When I heard that theSamsung Galaxy Ringwas real, my first thought was what took so long?
Im amazedSamsungdid not land on this concept much sooner.
Samsung Galaxy Gear came before Apple Watch
Its such a clear win that anApple Ringfeels inevitable.
Apple doesnt copy Samsung.
We should have had a ring before a watch.
Samsung Galaxy Gear came before Apple Watch
We should have anAppleRing already, instead of anApple Watch Ultra.
We can SCUBA dive with the Apple Watch, but theres no Apple Ring.
Something is backwards here.
A ring makes much more sense than a watch.
First of all, I have a nice, fancy watch that I wear occasionally.
I like it more than he did when it was his.
Samsung Galaxy Gear came before Apple Watch
But I still wear myApple Watchpredominantly.
I cant lose a day of closed rings.
Its an affluent group.
Wouldn’t this be cooler with an Apple Ring controller?
Watches are still cool, even if we mostly tell time by looking at our phones.
A watch is a great fashion accessory, in addition to being useful.
That means I might need more than one watch to match different occasions.
I need to accessorize.
It wouldnt keep me from wearing other accessories, unlike the Apple Watch.
Im going to trade it in or throw it away or maybe just leave it sitting in a drawer.
Thats not so easy with an Apple Watch that costs more than any other watch Ive purchased.
A watch shouldnt go out of date.
A watch couldnt become obsolete before the Apple Watch.
An Apple Ring would be more palatable to lose, if I needed something new.
A ring is less personal than a watch.
It doesnt have a face.
I also imagine an Apple Ring would be less expensive than an Apple Watch.
There is more miniaturization involved, and that makes production and parts expensive.
But there are also fewer parts, by far, and no moving parts like the digital crown.
Because the original smartwatch makers had no idea what a wearable was good for.
The Galaxy Gear wearable had a freaking camera.
Maybe, but it shipped with an app that could scan wine bottle labels and recommend food pairings.
Tell me that Samsung had a clue what wearables were for back then.
Dont laugh, Apple fans.
That has some creepy Facebook Poke vibes right there.
I cant name another gold watch that expires in 10 years.
An expired Apple Watch isnt even jewelry anymore.
It took a while for smartwatch makers to realize that health was enough reason to own a wearable.
Everything else is gravy.
Still, its the health features that sell smartwatches.
Now that weve settled on health, lets admit that a ring makes more sense than a watch.
A ring is easier to wear while exercising, especially if you play contact sports.
Apple needs to make an Apple Ring, and fast.
I know that Apple never copies Samsung; its Samsungs job to do the copying.
At least, thats the way Apple fans see it.
Forget that Apple only made big phones after Samsung made big phones.
Forget that Apple only made the iPhone water resistant after Samsung did it.
Ill stop, Ive made my point.
