YOu're dealing in lottery ticket type situations. Yet acting otherwise.
So would you apply this same logic to a smartphone? We didn't have them when I was a teenager but everybody has them now and not everybody needs to call the emergency services. 'Lottery ticket type situations' eh?
An over reliance on smartphones has caused plenty of deaths too, using them behind the wheel while driving or people walking out in front of vehicles while distracted on their commute etc.
That is only because less people wear smartwatches at this point. They are being worn by more and more people and if ever they become the norm like a smartphone, it'll just be a standard everyday feature.
Seriously. Phones can't detect things such as irregular/low heartbeat.
YOu're missing the pt. I'm sure you'll be using the crash detection any day now.
Honestly it does feel like you're just making these comments for a reaction or to argue.
nonsense. the point is the health benefits are being overvalued by some by a country mile.
Ehh, hard to think you're not just trolling now, especially as nobody has said it's "risky" to not wear one, just that it provides benefits.nonsense. the point is your'e overvaluing the health benefits by a country mile.
while very likely engaging in other 'riskier' behavior than not wearing a Watch.
YOu don't understand the scale and odds involved. Thus you think it's trolling. YOu also don't understand how risky and beneficial are related. STay in school.
Your arguments don’t make any sense at all, it’s like saying seat belt and/or airbags are like the lottery …
seat belts/airbags are in a different ball park in terms of effectiveness at scale.
Maybe he never owned watches because he wears stolen ones and is still not jailed, hence free 😀
what risky behavior would people be more likely to engage in from wearing a watch? Smartphones and headphones, I understand -- they cause people to not pay as much attention to their surroundings, and thus more likely to cause accidents. But I never thought wearing watches could lead to more dangerous behavior.Meanwhile the same folks are very likely engaging in 'riskier' behavior than not wearing a Watch.
Not sure about how often Apple watch warns people of possible heart problems, but with crash detection, well, Apple watch enhances the protection provided by seat belts/airbags by calling emergency services for you when a crash happens. So if you think having seat belts/airbags is prudent even if most people never get into the kind of accidents where they actually become necessary, then the watch's crash detection is also useful at that same rate.
I wouldn't either, but it wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea. "Rare" events happen to someone every day. Fall detection is a personal example, I'm not one who'd consider myself at risk of needing it, but I took a fall at night one winter in freezing weather, hit my head hard against pavement and came to with the fall detection shrieking at me. If that fall had been much harder, I probably would be a "my watch helped save my life" statistic, because the chances of someone randomly coming across me in a reasonable timeframe would have been miraculously slim.
Nah man I ain’t thug, better nothing than stolen.
Straps on the wrist limit bloodflow. I feel like I have mini-claustrophobia on my hand each time I try to wear watches😂 Also sorta scary to wear wifi and bluetooth device this close to my body, yeah yeah yeah you can call me a tinfoil hat but I still don’t wanna do that. For same reason – still don’t have any bt headphones from Apple. Had one JBL model tho which still works but I don’t use it, got it for free as a promotional gift
Exactly!! That's the main reason I got one. My wife died and it's just my dog and me. I have heart issues and if I had a heart attack in the middle of the night he'd be in big trouble. Set it so if my HR goes below 40 or above 160 it wakes me and if no response it automatically calls 911.
