Apple has released the Apple Watch Series 9 and along with it, a commercial or two showing off its features. Hello, I’m Ben. I love my Apple MacBook Pro. Beyond that, anything Apple related is a hard “no” for me.

Think Again. If Apple wants me to walk around double tapping my fingers to end phone calls or set alarms, the joke’s on them, I don’t do phone calls. I don’t do alarms, either. OK, fine, the technology is cool (if it works). But I will not be seen pinching my fingers together like an idiot.
I’ll be happily sticking with my Garmin watches, which are much better suited for my lifestyle. I have the VívoActive HR and the Forerunner 245 Music and I love them both.

We’re not against rap Apple products. We’re not against rappers Apple. But we are against those thugs the entitled Apple fanbase.
