I'm an upstanding white collar professional and think tattoo sleeves are pretty rad. Would likely give a lot of respect to someone who climbs corporate heights with a sleeve. I also think chicks with sleeves are pretty hot as well.

I'm basing my decision to wait on history. The differences between the iPad 1 and 2 as well as the iPhone 1 and 2 were enormous.

Re-bought it after WatchOS 2.0 and the Best Buy deal. It's worth it at the cheap price but under no circumstances would I recommend paying full price for one. IMO, this is also the current state of Android Wear. I had the Moto 360v1 for a while and found I was just using it for notifications. I picked up the Garmin Vivoactive for a song and it's been tremendous. Ten day battery life, ability to do accurate GPS for all activities, and straightforward and simple notification mirroring. It's not fancy, it's not pretty, but it's great. Anxiously waiting for iWatch 2.0 with built in GPS and better battery though. I'll drop for that.

So what's the real scoop on the base choices. Is there a meaningful difference between the aluminum and the stainless that I should consider? Trying to decide if the best choice is to pick up the 42mm sport and find a good third party band that I like or if paying up for the stainless has value.

You can get Applecare at Best Buy right? May be worth a reserve there.

Kept periodically checking the website but not adding to the Bag, there's a link to checking store availability. Before I left for lunch there was nothing within 150 miles of me, just randomly checked again and one store had a big green available icon. So just keep checking I guess.

How's apple on returns/swaps within the 14 days. Somehow I already got a light scratch on the lower part of the glass. Will they swap it or not likely? I do have Applecare so could always pay for the swap down the road but if I'm in some magic 14 day period I want to take advantage of that.

Jesus I never thought being able to take phone calls from the watch would be a killer feature. Conference calls (I have an office that I can shut the door so I'm not a total prick who makes everyone listen to them) have never been so great.

Is this a controllable behavior? I'm new to the Apple Watch with my S2. When I receive a message (or any notification really) my watch will ding but nothing out of my phone. No lighting up the display or anything. Can I change a setting somewhere so that way I receive the notification on both? I'd like my phone to wake as well as the watch.

comper posted:I don't know if there's a setting for this but I'm genuinely curious as to why you want this to happen. Perhaps it's a matter of getting used to the watch, but I spend a good portion of my day with my phone on my desk face up and if for whatever reason I don't notice the watch notification I wouldn't catch it on my phone. I've missed several because of it. I want to say when I was an Android user and had a Moto 360 it notified both so I'm a bit used to that behavior. I suppose I need to get used to relying on the watch for notifications.

comper posted:Fair enough. I'm in a similar situation, though I've gotten used to keeping my phone in my pocket now and only taking it out for something I actually need to respond to with a full keyboard when I see it come in through the watch. For me, I'd be annoyed if both notified me at the same time which is why I was curious. I do love that aspect and was just driving around when I realized what the biggest change is for me. When I have Waze up the phone is active so my watch never buzzes or anything on my commutes/drives. Not that I want to be managing alerts while driving but being aware my wife sent me a text can trigger me to call her. I have long drives so it's sometimes a problem to wait 60 minutes or so to see I needed to tend to something. I shall adapt!

TFlash Gordon Ramsay posted:Is Waze that much better than using Maps for driving directions? One of my favorite watch features is how the watch will vibrate like a turn signal when a turn is coming up. That's a nice feature that I haven't played with but Waze is far better in my opinion. It's realtime routing around hazards / traffic ahead continues to amaze me. When I go against it 90% of the time I regret not listening to it as I watch the traffic fly by on the local/express where it told me to switch to. Plus I can easily send my ETA to my wife so she knows when to expect me.

If I want to use my bluetooth headphones with my Apple watch when I'm out running is there an easy way to toggle between the phone or watch with them or do I have to re-pair everytime I switch?

Oh sweet, very nice. Didn't realize that my headset had multi-pair functionality. I had to reboot my watch though as it wouldn't pair. That worked and now I'm on my way. Still not as clean of a handoff as I'd prefer (it only has Forget device as an option on the watch, not disconnect and I have to select connect after turning my headphones on, it won't auto connect) but I can deal with it!

I went for a run yesterday and left my phone at home. Strava froze up on me but the activity app went strong the whole way. Does Strava (or all running/cycling apps) still require the phone? Is this a limitation or app developer limitation? Sucks since if it didn't happen on Strava it didn't happen...

Ah so third parties cannot access the GPS, that's the issue. I also use Strava primarily for cycling but my friends on it (IRL ones mostly) also enjoy running so we talk about our activities. Good to have in one place. Plus Strava has some cool third party visualization tools to fart around with.

Anyone use a protective case for workouts that they can recommend? I'm interested in picking one up and then swap out for the rest of the day. Just want to prevent scuffs and scratches from a potential rub of a weight or kettlebell or something.

I do have it but figure if I can steer away from the highest risk stuff that'd be good. I did get a scratch on the case in the first few days so a little sensitive about it. Cannot say it happened during workout though. Good news is that I found a replacement S2 before my 14 days was up so got a brand new one.

S2 42MM at 77%. Off charger 7 hours, worked out for an hour (Other activity, unsure if GPS is active at that time). On days I workout I usually get it back on the charger after 18-19 hours with 25-35% left. This thing is a beast and loving it.

Also for me. Takes a gently caress load of time on my S2. What's weird is that I've had mine reboot spontaneously from time to time. Usually when messaging back and forth and using emoticons or the new fanciness.

Mattavist posted:It will use whatever WiFi your phone is already on. Will have to try it at home then, because it's not working at our office. We have a 'personal' wifi that we login to and it's not handing off to the watch when I turn off bluetooth. Likely that it won't allow a device that hasn't directly authenticated with. It's not one of those splash pages that you get when you login to a hotel but an actual U/P prompt when you connect with a pop-up from the system. Thanks

Duckman2008 posted:Yup, I was connected to hotel wifi so that makes way more sense. My bad. Just to note, that's still cool as hell. You can head down to the pool and do your thing without having to monitor your phone. Just hit a swim with no attachments and still get updates from your family/significant other if needed.

I used a Moto 360 v1 briefly with iPhone a year ago. It was a miserable experience. No custom watch faces and the stock ones were terrible. Worked well enough for notification mirroring but that's it. No interaction with apps at all. Was like using 10% of it compared to using it with Android. Get an Apple watch. It's great. S0,1, or 2. Just don't go Wear on iOS.

I will bite, I'm interested in sleep tracking. Is there a way to do it natively or have to use an app? Hoping that the twenty minutes or so it ready in the morning is enough to chug along throughout the week. I do workout 3-4 times a week so i may get lower usage than y'all but am really surprised by this voodoo battery life.

Endless Mike posted:There's no native sleep tracking since Apple expects you to dock it at night but there's plenty of apps for it. It only really needs like one hour if charging total per day so you should be fine Thanks, I picked up Sleep++ and trying that out. Seems to work pretty well. I'm looking at some third-party activity tracking apps (Under Armour Record for a start) and am curious as to how much it interacts with the built in Activity app. - I see the UA app can use the built-in HRM, but not the GPS. That's a restriction for all third party apps, yes? - How will it behave when I complete a workout. Will it funnel all the important data to the activity app and notify my shared contacts? I have a bit of a challenge going with a friend so we like to see eachothers workouts/etc. Would I lose that capability? - If it doesn't send the data to the activity app for alerting others, will the activity app pull on the data it records to calculate the calorie totals and other activity goals? Appreciate any insights!

Got to say i'm very impressed - i've never held Apple's own by comparison and from the pictures this looks a bit less refined and more rugged, but it feels like a quality item and better than the cheapy Amazon jobby i received and sent straight back. C'mon flaps, where's the link?
