Yeah I’ve got an iPhone, my phone contract is up for renewal at the beginning of June so I’m getting the 11 in a few weeks. It did seem a bit steep getting the 4G enabled one for not much more benefit but wondered if I was missing something. 
 

I’m in no rush to get one so might wait for the 6 myself. 

Yeah, it’s a very well rounded device now. By the 6th one, it’s going to be pretty much banging. That said, I’m worried the second I put it on it’s going to go absolutely fucking bananas at me. Warning lights flashing all over the place.

Have Apple stopped 'allegedly' slowing down their phones and watches?

Never slowed down their watches, as far as I know. They admitted to slowing down their phones once the battery started to degrade, and put that as an option rather than a... cough... feature. The shitheads.

I’m pretty much clinically dead so I’m assuming mine will call a paramedic the second I put it on.

Mental health warnings... I just hope it doesn’t come with an inflatable straight jacket that explodes out of the side of the cunt.

Thinking of getting a smart watch for my birthday. Probably looking to spend £100-£200. Was looking at the newer Apple watches but not sure I can justify the price of them. 
 

What’s my best bet? Garmin? Fitbit? You can get an Apple series 3 watch for £195 but I think a more up to date one from another brand might be the best bet. 

 

I bought the Huawei GT 2 Smart watch and I'm more than happy with it. Only cost 179€. Obviously not as good as an Apple but I'd rather spend the extra cash in other areas and the GT 2 has everything I need in a smart watch and looks smart as fuck.

Do you have the 4G enabled one or just the standard one? It seems about £100 more for the 4G one plus you have to pay a monthly fee, is it worth it or just stick with the basic £399 one?

I didn't bother with the cellular one and I can't really see the need for it tbh. If i'm upstairs and my phone rings I can answer it on my watch and have a chat via it's speaker if I can't be arsed going to get my phone, or just do that until I get downstairs to my phone.

 

I can't see how I'd want to use it as an actual phone on a regular basis.

Got £4,800 to spend?

Bought Turdsette a cheap Huawei band as a little extra birthday present last week and our 12 year old was so jealous of it she decided she wanted to flog the Versa Lite she got given for her own birthday this year (joint present from in-laws & two aunties) and buy the same band as her little sister. 
 

My Father’s Day request was going to be for an everyday watch anyway so I’ve just decided to give my little girl the going rate for the second hand Fitbit, keep it for myself and order a couple of woven straps. A smart watch hadn’t even crossed my mind before but I factory reset it earlier, signed up and have been messing about with it for the last hour or so. Have to say I like it. I’ll have to buy a couple more different straps for different watch faces/occasions.

What's the Huawei one like for your daughter? Thinking of getting my daughter a smart watch for Christmas but don't want to pay too much nor buy something too cheap and shit.

It’s cheap and shit. She wanted a scooter so it was just one of her little extra presents on top.

I thought it would be a good idea because she was jealous of her older sister’s Fitbit but kids are fickle beasts and apparently the ‘find my phone’ feature on the Huawei trumps all the superior features of the Fitbit.

I don’t know if it’s shit, to be honest. It gets good reviews and I’ve got a 7 year old and a 12 year old that seem pretty happy with it. Obviously if it’s your girl’s main present you’ll want to spend a bit more on something better.

I'm getting her a laptop as her main present. Just want something cheap and nasty to supplement it.

Supplementing a laptop as a present? If you ever break up I'll be your girlfriend.

Really enjoying the whole business of getting notifications on the watch. It’s even synced with LiveScore and the Smarkets betting exchange I use. Different straps depending on what t-shirt I’m wearing and changing the watch face to match also. 
 

I think I’m turning gay.

I’ll forward you one of @Bjornebye’s. Put it on the end of a fishing rod and you’ll be catching fish all day long.

Got it a few days ago and it's pretty fucking good. Sorry I waited so long before getting one now.

Yeah, they’re really good. You don’t need to be an Apple fanboy to like it either. It’s just really good.
