Welcome in front of me. I have the brand new Apple Watch series 8, I think another one
0:07
And yeah, today I'll go unboxing, assuming I didn't do that already and just an overview
0:18
So I'll just pop it straight open. What heck is this sticker
0:32
I'm pretty sure this isn't standard, as you can probably gather by the sticker
0:38
P.O. Box. This is not from Apple, so fantastic placement of this one. Well done. Whoever
0:45
said it to place it here. There we go
1:01
So once we get inside, we get the just a watch itself and the biggest box for no reason
1:09
And then we get the strap. That's about it, so let's eat that to the side
1:15
Let's start off with the strap. It looks like I won't need a knife
1:19
do have these nice pool tabs, yoink, and... There we go. So as you can see, we have the strap right here
1:40
So if you have a smaller wrist, like my petite one, then you can utilize the smaller one
1:47
It will fit really small hands. really small hands in this case and this one is just universal. So I'm gonna take out this
2:02
And a small one. And now we can move over to the actual watch
2:18
already These are prepared Okay there our watch our watch
2:37
Here we have our charger
2:54
So just a magnetic one, a no charger for it, just like the dock itself, but obviously not a brick
3:03
So anyway, just put that to the side. Now it looks like... here..
3:24
here. So now we go. Just to kind of take off my watch. Now I don't, I'm not using an Apple watch
3:33
This is an Opel one. So it's a little bit bigger than this. Also doesn't have a crown
3:40
But let's see. I'm trying to put it on, but come on
3:47
Go, so that clip it. Just make it a little bit tighter. And... And..
4:04
Here we go. So that's basically how it looks like on super skinny hands
4:13
To be honest, not the most comfortable fit for at least me when it's on the top of my wrist, rather than on the bottom
4:21
When it comes on the comfort, I would prefer my watches on the bottom just because a little bit too much bones here. So yeah, anyway. So there is our little watch right here
4:33
And quickly going over the specs, we're looking at 1.9 inch display with a 484 by 396 pixels
4:42
It's a LTPO OLED display with peak brightness of 1,000 nets, 363 pixels per inch
4:50
a sapphire glass at the front right here so you do have pretty durable protective glass right here It running a warehouse 9 upgradeable to 9 comes with 32 gigs of
5:05
built-in storage and 1 gigabyte of RAM and those are probably like some of the worst best
5:12
specs to be mentioned right here along with the battery which is 308mps pretty small to be
5:20
but this is a watch so I believe that for watch at least at this size this is a pretty normal
5:29
size of the battery now last thing to mention here would be that this device comes at about
5:37
850 euros which is absolutely effing ridiculous for a watch and the reason why I do criticize
5:44
the price right here is because this is a smart watch which requires a smartphone not really sure how you can
5:50
classify something as a smart watch and I mean that in all the ones like this one as well
5:55
I need to have a phone to connect this garbage too how is it smart if it always requires a
6:03
phone to work like if I need to pair this to my phone how is it smart it gets everything from
6:10
the phone it has enough processing power and enough RAM and storage inside to function all on its
6:20
own. But it wouldn't be a just Android or Apple product when it didn't force you into the
6:26
shitty ecosystem of Apple or Android. I'm not just, I'm mentioning both
6:32
because Android version does the same thing. You want to pair this garbage? You do need the
6:37
Android device. Now luckily with smart watches from that are running Android, you can also pair them to
6:43
iPhones. But Apple watches, no, no, no, you can't do that. You just get to pair
6:50
to your iPhone so yeah that's another price that you get to spend for a
6:56
phone because you can't use this with anything else outside of iPhones. Are you
7:01
effing kidding me? So I do want to be very honest here when it comes down to
7:09
smart watches I don't do the smart part is just I guess an exaggeration at this point and
7:15
it was cool at the beginning like whoopty do watches could do a bunch of
7:20
of things but when a watch can do everything and still needs a thing phone I do draw a line especially when it costs more than typical phone so a watch for 850 dollars that can function on its own even though it has all the freaking hardware to do so it not something that I would recommend
7:39
For, I don't know, 300? Sure, that's a fair price for a device
7:44
But at this price, go F yourself. Like, why? Why would I spend more than I would spend on a phone
7:52
for a device that can do everything that a phone does but still needs it
8:00
So yeah, I am very critical of just wearable devices like this
8:08
At this point, honestly, I'm just kind of sick of them. Just because it's been released
8:13
how many times now, eight times, I guess. It's serious eight, so I assume there's like eight iterations of it
8:18
And yet it still can't function on its own, even though once you pair it up, you can do everything on its own. Like
8:28
Apple, are you absolutely, like, serious here? There is no reason I would need to pair this to my
8:36
phone when it has enough power to do everything, literally everything, without needing a one
8:43
So, yeah, uh, I just can't say that I'm really viking with what Apple has been doing in the past
8:51
half a decade or more. So, well, this product, I will be honest, is not for me
8:58
Apple at this point isn't for me. They're... Whatever they're doing is just, at this point, annoying me
9:06
Now, releasing a phone for, what is it, $1,200 that has a hole-punched camera
9:11
and calling it a feature, like, are you kidding me? You could, oh, I don't know, maybe not include it the whole punch
9:18
and also add the feature of a dynamic island that only appears when you actually need it
9:25
But it's Apple, so it's easier to call it a hindrance a feature
9:30
And I am honestly at this point kind of sick of it, so yeah, that's all I have to say
9:38
So anyway, if you found my rant helpful, maybe I do vibe with what I say about Apple
