I thought the idea was cool, but figured anything I can do on them, I can also do on my phone which is always going to be a few feet away at most with a much bigger screen. I decided it would be a toy that would cost a couple of hundred dollars and I'd play with the first few weeks and then eventually quit using so I decided against it.
    I just don't see them being anything more than a fad for the reason you gave.

    These days, I'm just not into gadgets. I'm 63, and I've owned plenty, but in retrospect, very few have really been important. These days, I see most tech toys as distractions and annoyances.
    Yes, Mr. Death... I'll play you a game! But not CHESS !!! BAH... FOOEY! My game is...

    Not to mention, by having a watch now there are two things to keep track of instead of just one. Plus carrying around a phone and watch -- seems like you might as well wave a flag saying, "Hey, I have a lot of cool expensive stuff. Please come and mug me and steal it all!" I mean, phone + watch,... you're talking almost $1000 of stuff to carry around.

    I do want the watch but I'm fine to sit back and let this play out and see how it all goes.

    Don't get me wrong, had my wife just went out and bought me the Samsung watch for my birthday I would have used it and possibly even loved it. But because I had the chance to think about it, research it, etc. I talked myself out of it.

    Now I have a pair of RC helicopters and a some new IP cameras hanging of the side of my house instead

    Nice!

    But yeah, I keep doing that to myself too. There will be a really cool electronic thing I want, then my mind comes to the conclusion that I don't really need it and then I just don't get it.

    To be totally honest, I have a Kindle, and I got them for my daughters as well. I love it. I would sooner cut off Joopster's dick than part with my Kindle.

    I assume the Kindle is toast by now, after that statement.

    Point taken, but no, it remains the best gadget I own. Wife got a Fire HDX 7 for her birthday last year. We are set up so that we can share books across all 4 devices, which is very nice. Anytime I get the urge to read some Paranormal Porn, I don't need to buy it, I can just read any of a couple of hundred titles that Elder Child has downloaded.
