My mother-in-law bought both my wife and myself an Apple Watch for Christmas. I was pretty surprised, as this is not something I would have ever considered buying for myself. At first I was really skeptical, but seeing how excited she was to give it to me, I knew returning it wasn't an option.

After messing around with it for a couple of weeks....I can admit that I kind of like it. I wore a Fitbit prior to this, and I've gotten to the point now I'm using the Apple Watch entirely in its place. It's fitness tracker far exceeds the Fitbit, imo. I don't sleep in it, but I didn't wear my Fitbit at night either. I rarely use the phone feature, because I still feel like you look like a complete douche talking into your watch. I have had a couple of instances where my phone was in my truck or whatever, and I took a quick call. It worked great. Texts work well also. Overall, id have to say that I have become a fan.

Curious if any others out there use one as well, and what the overall opinions are?? Do tell....

opie, are you a 15 year old girl, pal???

Why? Is that the general consensus of Apple Watch wearers?

This is a serious discussion, Nino.

P.S. Enjoy another infraction, motherfukker. Well on your way to a cool down period.

I once had a watch back in the early 90s when I didn't carry a cell phone that told me the time.

[Booya711]

I don't have one but I don't know anyone that dislikes them...plus yours was free so that's a plus

I don't like wearing watches personally

[Iwinyourmoney]

Bought it on day 1 and love it.
Love that I can set push alerts for scores and don't have to keep pulling out my phone to check stuff

If one of my buddies was wearing an apple watch, I'd slap the shit out of him. You need a watch that tells time and is a phone because your phone doesn't do that? Seems repetitive and another lame invention that apple is using to bilk you out of cash in lieu of creativity. RIP Steve Jobs

Opie how many calories do you burn masturbating

[brainfreeze]

I actually like it, thought it might just be something I wear for the first two weeks, then gets old... but no, I still put it on, I just like the clock faces, and Fitbit aspect... and a few cool features, like pinging your phone if it's not in your immediate sight, or answering your phone from the watch, which can be useful if your driving and stuff like that.. Overall, good... I didn't get it new either tho, bought it on eBay slightly used for half the price.. It's been rolling strong for months now, cheers..

Ummmm.... Opie, just wearing an Apple watch makes you look like a complete douche.

But if you are happy with it then who cares what people think of you.

[Russian Rocket]

Opie, Apple Watch is a very Metrosexual accessory to have.

Do I like the technology behind it? Yes, I do - I think it's fantastic!...Would I wear something like this on the regular basis? Probably not....unless you live in the Silicon Valley and say work for Apple in Cupertino.

[gauchojake]

Opie do you check scores on your apple watch while getting your tips frosted?

[FlipsideRM]

My 15 year old brother just got one for his birthday. Waste of $ and tiny screen, absolutely pointless if you already have an iPhone. Id rather have a nice watch on my wrist

[adila1401]

I always assume the person to be a douche rocking one of those things, no offence. Never used one so can't justify my stereotyping..

[chico2663]

i always wore taghauer even before tiger. the guys that wear apple are people that were the band geeks. not saying you opie because you get it.But let me phrase it this way; I wouldn't want a apple wearing guy having my back in a bar fight.

[FlipsideRM]

Opie where do you do your tanning?

I don't disagree with any of these comments.(except for Gaucho's hateful comment, for which he's been infracted)

I do have a nice Rolex that I wear whenever dressing up is needed, but I had gotten to the point that I was wearing my Fitbit regularly, and this has simply replaced it. In regards to caring what others think, I'm way too old for that to be an issue. I was just wanting some feedback on others opinions. Mainly because I'm shocked that I've actually gotten to like the fukkin thing.

[newguy]

Always had same thoughts as others but it's interesting that everyone who bad mouthed it here (from what I can tell) never owned it, just thinks your a douche for wearing it. I sort of feel that way too but the more I read about it the more I like it. Plus everyone who checked in here w it loved it.

I travel a lot and know guys can have their boarding passes on there. The score thing is awesome. Love my Fitbit so that's interesting. I think in the next few years they will become more mainstream and you will see a lot more people adopting them.

Lmfao, basically

[Russian Rocket]

Opie did you know that when the Apple Watch is in a known Wi-Fi hotspot it can perform the most essential online functions even when your phone is unavailable? It can query Siri, for example, send and receive texts, and send/receive drawings and tap patterns to other watch owners. Making and receiving phone calls on the Watch without an iPhone isn’t a possibility because this feature actually routes calls through your iPhone’s cellular network...but you can do basic shit without your iPhone.

Opie don't bullsh#$ us pal. You got excited acting like David Hasselhoff and sh#$ talking to Kitt.

I stole Opie's Rolex when I was in town for the Eagles / Cowboys game

Yes, I've done all of the above. I actually use Siri on it quite a bit. I'll tell her to set an alarm at a certain time to remind me of something, and when that time comes, it pulses on my wrist to alert me. It's killer.

OMG

Opie a tech geek

Kid buys what he wants

[FlipsideRM]

Jj you would look fresh with an Apple Watch on your wrist man

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Dwight, you should upgrade to the latest version.

Stop living in 2015, pal.

[jjgold]

Opie how old are you man??

[opie1988]

Opie how old are you man??

[jjgold]

Thanks Les

Put a stainless band on mine and get more compliments on it than I do on the Tag Carrera. My automatics stay in the winder more than I wear them since I bought it.

[lakerboy]

Real men don't wear watches.
