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.

Definitely not hurting to recover money. I would just use the funds towards paying off other recent watch purchases. I thought of keeping it long term but wonder what value there will really be if the market is flooded with so many millions of them.

I really like the watch. I just dont see enough use out of it. On the other hand, it's paid for, it's a fun gadget, perhaps I will gradually rely on it more. What I definitely love about it is being home, having phone wherever and seeing my texts, emails and calls.

I think my biggest hurdle is I can't see shelving my Breitling or Rolex for an Apple Watch but I can definitely find use for it here and there.

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.
