One of the interesting things is Apple filed for a patent to completely
disconnect the watch from the phone and have the watch connect directly to the
cell network.



I think I’m going to wait until the second generation of watch but in general I
like the idea of wearable technology and your message gives a good idea of how
it’s used.

I would have to say, Apple typically improve year after year on their devices.
Can only begin to imagine what the future generations of the Apple iWatch will
have.

I am sure I heard something about the iWatch getting wifi.

Take quite a few calls on my watch and the person usually calling me states
they have very few problemshearing me .

However, I feel really goofy talking to my watch and putting it up to my ear to
hear. Keep in mind, this is only done in the privacy of my home. Would never
take a call in public and talk to my wrist.

Bluetooth my headphones to my watch, removed them from my iPhone and I don’t
have to depend on the phone for many features when I am out and about and
certainly don’t have to spend twenty-five minutes trying to get it out of my
bag.

Also, when receiving a text, there are some standard replies and a few I'm on a
few of those goofy faces you can reply with very discretely.

One thing which is quite spooky, is when my watch tells me to get up, because I
have been sitting too long or congratulate me throughout the day for meeting my
fitness goals.

These goals were not set by me, but are the ones first suggested when first
setting up the watch. This can be turned off, but like intermittent
encouragement from a friendly voice. Think after a few more weeks will turn
her off.

Also like that I can have screen curtain on and can listen to my preferred
playlist directly from the watch.

Have played a little with the maps app on the watch while paired with my
headset and this is nice, no need to spend another twenty-five minutes
searching for that very large iPhone.

Gotta say I have no regrets and would buy it again with what I know and still
discovering more.

One thing I forgot, can use the watch to control the camera when taking
pictures.

Think I am finish and maybe there will be others who can provide additional
information or features I have overlooked.

forward to hearing how watch os 2 will be when it comes out. I watched the key
note and I'm impressed by what it will offer.

I would have to say you guys are a hoot! However, picked up some very useful
information contained within the entertainment.

I found I can set the battery level using most clock faces, did not try them
all.

Originally, was not sure about putting my hard earned money into what I thought
was an expensive talking watch. Not only, I had my handy braille watch and it
cost about $99. Every so often had to get a new battery or a new leather band
and it absolutely did not cost $150!

I have been bonding with my Apple iWatch for about a month and find it to be
most interesting piece of tech I have ever owned.

I have a hearing impairment and this is why I purchased the larger iPhone, so
when it is on silent I can locate it from the intense vibration pattern, could
rarely hear or feel the vibration on my 5 when on silent.

Also, I am one of those people who spend 15 minutes trying to locate my ringing
phone, because it is a bit large to Carry around unless it is in my purse.

The Apple iWatch allow me to get instant feedback, keep it on silent and
instantly know what type of information is coming my way just by the different
vibration patterns.

Hate taking it off, wish battery charge lasted much longer, charge it when I
have down time, but keep it on while sleeping.

It is more than a bit pricey, but paid much more money several years ago for a
piece of technology designed for the blind and it did very little and every
time I stumble over it when looking for something els, just shake my head.

One other thing, it is quite stirty, always smacking that thing against the
wall or other hard surfaces.

Of course you can talk about the Apple watch here. That’s like saying you
can’t discuss android on the android list or protools plugins on the protools
list. Who makes the watch, that’s right kids it’s Apple. What’s this list
about, again that’s right from the peanut gallery it’s Apple Products.

With your watch on your clock face touch and hold with one finger. Here you can
select your clock face. I know this at least can be done with the modular clock
face. Find the modular clock face then flick up with one finger until you here
customize. Double tap and select battery status to add to your clock face. You
will use the digital crown to select your complications.
