Yep, it is delayed but I would not have expected any different from a project like this they are never on schedule, it may have taken them longer to secure the correct number of orders and resources to stay production and sort out logistics.11-25-19 06:09 AMLike 0 - 11-25-19 06:28 AMLike 0

Indeed I dont need another thing that needs to be charged daily.
But most importantly, I am not going to replace a proper automatic mechanical watch for some piece of electronic plastic.11-27-19 01:29 PMLike 3 -
I love my mechanical watches. They are marvels of mechanical ingenuity. My Zenith el primero movement is made of over 175 parts oscillating at 36,000 VPH in perfect unison. I wouldn’t trade them for anything with a battery.11-27-19 04:28 PMLike 0 - Exactly. And they will last for many generations.
2 to 3 days still is kinda every day. Certainly in this context.11-28-19 02:30 PMLike 0 -

- Yup, now I wouldn't have done so for the F(x) Tec Pro 1 preferring to wait for actual reviews since that thing costs $699, but for the $239 early bird pricing I had to support the thing lol11-28-19 08:46 PMLike 0
- If the F(x) had cheap enough intro, you'd have bought it too... the early bird pricing sounds critical to any of these crowdfunded projects setting up some buyer protection.11-28-19 10:50 PMLike 0

But hey, different strokes and all that.
I have no doubt that in the next 5 years everyone here will need to have a smart watch, if not for productivity then for the Health aspect alone, some medical funds may set it as a requirement and some doctors may want you to use one so that they can have a Real-Time feed of how you are doing e.g. after a major procedure. People with existing heart problems or in a family that’s known for them will also need to invest in one. People who suffer from any sort of chronic illness, chronic pain etc.... or if you are just a health nut wanting to get precise measurements of your daily routine and calorie management.
Considering the advancements being made in wearables and more so Smart Watches, they are the next major area of growth of technology, particularly for the health, medical and security industries.
It goes further than just being some supposed plastic thingy that needs to be charged but rather a growing necessity that some will need to wear alongside their classic timepieces.
Then again this is like when GPS was new in phones and many claimed they didn’t need GPS in their phone....robnhl likes this.11-28-19 10:55 PMLike 1 - No idea, I am not connected to Unihertz so don’t know. Perhaps you should ask them. But as this is venture capital raised by them for a particular project I guess the money would be lost if they do not manage to deliver. So a pretty safe bet from the company’s perspective it seems.11-29-19 02:07 AMLike 0
- Considering the convenience, health and functionality one gets out of a smart watch? I’d say well worth it, and note that with an Apple Watch I have a whole lot of things activated e.g. Outlook, Nike Run Club for my daily run, along with Activity tracker to track my exercise and calorie burn , Wallet to manage my flight Boarding Passes, Uber, music controls etc... The fact that I get the battery life I get is great.

You would have to pay me more than $100,000 a year to get me to share that kind of data.

A the watch certainly does not improve any fitness or sport activity, it is just another monitor screen on things. But feel free to believe otherwise. If you need a health tracker to count activity or create health then, a well lets not get into that.
Obviously I am not sharing any health data with insurance companies. None of their business. I am really surprised people volunteer (for some in the end only temporarely discount) to join 1984.cyberdoggie likes this.11-29-19 01:21 PMLike 1 -

To me watches have one role (excluding complications of course), to tell time. Looking at my wrist does that very simply. No need to pull my phone out of my pocket or look around for a wall clock, it’s with me wherever I go. I love the simplicity.
As far as fashion accessory, of course! Isn’t our entire wardrobe a fashion accessory? Don’t you wear certain clothing because it makes you feel good? Mechanical watches serve both purposes extremely well.anon(10387168) likes this.11-30-19 07:11 AMLike 1 - You're definitely a tech optimist! Personally, I find the idea of sharing the kind of personal data you're talking about with your service providers is a non-starter. Wearable tech without much better regulatory protection for consumers is very unattractive. The marginal benefits you describe are not worth the privacy sacrifices.
