after an extensive research into smart watch and now owning a series 4 44mm, i can see why apple watch are so popular. too bad there is no android app else this would sell alot more
Outstanding. Wearables is the future for Apple and the watch is paving the way for health features. It will only continue to flourish from here, Bring on Series 5.
Actually, I’ve found the Apple Watch really useful for communicating with my autistic son.
We used to have problems, me calling upstairs for him because he’d be listening to the same 8 seconds of a song, over & over, or lost in his head and hearing nothing. Got him the Series 0 shortly after it came out and now I can tap him with messages, which he responds to without problem. We both have Series 1s.
Even helped me find him when I lost him at Disneyland for a bit.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
