“In the week since I stopped wearing it, I have missed precisely one thing: the Dark Sky ‘“complication’ in the top left-hand corner of the watch face,” Hern writes. “You don’t need one, and neither do I. It just took me nine months of wearing it to realise.”

If you do not yet have an Apple Watch, you are really missing out.
We’ve had our Apple Watches on our wrists since Friday, April 24, 2015 and very happily so. They aren’t coming off for anything but the next-gen Apple Watch.
Here’s what we use our Apple Watches for in order of usage:
1. Time
2. Temperature (yes, via Dark Sky)
3. Fitness
4. Music while running/working out
5. Alarms
6. Weather forecast (yes, again via Dark Sky)
7. Sports scores
8. Stock prices
9. Timers
10. Turn-by-turn navigation
11. Quick texts (mainly replies, Siri works remarkably well for dictation)
12. Quick news via 3rd party news apps
13. Apple Pay
14. Apple TV Remote
15. Basic email (reading, deleting, marking unread)SEE ALSO:
