Well, it has been one week and I must say I absolutely love my watch!! It has grown to be a part of me and I did not know just how useful it would be when I ordered it, but a few things that have blown me away are:
• Battery Life: I take it off the charger every day around 6:30am and do not put it back on until I am about to get into bed around 11:30pm at night, and in the first 7 days, the lowest my battery has been at the end of the day has been 48%. Has far exceeded my expectations on that.
• Since getting my watch, I barely use my phone though out the day anymore, I am so used to checking it all the time to see if there are any new texts, emails, notifications, etc but now most of the time when I am at home, It sits on the counter and is not even with me in the house and at work it sits on my desk, so my phone battery now from morning till night is still around 80% when I put it back on the charger. I may actually stop charging daily so I can allow the battery to drop more before charging.
• Responding to text via voice on this watch as been flawless, it dictates exactly what I say and have had no errors so far
• Taking calls on my watch, I honestly thought “I will never use this feature” and in public I never would, but at home several times I have taken a call while sitting on the couch since my phone is on the counter and it has been so natural, do not even have to hold the watch up the whole time which is nice
• I now stand up every hour and find myself keeping track of my steps more, which is really nice
So far I have had really no issues and really the only complaint I have so far like many is the display does not stay on long enough, but as many have said, I expect the first software update from Apple I am sure will have a new setting for this. I do hope we get some more faces for the watch at some point as well, but overall, I love this watch!!
