Protip: it's not necessary to post in threads you're not interested in.

Come one, it's a joke.

Just trying to lighten up the place. Just trying to make some of us laugh.

An apple that tells the time? It's funny.

Please don't take those posts mean spirited.

You're a nice guy for creating this thread for those who want one! I recognize that!

Sorry if I came across trolling brother, truly.

I’m lazy, what specific health feature is causing this?

"In court, Masimo detailed how Apple poached its top executives and more than a dozen other employees before later releasing a watch with pulse oximeter capabilities — which measures the percentage of oxygen that red blood cells carry from the lungs to the body — that were patented by Masimo."

Put them on eBay you can make $$$

Not be an asshole but that's pretty shitty regarding pro tips.

Just saying.

I never wore a watch. Always feels weird. Jewellery in general.

I get the appeal though; especially if you're in the ... Apple "ecosystem"

I guess but at the same time it's a luxury item it's not like your selling water to someone dying of thirst.

I like not having to pull out my phone every time I want to know what time it is that's the main reason I wear a watch plus it the health tracking is pretty cool

Or, you know, Apple could pay the licensing cost...

 

[JayK47]

Or you could just not buy a stupid Apple watch. I imagine this will only boost sales and in the end they will still be available.

Apple Watch is not a luxury item, Oris/Omega/Rolex are.

In many parts of the world it is but for the sake of semantics I should have said it's not a necessity so reselling one on eBay isn't bad.

Wait what? Apples are clocks?

I took OPs advice and bought a few.

I liked the Apple Watch, it was comfortable unfortunately with tattoos the sensors didn’t work correctly and affected the steps, exercise function.

Only in USA, grab beers and go to Canada. Do some skiing, smoke some legal weed and visit our full naked strip joints.

Nobody loses

Gotta grease the big guy's palms. 10%.

At first I was sympathetic to Apple, looked into the specifics to see if the patent infringement was some patent troll. But does seem somewhat legitimate and Apple may have even intentionally poached talent from Masimo.

Also there are some ridiculous things like "slide to unlock" that Apple stupidly was awarded a patent on and they sued for millions so I just consider it karma.

I legit cannot remember a phone or any other device with slide to unlock before iPhone. I am not sure such a feature should be patentable, but if it is, I think Apple has a reasonable claim on it. I remember other phone companies and Android shills claimed it was "too obvious" to be patented, but of course that is really easy to say in hindsight.
