You can also set Now Playing as a larger complication on some faces. I use it as the central one on Modular sometimes.

I really don't care what song is playing I'd just like a simple play/pause button on the face I can tap when someone comes over to bug me while I'm working.

Now, it's all hosed up, and the only way to recreate that convenience (without resorting to using one of the few watch faces with a large complication slot) is to buy AirPods. What a coincidence!

Watch OS4 and ios11 are the holy pair of dog poo poo Apple releases. It sucks you can't downgrade your watch OS or I would have gone back to OS3+ios10 when they were still being signed.

So to confirm you can store music locally on your watch--as well as back up music via apple music if you have a subscription to listen to without a connection? I'm really invested into spotify so not being able to backup playlist is a bummer but if you can simply backup songs to the watch a la the clip-on ipod nano and listen via bluetooth headphones then that should work well enough. Does anyone feel the cellular option is not worth it or is the convenience too nice? I'm not exactly a power user or businessman but the basic functionality and principle still seems cool. $10/month isn't a lot but eh

Umm I have no idea how it works without Apple Music but the way it works if you have a subscription is you can sync playlists to the watch. It's also SUPPOSED to auto-sync whatever you listen to frequently when your watch is charging but I've found it extremely unreliable lately.

By the way, you should have roughly 4 GB free for music on the watch. Plus or minus, depending on what else you load, like apps and pictures. On an S1 at least, not sure if newer ones have more storage.

sorry I meant when you have poo poo backed up to your computer and iphone for local music listening via itunes, not loading poo poo from your PC > watch. I only use itunes for music management of songs on my phone so sorry for the confusion so without apple music if I have music saved locally to my iphone I can save that music to my watch and say go for a run without my phone and listen via BT?

Yes. Edit: Technically the last time I did it without an Apple Music sub, I did have an iTunes Match sub, but I can’t imagine that mattered. WithoutTheFezOn fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Jan 23, 2018 |

Does the apple watch need a screen protector? I'm paranoid the screen is going to scratch. If so, can anyone recommend one? Amazon reviews are hit and miss.

The caveat is if you have particular work or recreational environments that might put it at risk. Like I go to a rock climbing gym regularly and have found out the walls can scratch sapphire and DLC coatings  . When I climb now I use a case thing with sufficient lip around the screen (mostly cause I’ve cracked a screen due to impact too  ) but no screen protector. I have a few minor scrathes that I don’t really notice or care about.In any case figure out if you might want one in the first place, then just scour online shops and read reviews for a while. There’s a billion cheap options out there (...albeit nothing really matched what I was looking for).

Why does the camera app on the watch suck so much rear end? Like 50% of the time the thing doesn’t even load right. Also why can’t we use it to start a video recording?

I was gifted a space grey series 3 + cell at a work function. Killer present in my opinion, so I’m happy with it and I’m keeping it. Some questions I have because I have followed this technology absolutely none and never expected to have one: -It’s a 38mm and I’m a guy. That being said, my wrists are probably in the bottom 3% as far as size goes for healthy humans. I just have naturally tiny wrists and ankles, so this fits me perfectly. I’m assuming these watches are all unisex and after trying on my coworkers 42 I’m glad I got the smaller one. Will I be the only guy ever with one? -How the heck does the WiFi work? If it’s within Bluetooth distance of my phone, is it leeching my phones WiFi or connecting on its own? What about on things like hotel or secure WiFi where a code or login was required? Does my phone naturally share WiFi passwords with my watch and are they saved for when my phone isn’t around? The whole flowchart of when and where this thing gets it’s data is confusing to my thirty something farty brain. -I’m not on an unlimited plan, should I give up now on that working out and upgrade now that my wrist is yet another internet thing?

See if you actually need to enable the mobile network before doing so. It's kind of rare for most people to be out and about without their phones, so it's rarely an added value.

No, wear whichever you like. In most cases, the watch only uses WiFi to connect to your iphone, and only if the BT connection cant work. This may help https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204562. There are some things the watch can do on WiFi/LTE that don’t require your phone, this page lists them https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205547 Can’t help you on the data plan advice.

The whole flowchart of when and where this thing gets it’s data is confusing to my thirty something farty brain. your phone shares wifi connection information with your watch, so that if you walk away from your phone and BT disconnects, it can use those networks to talk to the phone. Earlier WatchOS had an issue where the watch would hop on odd networks with captive logins that didn't work, but that was apparently fixed. don't worry about your data plan. you're not watching HD netflix streams on your wrist.

38 is fine for men with salad arms. 42s seem gigantic. Only way I’d get a 42 is if the actual body got a decent amount smaller

Yeah 42 was a tiny bit of a downsize from my daily watch when I first got mine but it just seems right now. I imagine the same feeling goes along with the 38. jk when I spot people with the 38 I shove them into a trash can

I wish my 42mm was a little bigger. But I'm not a tiny child, so I have normal man-sized wrists

I like the activity tracking and that I don’t have to carry my phone around the house. I’d probably spring for the cellular version and leave my phone at home a lot if it worked on my carrier and was a little cheaper a month than it is. I could actually see owning only a watch and not having a phone at all once voice assistants get better.

I like the fitness tracking features a lot. I actually didn’t even consider those functions initially - I bought it for more of the notification and phone integration poo poo. I also like that it unlocks my computer though I sometimes feel a little  paranoid about that. As I’ve told friends/family, the Apple Watch is definitely not a must buy but it has a lot of neat integrations. I bought mine on sale and am happy with it. I’d probably get another.
