CDs Making a Comeback?

[OnlyOneKenobi]

Not sure what you're on about with your flying phone analogy.

YOU said the watch is for use in the gym when running or walking since then you do not have to carry your phone around.
Me response was that when doing those activities at the gym, you do not have to carry your phone.

No suddenly you have all these other activities and the gym, which YOU mentioned as an excuse for using that silly little watch of yours, is no longer a factor.

Using a smart watch for anything but tracking movement, health stuff and gym, makes you look like as much a tit as walking around with a Leatherman attached to your belt.

Wake up, buddy. I clearly said running OR walking OR at the gym, right from the start. I even pointed it out to you AGAIN. It makes no difference in how you look in terms of pairing your Bluetooth earphones to a watch instead of a phone, but if anyone looks like a tit, I suppose it's you.

In the states yes. Locally, I have not seen a physical music store in a long time, not even Cash Crusaders have them anymore.

The wife has a huge CD collection going back to her school days. Alot we have ripped but there are still 100's to go through... But it's not worth the effort, she streams on YouTube and Spotify anyway.

She burns CD's for the car now and then as her car does not have Bluetooth or USB.

I lost like 90% of my CD's at house parties.

 

[wingnut771]

Yep, my cut-off was 1991 also. 1992 is when the thump-thump garbage arrived, along with every rockspider having spiekers in his car and a moerse amp

wash your mouth out please.

Or when I'm walking / hiking outside. I'm not lugging my phone around.

So the watch works without the phone?

 

[wingnut771]

I don't wear watches.

Me neither, not since std 5 when my calculator watch broke.

 

[Bernoldus Niemand]

So the watch works without the phone?

Yes

 

[wingnut771]

Yes

Since std 5, I've always knew I wanted a new watch but could never decide.

 

[IamNoone]

Yes

So you listen to the same 10 songs over and over. Must be some very favorite songs.

I have about 100 favorite songs and even then, I can't keep listening to them over and over. We are human and need variety,thanks to the digital age we are living in.

Eat some APE shrooms, then the songs will sound new.

10 songs? Even the first iPod could hold a thousand. The watch can hold much more.

So the watch is not streaming and is like an ipod? How does stuff like "spotify" work then?

Download or stream if you have a LTE watch.

 

[wingnut771]

Download or stream if you have a LTE watch.

So it does need the phone then?

 

[wingnut771]

Download or stream if you have a LTE watch.

What watch would you recommend for someone that has been looking since std 5 (1990)?

You need the phone to download the song, album or playlist but once it’s on the watch it can operate independently.

I use my watch when jogging or gymming.

I get the impression people think you are playing music through the watches loud speaker.

The earphones pair with the watch, like it would with the phone. You are limited to what you downloaded, but at the gym the watch can also connect to WiFi and then you can stream.

It’s one less thing to worry about when exercising.
If I’m doing a treadmill, bike or elliptical, I sometimes like to take my phone and watch videos like talks or something like that. When doing weights, the phone is best left in the car or at home.

My watch never makes a sound, whether calls or music.

 

[PaulGherkin]

Says the clown calling it a status symbol.

What else shall I call it then, when I sit at the Wimpy in the mall on a weekend and see people flashing their iPhone and Apple Watch in ways that are clearly meant to make other people notice as if to say "Whoo look at what I have, ek is cooler as djy".

They said make love to the camera. These yuppie types in SA make love to the strangers instead flaunting their devices.

Your first problem is going to Wimpy.

 

[PaulGherkin]

Your first problem is going to Wimpy…

It is my choice to go sit and eat wherever I like. It is not my design that the mall has one and the said restaurant is in view of the social space where they expo the cars and other promotions

 

[wingnut771]

Your first problem is going to Wimpy.

Wimpy has the best burger on the planet.

Their farmhouse breakfast is also awesome.
