I don’t expect much sympathy from you lot.

But, I couldn’t help myself. Fantastic classy looking, easy to get on with and then suddenly right in front of me and in a moment of weakness I succumbed immediately, without a thought for the consequences.

I’m not even sure I need a smartwatch TBH, but it is black friday after all, and it was a decent deal. But now my faithful Seiko is looking up at me, sad, forlorn with a trembling tear in the date window.

Oh what have I done… 😐

It’s a tear of laughter. Watch so smart it has to be charged every day, thinks Seiko.

classy looking

You need to check the URL address you linked, must be a different watch.

You want to get yourself some bangin’ shades to go with it

Made a decision and acted upon it? 😉

Most disappointing title/content ratio ever.

I agree with Jakester. This promised so much yet delivered so little. 😡

Meet Kryton57.
He’s hot.

He needs to stop wearing a vest then

Huawei? Hmmm. Nothing like a bit of APT on your wrist.

Mans not hot

No Altimeter?

Being cross-promoted with Under Armour stuff on my Amazon. They know the wealthy crossfit triathlete market well.

My mechanical watch might not be smart, but at least it doesn’t spy on the conversations I have or come with built in backdoors for the Chinese.

Are you in the military?

Also what will the neighbours think?

APT?

Thats a pre leather satchel pic, tsk…

I’ve got the original Huawei Watch (coincidentally from last year’s BF sales). Couple of annoying niggles but on the whole it’s been great.

Never seen someone who needs Buddhism so much.

I did read some reviews – second only to the LG sport apparently, and then the LG sport gets slated for its size and battery issues.

I think the “classic” I linked to – and purchased – looks quite smart.

Just need to find a use for it other than telling the time 🙁 The one thing I have thought of is the Google maps directions – as I travel I quite often end up wandering around holding my phone in front of my face looking for hotels or conference locations.

I’ve just checked your logs on the Red Army servers and they’re very happy with the data it has collected, worked flawlessly 😉

Oh well, CCR are your friend, and then you’ll have had the attention for free.

Bargin.

Sorry, but at Kryton57’s expense this is one of the funniest comments I’ve seen on here in a very looooong time.

Awesome.

Which Seiko? I might be interested in catching it on the rebound

Don’t get me wrong I’m laughing alongside so, but one of the reasons for this was encouragement from Mrs K, as other than essential items for bike repair / attrition, I haven’t bought anything for myself all year (well apart from the Charge SSCX). I’ve worked very hard and theres cash in the family coffers as a result, she’s encouraged me to enjoy a bit of it.

A fine comment from a man with obvious shoes…

To be fair, it does look slightly less shit than a G-Shock.

Can’t have done, he didn’t seek approval on here first. 🙄

Can’t you use route planning and plug in an earbud?

Although I’m not sure which will be up for sale until I had a play with the new one 🙂

Let me know, I’m happy to give it the love it deserves (probably)

That looks like a fabulous way to add just a little more frustration into daily life.

My smart watch thoughts exactly. I still have another watch which is just a watch, but having spent quite a while now quitening my head, this could be an issue. Although, it does have “watch only” mode 🙂

What’s the point of spending £250 on a classy ahem smart watch if you have absolutely no use for it?

Seems daft, send it back.

Ugly, expensive and pointless.

I feel like I’m being mean wrting that but you didn’t have to post on here about your purchase – so I feel it’s fair game. 8)

ah but which version of Buddhism, I can’t decide, help me

Well done Kryton,your faffing around for months is legend.

I don’t think the Stoics are the boys for you.

Kryton57 you post on a forum about a watch you’ve bought, saying ‘what have I done’, you then post quotes about opinions that have been given.

If you don’t want opinions, don’t post on a forum.

I’m not worried about the opinions Gary, nor am I asking advice on this thread. They are just opinions. Its my life and my money I’ll enjoy it how I like, as long as its not causing harm to anyone.

I’ve had a good education – and more to come – about the Stoics, and have been practising a fair bit. They did believe very much in improving their lives, but I’m now following one of their basics, despite potential improvement having a strong think about what its means to be losing my Seiko. 🙂

You do realise this thread isn’t a genuine worry but a Friday afternoon quip, don’t you?
