So, are you among the relatively lucky few who’ve received your Apple Watch and had some quality time to spend with it?
How’s it working out? Are you liking it? Any problems? Any surprises? How’s the battery life holding out for you after much extra Day One poking, prodding, and Digital Crowning? Have you had to do a restart, as we did on one unit, to get phone calls working again this morning? Other than that, we’ve had no issues of which to speak – although, and this is obviously minor, we do wish we could customize the astronomy Watch face (we’d love to have battery life available there).
Praise or critique, have it at it below!
So, how do you like your Apple Watch?
MacDailyNews Take: We love ours! We’d venture to guess that Steve Jobs would be proud.
I don’t know that I’d call the learning curve “steep.” I’d say the software is a little different than iOS. When I first started using it, I didn’t like that I was continually having to enter the security code. Then I realized its function and how it was triggered by taking it off my wrist. They were smarter than I was. I suspect that much of this will be that way. It’s not unlike learning iOS when it first came out compared to the Mac OS. As I get to know the watch better, it is becoming more intuitive.
As I am in front of a desk all day with my iPhone perched in front of me, I still don’t know how much the watch will change how I do things. But away from my desk, I really like it. I rarely have to get iPhone out of my pocket.
With a 5S, I couldn’t use Apple Pay until now. I really like that. That alone justifies the expense.
Overall, I like it and while I am not sure it will be as revolutionary as the iPhone, I think it could be. Too soon to tell. And I still haven’t downloaded any non-OEM apps yet.
checked apple.com. My order for the 42 space grey sports with black band… order confirmation received at 12:05, was originally showing May 13-27… is now showing “preparing for shipment” seems it may show sooner than expected. Hope so!
