Us: We want multiple day battery life Apple: Here is a watch that records everything you say instead
Pair this with meta glasses and we’re cooked
Can't wait to pair this with my LG tv.
I can't wait to pair my always listening watch with my Palantir Oura ring and always watching Meta glasses! :)
consent is a word we need to bring back into the conversation
The black mirror episode about the contact lenses that records everything comes to mind. "I didn't say that". "oh yeah? Let's ask the watch, shall we" Makes my stomach churn
As an auditor in State government, some states have laws that prohibit “recording” of conversations in meetings, etc. It’s going to be interesting to see how this is handled from that kind of perspective.
Apple used to believe that you should start with the user experience and work your way backward to the technology, rather than starting with the technology and trying to find ways to sell it; perhaps they should be reminded of that
everybody removing watches, phones, glasses before important meetings
2015: The New Apple Watch. 2026: The New Apple Listen.
You can get an ai to rewind convos? Relationships are gonna be cooked
We had every opportunity to create a awesome sci-fi future, but instead we got pervert glasses and snitch watches.

I work for a very large organization here in the UK and I can ABSOLUTELY foresee the board making folk remove watches before meetings.
I’m MKBHDing all over my phone rn
So much tech no one is asking for.
Yeah, lets just add one more consumer device that is always recording EVERYONE ELSE in public.
2:05 it’s funny that people now need an app to tell them they slept like shit and are tired
Imagine a lawyer using the transcribed audio of the accused in the court
Apple is increasingly struggling to be the king of privacy while simultaneously justifying that it is becoming less and less private for the user.
