Eek!
I've been an Apple consumer since 1992, but I don't think I've felt this "newbie" since getting my first iPhone in 2010... (How embarrassing - I had to look up how to turn the iPhone 3GS on!)
The Apple Watch was something that I looked at when it first arrived, and thought - Nope, never going to need that - gave up wearing a watch when I got my first smart phone. (Reminds me, gotta find that Citizen Eco; probably worth $200 on eBay).
I have however just purchased a Series 3 Apple Watch on eBay for AU$137. From my minimal research, I gathered that this series was still reasonably functional, and not too slow, but also has things like heart rate monitoring (seems like a good idea) and also has ApplePay which I currently use regularly with my iPhone 8.
But honestly other than that, I know little about the Watch...
Will I be talking into my Watch like Michael Knight?

Do I still need to use finger print ID on my iPhone to complete an Apple Pay transaction with the Watch?
What are some things that I can use this piece of kitt for?
Cheers and thanks
