iWatch?

R99 · 05-29-2018, 06:25 PM

Anyone got one?

I’m considering, but not sure if the stainless is worth the extra over the aluminium? Ceramic is out, as it’s mega ££!

Just looking for feedback....

Apple Watch, its not an iWatch

Been a few long threads on here.....

As I put on one of the other threads, I've had a v1 for the past couple of years. I've done all sorts of water sports with it even though it's not supposed to be water proof and I've not had any issues and I wear it every day. It does everything it needs to and is capable in most scenarios but not the best at anything. There are better fitness trackers, nicer looking watches etc. It just depends on what you want one for. For me, running a business, I get emails and messages at all times of the day and it's much easier to get a tap on my wrist, look at the watch, see it's not important and carry on with what I'm doing than it is to get my phone or laptop out and see what's going on.

Don't bother, I had one and stopped using it a couple of months later, annoying that you don't get alerts on your iPhone anymore and the running tracking was beyond terrible!!

If you weren't getting notifications on your iPhone you didn't have it setup correctly.

Turn off wrist detection if you want to have the notifications on both

I've changed the notifications to custom & seems to work on both now

I don't understand where people come up with names for products they are legitimately interested in buying and I assume have done a bit of research on. iWatch?

I saw one forum member refer to AirPods as iBuds

Of course. But expect a terse answer for being too bone idle to at least check recent threads. I mean this a BMW forum, how many times can appe watch come up?

Anyway, back on topic, how hard is it to put your hand in your pocket and check your phone? £300 to glance at your wrist instead. Grow up

And then the security on the watch is disabled!

Also I hated that my Tag was just sitting on my table not being worn!

Also I forgot to say wearing one makes you look like an absolute geek!

Apple watch is for industrial Nerds, keep it Swiss when it comes to watches
