New sports watch preview
Re: New sports watch preview
Vimeo didn’t work for me (not currently in the UK with only an average connection speed so it was probably that). I saw the black screen before it started, then once I refreshed I kept getting buffering with a white ring going around. Tried several times for ten mins then gave up.
Look forward to seeing/hearing details of what I missed when it’s released though! Sounds exciting though, judging by comments so far. (Shame to have missed the background info and I wish they would record these sessions even if they are only available after the watch’s general release) Having skipped the Apexs’ and regretted it since, I’m fairly interested!

Re: New sports watch preview
Vimeo worked ok, after I refreshed it, was nearly afaird to refresh as it said late entries will not get to view. As for the watch, it’s super cool but not for me at present. Look forward to more of these events, hopefully more for other new watches this year.

Re: New sports watch preview
Vimeo worked fine for me right from the start.
The watch is not for me but I am sure loads of people will be excited about it.
A little nugget during the presentation was, to me, far more impressive and exciting than the watch. Revealed when the thing goes live.

Bit disappointed that people are openly writing details about what they saw, despite being asked not to. I wouldn’t want this to spoil us being granted previews of any future releases.

^^^ Please don’t post screenshots naming individuals on other platforms, even if the details are blanked out. It achieves nothing

Re: New sports watch preview
Meant to say Vimeo was brilliant. (I dialled in from by the pool in Lanzarote using hotel WiFi!). Signal was good, everything clear and no buffering at all. Easier to use than Zoom!

Re: New sports watch preview
I had a work meeting put in last minute so couldn't make the preview. The little bits of info here and there means I'm pretty sure I know what it is so unlikely to be of personal interest, but hopefully it's a resounding success.
Re: New sports watch preview
Vimeo kept stalling for me to the point where I eventually gave up. However, I got the gist of what’s coming. I really appreciated the invitation to watch.
Re: New sports watch preview
Vimeo worked perfectly for me.
It was a great presentation and watch, but will wait for real world pics before purchasing.

Re: New sports watch preview
Well, that might be the stupidest thing I'll do this year but there are many reasons to buy a watch and not all of them are based in common sense.
In fact whenever are watch buying decisions based in common sense? When does the head rule the heart? Is it wrong for passion to take control and the heart rule the head?
My emotions over the past 36 hours have run the gamut
maybe yes, maybe no, it will depend on the reveal......
yes, it's the 20th anniversary big ticket.....
no, it is not my favouritest thing....
just do it.......

Re: New sports watch preview
Vimeo worked fine. I also had the black screen moment that others have reported but I logged out and logged back in so all was fine. I'm not that familiar with Vimeo but the video and conference bits all worked and they were quick to follow up in the chat function.
As for the watch, well, I've paid the deposit.

I put the money down immediately. The way I look at it, I’ve got 6 months and 60 days to change my mind.
