CNET Top 5 - Reasons not to buy an Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is a tempting wearable, but there are many reasons to stay away.

[Forgan_Mreeman]

in the tech world, NEVER get the first generation of anything.

1. I have money
2. I have an iPhone
3. Just a dumb argument...its a SMART watch.
4. I wear a watch everyday so this will be even better.
5. I want it now!

So you haven't convinced me sir.

[ryanmiller]

This video is terrible.

5) $350 is a lot?! Have you not seen the price of other smart watches.

4) iPhone only? What about Android products only working with Android products?

3) Battery is built in, but can be replaced like a built in battery in an iPhone or any electronic device with a built in battery.

2) The watch is an extension to your phone. Can leave in pocket or close by when you work out, or are driving.

1) Apple comes out with a new product every year or two?! How dare they! It's not like TVs, Cars, and Computer companies don't come out with new better version of previous model.

1.) All Apple Stuff are expensive - just like a BMW or a Mercedes!  DuH!
2.) Apple Design their hardware and software for their Eco / Environment and no one else's!  Are you new to this game?
3.) WE DO NOT Want to switch to Android!  Get it?  DuH
4.) All the new devices that we use in 21st Century need Batteries and batteries need charging!  Are you an idiot?  Who wants to use an OLD DUMB Watch?  5-10 years of use for one watch is quite enough for most people on the planet!  I get the Apple watch and you get the damn Cassio!  How is that?  Suits me fine!  lOlz
5) The first and only thing that you said that made sense!  There will be an Apple Watch 2 and it will be better.  Most Apple Users will buy that one too and sell the first version to people like you.

I know he wasnt really hating on it but i dont see why the APPLE watch being only for iPhones is such a big deal. the Samsung Gear watches are only for Samsung phone and people mention it but dont put so much hate on it. I see no one saying Samsung is MAKING you leave your iPhone and switch to not only android but to a Samsung phone. Its whatever though doesnt get me mad. just irritates me.

[Vape_Master]

I'm wearing mine right now and it feels so good as it touches against my skin.

5. [Expensive] I am a teenager with a job and not much else to buy with my money (plus I am a massive tech geek and would buy one even if it would just sit on my shelf and collect dust.
4. [IPhone Only] Yes it only corresponds with an IPhone 5 or later but I already own a 5C.
3. [Battery] Fair point but do you really think I am going to use it for 5-10 years consistently.
2. [Phone] Yes I already have a phone that can do it all BUT I find that it would be easier to get access to than my phone in my pocket when walking home from school. I have an average of 3-5 really heavy bags that limit my movement. I find it would be easier to just lift up my arm (since this can be one of the times I use my phone most).
1. [Apple Watch 2] Again fair point but unfortunately we do not know how long it will be until this is released and if it (like the xbox one) has some screw ups, it may not have the highly anticipated launch, previously hypothesized.
Sorry but I want that watch.

[TaylorSwifty]

Still camping outside Best Buy to get it before all you nerds! get shrecked

[DjFrexira]

I'm pretty sure Android watches don't work with Apple. It's not only Apple who is holding people from switching.

[sibertater]

I just got mine about 2 hours ago. Suck it! I'm living in the future, nerd!

[huntersmith]

You should buy an Apple Watch because this guy has no idea what he is talking about

[RikcAvlog]

I love apple but I agree with the list

[MrMiniman]

The only thing I dislike is the 350 price tag for the "cheapest" model... that... is... ridiculous

[kooshmeen]

Don't buy water because one day, water 2 will come out...
...your logic... just...

[Roun]

Do you want to know 5 reasons about cnet :

1st ....I'd like to know what's your problem ( apple haters )

2nd....do you prefer droid lag ?

3rd .... I think you're unhappy with your own life...go fishing !

4rd.... If you don't know, android smart watches doesn't work with iOS devices....so it's normal that the iwatch don't work with android ! 🙉

5th...do you want to know what is really expensive ? Expensive is the time that I waste to watch your videos

Conclusion .... -1 subscriber !

Counter Argument




5. Price is a personal preference, if you really like it, spend the money. I know I did. plus its the "new thing" no duh its gonna cost a lot

4. Most people have an iPhone, only real apple fans are gonna buy this and every android user hates apple and inst gonna buy it

3. Battery life is frickin awesome on the watch. Most days of using it when I plug it in, its at 30% from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM

2. I use my phone less and less with my watch, it doesn't bounce around when I run and I use it for fitness, playing games when I'm in class and no one notices

Dumba$$ good reason with total sarcasm. No one thinks I'm a nerd, the all love it and I get tons of recognition all positive. google glass looks dumb as hell where an apple watch isn't placed on a crazy part of your body that looks dumb

1. The apple watch 2 is a good reason to stay away but, after that there will be an apple watch 3 and 4 and 5. And apple never announced an apple watch 2 at their event. (Not saying they wont at their next one)

[mlawren]

It's like wearing a big tag around your wrist that says "I am a shallow, insecure douche-bag who can't make adult decisions."

[umarahmad]

It didn't mention how your phone does all the things an Apple Watch does and more

[teamdapose]

Does google or Samsung pay Cnet or something.. I haven't heard anything good about Apple from them as of late. I get it some people dislike Apple but really

[RyanFrizey]

I think he's just listed 5 reasons not to buy a Smartwatch in general. Be it Samsung, Motorola, or Apple.
