Are you still wearing Apple Watch?

    I wear mine daily. I tried all the other smart watches and think Apple refined their watch more.
    There's room for improvement, but even just as a watch it is an improvement except for the short battery life and not always visible time.
    Apple Pay is very handy. The vibrational "tapping" is the best of any watch. The stopwatch graph is a very useful and innovative way to visualize laps.
    The Solar time face is a useful advance in how to visualize time.
    The sizes are better. My 38mm is perfect. Large clownish watches look stupid and get in the way.
    The Apple Watch is also THE MOST comfortable watch I've worn--mine is the Sport.
    Siri is handy for reminders and setting timers, alarms, etc.
    Being able to create your own watch face combinations makes it more like 12 watches. Sometimes I need a stopwatch and timer. Other times, I need weather, calendar, etc. All this easy to change.
    The worst thing about the Apple Watch, to me, is I feel compelled to wear it because I want to track my activity and have grow to really want its features, but I long to wear other watches in my collection. It's nice to wear a quality time piece, whereas the Apple Watch looks like a tiny iPhone on my wrist. It's fine. I actually think rectangular works better than circular, BUT... I still like my more traditional watches at times. I like that they are always visible and look interesting/good.
    So, sometimes I consider my Apple Watch as a different device like a "sports band" and do the "Norman Schwarzkopf" and wear two watches at once. It's may seem a bit eccentric, but the Apple Watch for all it does simply isn't a watch to me. It's a lot more, but it just lacks the sense of unique self-expression that can come from wearing a particular timepiece that one chooses for aesthetic and other personal reasons.
    Pimping out the Apple Watch with multiple bands and protective cases just isn't the same.
    Nonetheless, it's the best smartwatch in my opinion.
    Oh, and I'm not particularly concerned if it's accurate down to the milliseconds. I doubt that's a huge selling point for most.

    I tell people it's about a 7 out of 10. Being able to REMOVE apps from the circle of dots would make it a 7.5 and a workout app that gave better/more heart rate info than "average" would raise it at least another half point. It allows me to do my job more easily as I can stay in touch via email without pulling out my phone all the time. Being able to ignore non-essential contacts at a glance is wonderful.l for workflow.

    I´m very poor. Please send my one unit the people that doesn´t use it. ;-)

    I've started wearing it very occasionally, and then nearly not at all.

    I had high hopes. It disappointed. For sports I don't need it. I'm a marathon runner, and I run with my iphone anyway, and keep my phone with me all the time, so what other data does the watch bring? I reach my steps quota anyway.

    For all the things where I had high hopes, the watch disappointed. The map connection in particular is not good enough when I bike. It's very often late, bringing me to pull out my phone. For notifications, it's usable, but compared to checking the phone, for my use, it's not a killer app, I can just live without.

    Finally, and that was the killer blow, my girlfriend disliked the thing. Not plain hatred, just a dislike for this dead screen at my wrist. She prefers 200% my usual classic time piece.

    So that's it. I'm pulling it out when I go out on long runs, where I prefer to check that screen and leave the phone in its holster. But the rest of the time, I've got an expensive beside clock.

    If you used to wear a watch on daily basis, I don't see why people would hate apple watch. It does so much more than a regular watch anyways.

  • stanhope - 8 years ago

    What I REALLY want is the ability to connect 2 apple watches to one iPhone!!!! I can't imagine that this isn't possible.

    I love my Apple watch. I totally feel naked without it. I have always worn a watch, but now my Casio has not seen any action. I am an avid bicyclist, I haven’t quite figured out how best to integrate the watch into my cycling, but for more casual exercise monitoring it is great, like a 1 mi. walk in the afteroon at work. It has encouraged me to do those and I now get HR data that I would not have otherwise. I like the fact that my steps are really captured. I have a Fitbit One that still gets worn at night to track my sleep, but that is it. I was always worried about loosing my Fitbit. I don’t ahve that problem with the watch. My biggest surprise is that Siri REALLY works on the watch. Simple things like setting a timmer and sending a text work and I always have the watch with me. Cntrolling the ATV (gen 2) with the remote app is nice and occasionally controlling iTues with the wach is nice. I regularly consult weather on my watch (Dark Skies or Weather Geek) and checking my calendar at work and email at work is nice. I have even done a few Dick Tracy style phone calls, again conveniet to quickly answer a call and not have to haul the phone out. Technology is a sore spot with my wife and she was concerned that the Apple Watch would make things worse; however, it has been better since most of the time I can leave my iPhone tucked away. OS 2 was a big improvement. THere are still times where I wait what seems like forever for an app to load, but most of the time it is ok. The app selection screen is a mess, nice to have Siri as an option for launching apps. Just like Apple did with computers (Mac), phones (iPhone) and tablets (iPad) this is a game changer.

    I gave away all my 3 watches and have been using my Apple Watch everyday since I bought it. This is now the only watch I own. I bought different bands to match any color of attire I have in anyday.

    Wear it every day and love it. Very happy with the purchase. I am a senior citizen (75 yrs old) and into health and fitness. The watch is a wonderful assistant. I feel like is have a cyber buddy reminding me about how much I have to move and recording my bike rides and walks with the dog. I enjoy the reminders about making sure I stand every hour and avoid prolonged sitting. Just learned about how damaging prolonged sitting is. That alone is worth the price of the watch.

    For $400 you're damn right I still wear it everyday????

  • Cory - 8 years ago

    I'm wearing it every day, but I mostly just use it for Siri & as a regular watch. The apps launch too slowly even with WatchOS 2. I shouldn't have broken my rule of never buying first generation products.

  • Philip M - 8 years ago

    Very happy with my Apple Watch (and so is my wife with hers). While at first I feared it to be too much of a gadget, it proved much more useful that that. Use it every day (and not only to tell the time).

  • Fidel López - 8 years ago

    I use it every day.. I don't love it but it's ok.. Could be better anyway..

  • Chris Cavanagh - 8 years ago

    Worn it since day one. Does exactly what it claimed to do (and more since watchOS2), and does it very well. Very happy with it :)

  • Raman - 8 years ago

    I hadn't worn a watch since I was 8, but I truly love my Apple Watch. I have four different 3rd party bands so it fits in with most anything I want to wear. Plan to buy v2 as soon as it is announced.
