Although you'd have to be somewhere pretty private to be able to want to. </p> <p>@aprild: How far does your bluetooth stay connected with it? Or do you carry your phone on you as well during workouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one/page/2#post-2461170 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 08:03:56 +0000 cat620 2461170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one when it was on sale for $250. I actually really like it! I can read text messages on it, read emails, see my calendar and get other notifications. It's actually really useful when I workout, because it tracks steps, my heartrate, and how many calories I burn. And because I get text messages, my husband can reach me if there's an emergency (since he watches our kids), and I don't have to worry about checking my phone during my workout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one/page/2#post-2461150 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 03:10:03 +0000 808love 2461150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently $180 was my bargain price that pushed me over the edge. I got a used one. I am a self proclaimed techie on a budget though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2386294 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 01:42:24 +0000 birdofafeather 2386294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If anything, I'm trying to figure out more boundaries for technology and being less glued to my phone/devices. So I don't want one of these. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2384427 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:56:29 +0000 Sophs Mama 2384427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted never because I don't have an iPhone, nor will I ever have one again. I am getting a Pebble Time Round for my birthday this year, and I'm so excited about it. You can reply to texts using a built in microphone! Also, it's white and rose gold. So pretty! My husband was a baker for the original Pebble kickstarter and he still wears and loves his. </p> [attach=2863/15/nz5re5.600x358.timeround2.jpg] [attach=2863/15/nz5re6.580x318.pebble_time_round_rose-gold_14mm-100616441-large.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383783 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 08:44:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2383783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: Thats kinda my dilemma too. I have worn my current watch every day for over 5 years so even though it was expensive I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. My concern is though will the technology and/or durability of the apple watch keep up and last even say 2 years. </p> <p>@jill_a55: I try not to get the first model of anything because they do improve. So I will probably will have to at least wait until the next model is out and then wait for that to come down in price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383683 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 05:30:27 +0000 bloved 2383683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As of right now I would never want one. But I also remember when I was hosting Japanese exchange students in college and they had cameras on their phones (it was before we had them here) and thinking why would I ever need that? And I remember thinking texting was silly too when it first started now those are the two things I used my phone for most! So I feel like some day the watch could be like that and I will wonder how I ever thought it was useless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383670 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 02:27:40 +0000 erinpye 2383670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: that's the one I want</p> <p>I have the sport, bought it right when it came out, have never been a watch person, and love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383632 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 23:01:57 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2383632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want one, but my husband wants one. Unfortunately, he has every other Apple product out there...and we definitely don't have the cash for a new watch right now. If they were around $100, I might try to surprise him with it. $250 is a lot for a gadget that he might not even use (though, as far as 'nice' watches that he likes go, $250 is reasonable...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383621 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 22:41:08 +0000 Ra 2383621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no interest.

Of course it went down to $100 a month or two later. He uses his watch daily, and it helps him be more productive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383277 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:51:21 +0000 HLK208 2383277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no use for one so, never!

I love that it vibrates and tells me who's calling (if my phone is nearby) and I can decide if I want to answer. It will even tell me when my mom is trying to facetime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383259 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:39:55 +0000 jill_a55 2383259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I think they are cool and worth it, but my brother is in the tech world and said that he would wait because a new one is coming out soon.... I would be bummed to get this one and have a new one come out in a few months that had improved features, etc.... Or if anything, the current one would probably drop in price even more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383255 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:38:01 +0000 looch 2383255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: Well yeah! I mean, look at it this way, 20 years ago we never thought we'd have phones where we could check our email.</p> <p>Eventually, you won't even need your phone to answer a call. You just would use the watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383250 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:35:22 +0000 pinkcupcake 2383250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think pulling my phone out to look at it is a big deal. I don't need to be so connected that I need to skip the step of looking at my phone. Would never want one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383244 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:27:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2383244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: Agree, I think it will be a thing of the past eventually, like Why are you pulling your phone out of your bag instead of looking at your watch. </p> <p>Ive almost dropped my phone many times when trying to juggle it with the kids. I think having something wearable would be convenient instead of having to hold it or dig for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383241 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:24:17 +0000 DillonLion 2383241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not an Apple fan, so that's why I would never get one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383236 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:21:35 +0000 psw27 2383236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not remotely interested in getting one... and I don't wear watches... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383231 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:14:42 +0000 ShootingStar 2383231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Apple and I love techie gadgets and I'm kinda meh on the Apple watch. I don't think it adds a ton of value, and I think the interface is tough to use. Maybe $100 if I could find a use for it? Not sure how worth it is to me to see my text messages/emails on my watch instead of on my phone, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-watches-250-when-would-you-get-one#post-2383229 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:11:59 +0000 Raindrop 2383229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually want one! </p> <p>The reason is that it pairs with the iPhone. I just got the 6 and that thing is huge! Too big to fit in my pocket like the 5 did comfortably. So now I have to store it in my purse. It’s kind of cumbersome to get it out of my purse every time I want to look at the time … and I have missed texts and phone calls b/c it’s in my purse and not in my pocket anymore. I know the watch will tell me the time and let me know when I get text and phone calls on my wrist.</p> <p>I think this was a savvy thing Apple made because now that their phones are getting bigger and bigger they made something small and more reachable if you had to store the big phone in your purse or massager bag (for guys).</p> <p>Though I feel like it is too pricey now… even at 250 … but at 100 dollars or less I would consider getting it. </p>
