Do any reviews mention how well using the watch as a camera remote works?

Is watchOS 2 going to have a public beta like iOS 9 and El Capitan?

I've had mine since a week after release and it looks great even after bumping it against rocks a few times while hiking.

noirstronaut posted:I'm probably going to get an Apple Watch in the next few weeks. I'm looking at the Apple selection of bands and they're all pretty lovely, so my plan is to just get the Apple Watch (not Sport) and the cheapest 42mm and swap the band, but I don't know where to get some quality 3rd party bands. Anyone have some recommendations? This is an option then you can use any band with it: http://www.amazon.com/LUVVITT%AE-St...ch+band+adapter

I bought one but found it way too small and returned it. The 42mm is a great medium size.

I've found the 42 to have about another 60-90 min more of battery on average.

P0PCULTUREREFERENCE posted:Have any of you Watch-havers had any trouble with the new always-on "Hey Siri" feature? Whenever I raise my watch and say "hey Siri" it activates on both my watch *and* my phone - and then I get a response (usually the same response) from both. Same here. There's pretty much no reason to turn on Hey Siri if you have a watch too.

That's exactly the only difference. The sport still looks pretty nice imo but I'm not a fan of chrome.

Are there any good weightlifting apps? I'd just like something that lets me quickly peek at my routine. A rest timer and the ability to record reps/weight would be cool too.

Is there a reason why my Apple Watch never fills up the exercise ring when I select outdoor walk? I walked for 90 minutes and the ring didn't budge at all.

Tide posted:So, if one were to be in the market for the apple watch: for the next couple or three years, is the new series 2 or whatever they are calling it worth the premium over the current version if you have no need for the gps or waterproofing? I don't think the series 2 is worth it at all unless you swim a lot or want to track runs without the phone. They've also upgraded the series 1 Apple Watch so it's still better than the original with a faster processor.

I live in the hot rear end Central Valley, CA and I've never had trouble reading the display on the lowest brightness setting and with sunglasses on. The 42mm with sport band is also the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. I really think the series 1 or discounted first run Apple Watches are a much better value. I probably won't update mine until they introduce more health sensors.

The stainless steel one is heavier and has more durable screen glass otherwise it's all cosmetic.

I just installed iOS10 GM via the public beta program, but I'm curious how to get the watchOS. It isn't public for some reason. Installing the watchOS beta profile will get you it though.

Jimong5 posted:Is the original still decent or is the dual core pretty much needed for any serious user? I'm debating a new one but the fire sales on the old one could be pretty tempting It can take a while to open things sometimes but it's fine. I need to see some comparison videos to see if the duel core is really worth it.

I would have considered updating if watchOS 3 didn't speed up my old watch so much.

SaturdayKnight posted:Is there anything special about enabling the unlock with your watch feature? Because it's turned on and all it seems to do is make it take a few seconds longer for my computer to ask for my password. It has yet to actually unlock with my watch... I believe you need 2 step authentication to be enabled on your account as well.

LPG Giant posted:Is it me or do the message response snippets on the watch really suck? If someone ends a sentence in a questionmark, the first options should be yes and no. But it often just gives me random poo poo. Even more bizarrely, I once had it give me these options: yes, maybe, sure, ... They didn't even offer no! And the weird part is that the suggestions in iMessage on the iPhone are spot on, just on the watch they suck. Does it get better over time? I've only had it a couple of days. They do indeed suck and were actually better in watchOS 2. They worked more like you described there.
