OT: Anyone plan on getting an Apple Watch?

[Chuck]

Dude, how do you fail to mention blackberry?

I was a HUGE Blackberry fan. Held on for a long time and gave up with the Motorola Droid 2 because iphone wasn't on Verizon. I still think my Blackberry Bold on AT&T was one of the best devices I've ever had. I know a few people that have gone back to BBerry for their work device.

I had a Blackberry Torch - it was...not good.

I kept it for a short time and then bailed to a Blackberry knock-off from Samsung. (Blackjack?)

Someone who works for me has the new gigantic Blackberry pop-tart looking phone and loves it.

I have 7 high end watches but now you guys make me feel so dated. When I think about it I rarely check the time on my wrist. Got clocks all around, in cars, walls, cable box, etc.

Perhaps a smartwatch may make my wrist functional again.

Can we call Andre Drummond on one?

Would Clyde V have done a better job with the Bigs?

Not unless he can suddenly do brain transplants. Better chance Marty Feldman could help this front line!

I was kidding of course but I do use a blackberry Q10. Its very good but I also has some of the earlier ones that were pretty bad. The storm was horrible. I can't decide if the poptart or the classic will be my next phone. It may depend on whether Verizon gets the poptart.

I am still using my original Bold.

I am still using my original Bold.

I am also an '88 with a non-UConn '94, so the Blackberry thing may have something to do with age.

I loved Blackberry for email and security but after holding for a long time, I got an iPhone about 4 years ago. It is so much better than a Blackberry in daily life that there is really no contest. However, I'd love an iPhone with a push button Qwerty keyboard. I could type faster on that than I could on a computer with full punctuation and all.

I just tend to use things until they die. Our Honda Odyssey has more than 225,000 miles on it. I have an iPod classic with some 25,000 songs on it and I fear the day that dies because they don't make that or anything with that capacity any more.

My wife and daughters all have iPhones, we have an iPad and an iMac so there are plenty of web surfing and app options. The vast majority of my phone use is for e-mail, texting and, you know, speaking on the phone.

I'm curious about the watch because I've been eying the various fitness trackers but I doubt this will be the one for me.

And I am very curious to know which nice watch(es) nomar wears with his suits.

The 360 is the first generation and can't answer a phone call.

It can answer but not speak/hear. First generation Motorola but there were other versions out there for a year.

If an Apple Watch gave me fair warning of an impeding heart attack or stroke or could tell me if my wife was in a bad mood before I enter the house, then yeah, I'd consider it. Until then, my smartphone covers everything I need.

What's involved in answering a phone call without speaking or hearing?
