• I guess the big dog watch companies should wake up to smart watches

    I borrowed a Tag smart watch for a few months a few years back. They're really quite good as smart watches but not a patch on an Apple Watch or even a Garmin Epix. Probably about the same in terms of usability as a Samsung Galaxy smart watch. The problem is, why on earth would anybody spend £2k on a smart watch when you can get the same/better for a fraction of the price?

    I suppose what I'm trying to say is that the Tag smart watch would be a good proposition at £500 to £800 tops, not the £2k they are asking for it. I'd go for one of the titanium Epix every time.

  • do you even watch, bro?

    Your argument for not dropping £2k on a spendier smart watch is basically saying "why buy an auto when a quartz does it better, for cheaper?".

    A £20 Casio keeps better time and has more functions than a £20k Rolex

    edit: that was meant to be more 'wink-wink' in on the joke, but re-reading it it may come over a little antagonistic.

  • The problem with four-figure smartwatches is they depreciate like mad and are fully obsolete within five years. That's why they make no sense (as much as Apple would like us to buy a new £1000 phone every 24 months).

    Buy a Rolex and in five years it's worth at least what you paid.
