  6. Thoughts on connected watches?

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    I had the Iwatch. Hated how the screen was daork until I moved my arm. Sometimes would take a second or two to give me the time. The ones in the video looked really nice and there is some value to being able to change the display to a kick ass pertetual and then switch to a divers watch. But it is hard to justify spending big bucks on a watch that will be bad in 4-5 years. Show me some commitment that these watches can be fixed, battery switched out, new technology added then maybe I would consider it.

    The more I think about it the more I am thinking about a safe. Sounds like a good idea. I am thinking about a gun safe cause I need at least 40inches tall and 20 Inches wide interior. That size in a normal safe is going to be crazy heavy. I think a quality gun safe will slow down any crooks long enough. Or am I wrong?

    Any recommendations? Thanks again guys. Great info.

    Insurance is nice but also a total pain in the ass. Not sure what you have experienced but the want everything apprasied ( which I totally understand) but also every 3-4 years they want items appraised again. Thats a huge pain in the ass. Also if you add up the premuim every year is really adds up. I can buy a really nice gold watch every 6th year.

     

    Kinnsella,

    you do have a good point. I was looking at the door frame and I can run thru it easliy if i wanted to. Or just punch myself thru the drywall next to the door.

    I've got the typical home alarm with motion, door, and fire sensors. I also have a locked door and we keep our walk in closet door locked. But I feel that it isn't enough. Many of my items just aren't replaceable. I am thinking about a supplemental alarm just for the closet. Its own GSM for allerting me by cell.

     

    What else can I do? What are you guys doing to protect your valuables? I dont want some huge safe. If my watches are hard to get to them im just going to wear my Rolex everyday and not have any kind of rotation with my other watches....

    Ya he is funny. I lost track of how many times he says " fcuk me dead".

     

    He had an interesting video last week were some random friend who know nothing about watches guessed the prices of his collection. She guesses $300.00 on most of the watches. Most people have no clue about the watch market. No clue what a 10,000 dollar watch looks like.

    I definantly can agree with Fortis on many levels. You can become a slave to all your automation. Resetting sensors. Having to call in multiple people to do simple repairs. For example when I had my Crestron system I needed to have a programmer reprogram it every time I wanted a new VCR ( ya it was that long ago) or add a component.

     

    I had a nest thermostat at my place of business. We have the A/C and heaters serviced at least2-3 time a year. The service guy was playing around with the thing for 20 minutes to bypass and turn it on for testing and then to turn it off. They charge by the hour so if you add up all this playing around every time they do a service call it definantly offests whaterer energy costs you save. I said enough and went back to the old mercury thermostat. Too much bullshit.
