Johnathan Sessoms Posted April 26, 2015 Report Posted April 26, 2015 For those of you getting upset or whatever, watch the video. It's obviously a joke. It's humor for your enjoyment. You're welcome. Anyone planning on getting one of these things? I'd check out this video before doing so. Seriously, watch it until the end to really get a grasp on the awesome technology that Apple is introducing into the tech realm. Mind = Blown! Quote
stevegrider Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Do we really need a remote control for a device we hold in our hand? Quote
rcoronado Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 the thing LOOKs like it has the potential to house a killer app, but I don't know what that app would be at the moment. Quote
johnpaul215 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 This will be funny thread in a few years. It's one thing if it brings no value to you, but for the people that call it "a terrible failure" sound like the same initial reports about iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad etc. This watch sold more units in a few days than every other "smart wearable" combined, and it's a device that's relatively easy to develop for. With that many units in the wild, there's incentive to make apps run on it. That may be what brings the value to a lot of people. Time will tell. Quote
Rachel Cameron Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 True..but for now, the packaging is no less than amazing technology. Quote
Angelo Waldron Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I vote to pull this thread down off JWsound. Really annoying to watch this. Makes me think we need another WW so boys will grow up and be men. Quote
rcoronado Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 i mean, simple start, stop pause transport controls for recorders would be useful on the wrist. I was sprinting all over the damn racetrack doing my porsche record for echo collective. If you've got multiple recorders up and distributed throughout a set, that could be super handy. maybe some sort of wireless xmitter display that shows freq, signal strength and battery power would be cool. how about a mic mounted camera that a boom op could glance up at and see a live feed from? or for that matter how about a feed from the main cams? what if you had a distributed metronome app keeping live performers on a "click" using the haptic taps? how about cueing actors using haptic taps? you could even just strap the watch around the ankle if you didn't want to see it in the shot. how about cueing EVERYTHING using taps? no more directors shouting "action!" ok, now i'm getting nutty.

Johnathan Sessoms Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Posted April 27, 2015 Angelo, "General Discussion - Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board". Also,I think you're the only one to actually watch the video so far. For the rest of you, you're missing out. It's a stellar video. Quote
Angelo Waldron Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Wasted 4 minutes of my time. Why spread this shit? Quote
ao Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I would buy an apple watch, or another watch, that could function as an accurate timecode device Quote
Johnathan Sessoms Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 Gosh....Leave the negativity in the camera forums. Feel free not to share it. Although, I do appreciate all criticism though, so thank you for your input. Quote
Christian Spaeth Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I can think of many cool apps for the Applewatch. But since the screen real estate is quite small, an additional, larger screen would be needed (like Nomad Touch). So, combining the Apple Watch with another device with say a 4 inch or so screen would result in a killer setup. Wait a minute... There already is such a larger device? Quote
audiofp Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 So far 5 tracks at 48/24 running on mine. Looking for a stereo XLR-inductive charging cable. Any ideas anyone? Quote
Ze Frias Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Jimmy Fallon talks about pros and cons to buying the Apple Watch: Also, they make good mention of monster cables Quote
Glen Deakin Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 It apparently drains the phone battery quicker with the constant Bluetooth connection. Quote
Todd Weaver Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Jimmy Fallon talks about pros and cons to buying the Apple Watch: Also, they make good mention of monster cables Is it just me, or is Jimmy Fallon not even anywhere close to being funny? Quote
Angelo Waldron Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 Agreed.. not funny. Jimmy Fallon billed as a comedy show.. and it is boring. David Letterman billed as an entertainment show.....and it's almost boring. Quote
Glen Deakin Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 It might only be funny if you are high, stoned or drunk. Quote
Johnathan Sessoms Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 I like Jimmy Fallon, but it wasn't as funny as the original video posted. Quote
hobbiesodd Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Best use of the Apple Watch I've seen yet: Our PA/Driver was texted the address to a new location and it showed up on her watch. No digging around for her phone or careless texting while driving. Quote
johnpaul215 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 one feature of the Apple Watch is that it periodically checks your heart rate through the day. it presumes you are exercising when you're elevated above your averages, even if you don't put it in a specific activity mode (biking, rowing, running etc). I often wore a HRM when i was running (i used to do marathons), but never all day. With my Apple watch, i have gotten notifications that i hit my "30 minutes a day" of exercise when all I did was sit at a cart and mix. It doesn't know what I'm doing, but it reads higher than normal BPM. I had a feeling I was on a stressful job, but this confirmed it in ways i didn't expect. I've had the watch for a few months now, and this is the first time I really noticed that. Quote
