You have a serious shopping problem. Is your house cluttered?

Actually not at all. Before I met my wife, it almost looked like nobody lived here! No pictures on the wall , plants, pets or anything. She decorates like crazy, though.

 

I buy a lot of games and electionics but that's about it. I like having the newest consoles or phones. Maybe some nice furniture. I'm not really into expensive clothes, shoes, pets, etc. And I make sure all of my bills are paid before I even think of buying things I don't need.

Pets are living beings. They are not supposed to be bought. Adoption all the way

Last I heard about them, they were really immature. I like the idea but they don't really sound practical right now.

I can't adopt a fish!

My wife found a dog before we met, nursed her back to health and kept her. She died about a month ago, though. It was rough.



I never really wear watches myself. I'd say that unless you're in a situation where you can't have your smart phone, that a smart watch is redundant.

I feel you, man, and am really sorry for your loss. :(

I've been wanting an Android Smart Watch lately but I don't know why and I don't really know what they can and can't do. Does anyone here have one? Any regrets? Any recommendations?

I have a LG G Watch R, and had (up until selling it) an iWatch.

process of owning them goes like this:

1) spend first few hours tinkering and being impressed
2) spend next few days finding apps, experimenting with watch faces
3) occasionally forget to charge, no point wearing it
4) realize that actually, controlling playback of your music and the volume, playing on your phone only has very limited usage, along with every other app
5) eventually stop wearing it because you can never be bothered to keep it charged

Long story short, waste of fucking time.

Just get a cheap xiaomi "smart" watch so you can occasionally do health app / tracking stuff, and see the time, full android/ios watches are a waste of money.

This is kinda what I was afraid of. I have a couple of friends at work that have one and say they love it but they never say what they love about it. I may have f'd up. I've been looking at videos and reviews for the one I ordered but I won't know for sure until I have it.

Thanks. It's crazy. Never really wanted a pet but that dog really knew how to endear herself. Lot of good memories. I still find myself looking for her when I look out the window sometimes. Even dreamed about her a couple of times.
