take it off and put on every night. I mean unless you sleep with a normal watch on and never take it off, it's the exact same as that.


All that said, is it something everyone has to have? No. But for folks where the $$ isn't a huge issue, it's something that can give a ton of convenience.

why do I need to prove anything to you?
