I agree with much of what John has to say. In addition I’m given to understand
by Apple PR that the new airPods work with the watch but I’ve been waiting some
time to receive a set for review. I was briefly shown them when given a
briefing on the 7 Plus but of course they are expensive when compared to other
possible solutions.

love it. It’s just more convenient for checking notifications and messages,
etc., and keeping track of physical activity such as exercising.
When I am out and about I use a multi-point Bluetooth earpiece which lets me
access messages on the Watch while my phone is stowed away. I can use the
phone on the same earpiece for BlindSquare and the Train App and for reading
books on the move.

this is my own personal preference buti love the watch with the iphone,
haven't really had much experience with headsets but i like that i can tell
via the watch that i'm getting a call, i have been known to miss them before
i had the watch and my phone was in my bag.

Subject: [access-uk] Apple watch versus iPhone with Bluetooth headset
Hi all
I’m thinking of buying an Apple Watch but I’m not sure what advantage over
the iPhone with a Bluetooth headset the Apple Watch has. There is the
haptic feedback for Maps and the tactile touch time facility on the watch,
but what else does the watch do that I can’t do with a Bluetooth headset and
my iPhone
Also, could I use a Bluetooth headset with the Watch and iPhone, and is
there any point in doing this?
Cheers
Barry
