Look I think smartwatches are 100% gay, but it's one thing to wear it while out for a run, and another entirely to wear in in your office in front of your computer with a smartphone in your pocket or sitting on your desk. |
|
Date: May 24th, 2019 4:00 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe How about your smartphone in a bag or pocket and being able to discretely check messages on your watch instead of pulling it out in a meeting?
And again, since everyone has one I don't think the optics are an issue. |

Date: May 24th, 2019 4:09 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe I do, yes. Where I work the worst thing you can be is considered not tech savvy so everyone and their mother has a smartwatch. And everyone always upgrades to the latest one.
Also wearing fitness trackers 24/7 is pretty popular too. That doesn't look great but it signals that you're "active" and in corporate America that's a good thing too.
Wearing an expensive manual watch sends the worst signal possible. You're old-fashioned, low-tech and you're obviously overpaid. Given that the company is always looking to send people like this packing, it is probably the worst look to have. Showing up with some monochrome pebble or fitness tracker to an exec meeting is a better look than that.
If you work at some large law firm then standards are totally different. The most important currency is preftige. But in-house at megacorps that doesn't really matter much and certain checkbox personal traits are far more important. In some cases the prestige can be a negative ((s)he is only here because they have x credential, but they're a terrible fit = they should be shitcanned ASAP). |

Date: May 24th, 2019 4:16 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe I actually vastly prefer it to silly law firm prestige culture that promotes stupid shit like buying gaudy, expensive, useless things just to signal that you have money (you don't anymore, you wasted it on whatever expensive stupid thing but it keeps you working there to "maintain that lifestyle"). Forcing me to constantly look at fairly inexpensive tech toys that I enjoy anyway and that are actually useful is much, much better.

Date: May 24th, 2019 4:19 PM Author: fiercely-loyal cheese-eating kitty yarmulke you know that I'm not suggesting people buy a $50k gold AP Royal Oak, right? You can easily buy 2 mechanical watches for under $5k and keep them for 50 years (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4267726&forum_id=2#38284507) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2019 4:22 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe Right, and I'm a) not going to spend $10k in my entire life on smartwatches, and b) they're more fun/useful.
But the reason you guys buy that nonsense is purely because of optics. They're not useful, they're not fun, they're just jewelry for men. And you work in an environment where that is encouraged. To me that's dumb and awful. |

Date: May 24th, 2019 4:25 PM Author: fiercely-loyal cheese-eating kitty yarmulke wtf? apple watches are like 400-500 bucks. how often do you have to replace those things?
and i meant $5k total, not each. i have a watch on my wrist that cost $1800, doesn't look like something a small child would wear, and will last forever. |

Date: May 24th, 2019 4:29 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe I got my Samsung Galaxy Watch for $225 (it was a refurb). I got my S3 for roughly similar like 2 years ago. It is still good so I gave it as a gift. You can spend as little as $100 or as much as $1k+.
I get that Apple watches, fitbits, etc. look stange but there are a ton of options that don't. https://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/334590-thumb/samsung-galaxy-watch-replacement-steel-band-strap.jpg
But again, I'm just a huge fan of function over form and preferring something actually useful and interesting over something that "provides an appropriate signal of wealth/prestige". |
|
Date: May 24th, 2019 4:31 PM Author: fiercely-loyal cheese-eating kitty yarmulke my watch provides all the function i need. in fact, i have MORE than enough tech function from my phone (i'd be okay with it having wayyyy less), and so form is actually preferable for me.

Date: May 24th, 2019 4:36 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe But for me, the point is not to have to constantly take out my phone. Someone sends me a message? I can read it by looking at my wrist. Otherwise, I feel the vibration, take out my phone, unlock it, read it, put it back, oh wait, buzz again, rinse and repeat. Watch? Look at the wrist.
I can even respond to messages and take quick calls without taking out my phone.
Anyway, this is like talking with a grandma about why the news has to be on the electronic screen instead of on good ol' paper. |

Date: May 24th, 2019 4:40 PM Author: fiercely-loyal cheese-eating kitty yarmulke Wow, what an efficient time-saver you are!
Lol, are you seriously on your fucking pho, i mean, watch that much? I like barely use my phone. |
|
Date: May 24th, 2019 4:41 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe Constantly. How can you not be?
EDIT: Also, I really do love the fitness tracking features. |
|
Date: May 24th, 2019 4:44 PM Author: fiercely-loyal cheese-eating kitty yarmulke Because if I am working I am on my laptop or reading printed docs.
When I am not working I barely use the thing.
The fitness tracking feature is totally unnecessary unless one is a top-level athlete. No one needs that kind of marginal data. |
|
Date: May 24th, 2019 4:47 PM Author: Henna Parlor Sweet Tailpipe Yeah, in-house is very different. You spend a ton of time in meetings/walking to meetings/on the phone, etc. Sometimes I'm literally walking my dog, on the phone, getting messages, etc. That smartwatch helps a ton.
"The fitness tracking feature is totally unnecessary unless one is a top-level athlete"
That's totally false. If I see I'm not active enough I'll schedule time to exercise. It even tells you if you've been sitting still too long. It encourages you to take stairs instead of the elevator. It records heart rate so you know hte intensity with which you're working out.

The number one issue with fitness is actually getting your ass off the couch/out of the chair and not being a lazy shit. This helps with that. World class athletes have trainers and all that shit. I don't so this serves that function. |

The CEO, all the EVPs (including the GC), and all the SVPs either have a smartwatch or nothing. This is a 100k-person company. If anything they look down on the people who only wear a Fitbit. I don't know who this "we" is you speak of that thinks it looks like shit, but I can guarantee you that nobody in our C-suite cares, and I highly doubt your opinion on watches matters to any of them.
I don't think I've seen anyone with a regular watch except for one senior partner at our outside counsel, who also has those tacky monogrammed dress shirts. And if he wants to look down on us, then fuck him. |

MAKE SURE U CHECK THE BAND SIZE IF YOU BUY A USED OMEGA
I didn't really pay attention. A lot of the used market comes out of Japan and has been sized for chink wrists. My wrists are on the smaller side and if the band had even one link less it would have been too tight. Extra Omega links are pretty expensive. |
