Smart watch like the Apple Watch. Any useful benefits while cleaning and overall for this industry?

I would not mind owning a smart watch but just can’t bring myself up to paying several hundred dollars for a wrist watch that eventually becomes obsolete after 4-5 years. Rather buy a mechanical windup timepiece that will last years and years. However if there is are useful business benefits that can be incorporated into this trade, I’m open to the idea.

actually I do shop for windup wrist watches. A mechanical watch movement is a movement driven by a main spring, that needs to be hand-wound manually. The other is the automatic wristwatch. Both are Gentry for men.

I can see how a smart watch would be useful for checking messages while working but I’m not fully convince.

I don't own one but my daughters do and so do several of the office girls. I can see where it would be helpful at times but not enough to get me to buy one.

I don't wear a watch, it's been probably 20 years since I have. Seems redundant since I already have a phone on me. But I'm not much for men wearing jewelry either.

Get a winder and enjoy.

Smart watches on anyone's wrist takes them down 10 levels of interest, in my opinion.

I had those Microsoft band watches before.. Was good but they recalled all the watches and bought them back at that time.. You can screen @hogjowl calls/text faster without skipping a beat..

It gets annoying to have to stop what you’re doing to answer a stoopid question.. :lol:

I clean carpets in mine but can’t play golf in it. She always wants to ask a question in the middle of my swing. Criticize or dial 911. Worse than having a wife in the cart with you🤷🏼‍♂️

You're really not going to use that tagline?

Marty said it was going to be "Better than the rest, Blu-glides are the Best". Personally I like that much better. 😎 Even if they are only cheaper not better!

This is boring me. I may sell out my inventory for a Paramotor and then land on the peak of Mt. Whitney.
