    Love that college humor skit. Now that I think about it the 10,000 is not worth it. But the 17,000 one is. ;)

    If you liked that one, you'll love this one where the guy wears a $17k watch and the salesman has to put the watch on his wrist and then adjust it because it's too difficult to do by himself.

    Nice ! I do mid sized commercial electrical jobs. Used to be General Foreman for Dillard's Department store new construction and remodel. I do houses also...basic service and up to million dollar homes as well. Best job I had was a Lutron, Multi Universe controlled LED lighting job. Actually used my iPad and Pocket Draw to design 29 cabinets for a 30,000sqft house. Over two miles of LED RIBBON RGB (GM) in cove lighting alone not including cabinets and toe kicks...

    Impressive resume you have. I'll give you your points back and throw in a couple more.

    I'll give even more if you tell me your using an iPhone/iPad DMX controlled system :wink:

    I on the other hand have been a wastrel for the last thirty years.
    That is why I cannot afford an EYE WASH, let alone an iWatch. :D

    Nice one, scott!

    This is not me in the video, but I like the idea. You should do this with your watch @jonmulcahy .

  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922

    Yes we are using a DMX system with preset switches and remote touch screen controls with central dimming control at the panels.

    My grandfather and father were contractors so I started very young. I was in the field at 13 and traveling for the company around the country at 15. This is my 30th years as a member of the IBEW.

    I'm actually not interested in the watch at all. I'm an Apple nerd and I just don't see a need for it in my life. I don't like wearing watches in general. If I need the time or to know who texted me, I have my phone in my pocket anyway. No thanks, Apple!

    We are losing out !

    Actually, not really. People want actual apps and health apps for the watch. Not games. The R.O.I. for a game on the watch is not really worth the time to put in.

    I got an idea, what about a clock app for the watch then you could tell the time with it.
    THAT WOULD BE AWESOME INDEED!!!!!! ;)

    My watch is pretty cool and simple games would be fun on it. Come on GameSalad can we get support? We could be missing a gold rush.

    The new Apple TV App Store is going to be the gold rush

    There is not many ways to monetize on the watch (except buy the app for iPhone). It is just a rush there is not much gold.

    I don't like to wear watches, rings, neck chains and other stuff like that.

    I've bought my first iPhone, because I've liked the fact that now I don't need to carry, notepad, PSP, flashlight, digital camera, mp3 player etc.

    When did an app like cra.../flappy bird become a standard? You can make that stuff in Swift and Xcode without much knowledge at all. Your not missing out unless you are not using what Apple is already providing you.

    Actually there is a small gold rush... I'm looking daily for apps to put on my watch. I would pay for something that was cool. If you make a cool game and have 1 million potential buyers it seems to justify it.

  • Thunder_ChildThunder_Child Member Posts: 2,343

    Yea there is a small rush. A simple Simon says game...several of them...are worth hundreds of thousands already. Even a simple app as a calculator is doing quite fine. There not just junk code apps either.
