they should make one with a plastic case instead of the garbage aluminum for the low end. it would look and feel much better.

If you are going to drop 1500 bucks on a watch you could do worse op as long as you like "computer person" aesthetics

OS is a pos tho, and the development for it is in javascript, no access to whatever is underneath. still it's good enough to make little apps or custom watch faces so, and poo poo like sleep metrics is cool 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'll probably get a Versa (1) or lite, alexa support for versa 2 makes me not want it

Apple Watch apps are impressively bad, I think many have been abandoned already. Tap the icon and a circle sits in the middle of the screen with circling dots forever.

You can sometimes receive images on iMessage or Whatsapp but they appear highly blurred at like 1/4 resolution. Weird stuff like you can receive a Whatsapp message and reply, but there is no way to send a new message.

I'm still perplexed that the Nike watch default screen has a link to the Apple fitness app and not Nike, and any exercise you track on one is not available in the other.

If you have the weather complication on you can select to view other cities but no means are made to change the one on the watch face unless you use the iPhone app. They do provide a swipe to delete, and a link to add a new city.

MacOS unlock is handy though, especially as the default setup loves to timeout authentication so quickly.

i watched the apple show about the watch and they're pitching them mostly as medical devices i guess? seems weird but whatever, i'm not mad about it or anything.

things happen, yknow, accidents. sometimes a guy is walking along and bam out of nowhere he’s on his rear end with a broken hip bone. it would be a real shame if something like that ever happened around here and there wasn’t an Apple Watch around to see it, you know what I’m saying?
