I thought the same. I had no interest in the first generation Apple Watch. However, I decided to take a punt on the series 2 watch in January and I can't live without it. I have watches worth around £20,000 just sitting in a draw almost redundant as I don't wear them anymore. Apple Watch is one of those gadgets you don't realise how much you need & use it until you buy one. It's essential to me.
Totally agree. I like yourself, have old watches lying around and don't wear them now, as I get more use and also find my Apple Watch far more useful to me than a traditional watch. I'm only pleased I didn't pay a fortune for my old watches, as I would be gutted I'd spent all that money and now not getting use out of them.
I can't see me ditching a Smartwatch in favour of a traditional watch again anytime soon. I find the Apple Watch does everything for me and these are some of the reasons why I like the Apple Watch so much.
1: Notifications are so useful on the wrist.
2: Been able to act upon notifications and dictate texts, make calls on the wrist.
3: Set up reminders on the wrist.
4: Ask Siri things on the wrist.
5: Music controls on the wrist.
6: Fitness tracking. Granted the Apple Watch may not give you as much information as a dedicated fitness tracker, but with the fitness side in mind it ticks all the boxes for me.
7: Apple Pay. This is becoming more and more useful as time goes on as pretty much every shop I go into now, accepts Apple Pay/Contactless payments.

I use mine all day and when I put it on charge at night the battery has never been lower than around 87%.
Yeah I typically find I can get two full days out of my Series 2 Apple Watch, which is what I typically get out of my 7 Plus. Too be honest, two full days out of a device as small as the Apple Watch and with the usage I get out of it, I think is incredible.

It's one of the most genuinely useful gadgets I've ever bought, Apple Pay alone is worth the entry ticket.
Totally agree, I never tire of using Apple Pay on the Apple Watch, it's so useful and convenient, especially when you are carrying loads of shopping bags.
