I'm not sure, should I feel old...ish because I can use a slide rule?

Absolutely NOT! The current generation carries their brains in their back pocket in their "smart phone". People can no longer think without batteries. You're better than that.

Are you kidding, I'm using an 1885 Chandler and Price letter press to reply to this.

I took printing in high school. I ran an 11x17 Davidson Duolith. We had three Heidelbergs; two offset and a letterpress. They do pretty work.

While I enjoy the watch, neat gadget and conversation piece, I am actually thinking of listing it on eBay even if at a loss for the dozen or so times I have used it.
I realize I just don't use it enough based on my daily 60% plus battery life remaining. Most of the 40% or less used is from being on. Interesting as the biggest concern with it is battery life. Haven't really decided yet because on the other hand, I love watches, period. It's paid for.

Apple is one of my clients and the team that does phone orders has some funny insights on the Apple watches. They've sold a few of the 10k+ dollar versions. I don't see how it makes sense as another device, but it nice looking; that's for sure.

Apple needed to kick start this technology and you are an early adopter, so this is what you get. If I were you, I'd put it back in the box, wait a few years and sell it if you're not hurting to re-coupe your doe. Just like a mint 1st gen iPhone, it could rise in value.

My first job after graduating HS was working in a print shop making diplomas on a platen press and pulling the type from a California job case.
