Ok, but not in any way rhetorically, why should anyone care whether you want one? "I don’t like being 'plugged in' all the time" is not a wider point. It's a very narrow point. It's an expression of your own self-interest.
I'm not saying you should/shouldn't get an Apple watch. I'm trying to extract some value from what you've written outside of knowing you a little better. Nice to meet you :)
I don't like the way food looks on blue dinner plates. So I don't buy blue dinner plates. Other than informing you of my preference, what value can you extract from knowing this?
I almost passed this HN submission by entirely in my news feed. I know this post will come across as typical HN stone tossing, but I noticed that your username and the domain name were the same, so I thought, "Hey, this guy obviously wants to share his thoughts with the world, so I should take the opportunity to provide some feedback." I hope you won't find my comments too mean spirited. I really do mean them constructively.
