The Reasons Not to Buy an Apple Watch (Fashion Editor of NYT)

The fashion expert Vanessa Friedman explains the reasons that led him to get rid of Apple Watch. It is clear that Apple Watch is not a device for everyone. In fact, in the Buying Guide article, Apple Watch explained the type of profile behind the Buyer of Apple Smartwatch, something that I recommend take a look especially now that the device is about to come to our hands.

Last week, I had the opportunity to read an interesting article in the New York Times, talking about Apple Watch, but strangely not in the technology section, but in fashion. The author is Vanessa Friedman, a renowned fashion editor, and explains the reasons which led him to get rid of Apple Watch. A reading that may be will  interest many of you who are still hesitating whether to make you with the Smartwatch .

Basically, Friedman relies on an argument that can be very banal to some but important for others: Apple Watch remains a wrist computer and looks too “geek”. Many of you read the whole article after learning his background basis, but here are some of the passages that leaves us this fashion editor:

“No matter how attractive is the Apple Watch in the context of other Smartwatch or smartbands, no matter how advanced aesthetics with rounded corners and rectangular screen, still looking like a device.”

Interestingly criticize Apple Watch size when many users who have purchased, including women, were surprised at how small it is the model of 38mm. Of course, the measures of the clock of the block, especially its thickness, are improved, although it will not be something we’ll look to future generations.

For this fashion editor Apple Watch remains a wrist computer “geeks”

“Seeing someone looking at your wrist (or just taking a quick look at it) is something completely:. (1) rude or (2) geek,” says the editor. “This does not seem to have bothered most editors technology, most of whom wrote positive reviews of the device, based mainly on what this could do for you. And certainly they are more subtle than the Google Glass, although I’m not sure this is saying too much. ”

The second criticism of Friedman seems to be geared towards the functionality of Apple Watch, although I doubt there could objectively evaluate it after roofing “geek” looking at your wrist watch or interact with. In short, you can read the full article here if you are particularly interested in the vision of this editor. Do you seem to sound their opinions?
