️ 44mm in blue and love it!! Has anyone on here recently taken the plunge and bought themselves their first Apple watch? Hopefully the series 6? This is what I am intending to do!

£509 is a lot of dough to splash for me when I own a Omega already (and yes an iphone).
Thank you for your reply. I am looking at buying the Nike watch as 1) mainly buying the watch for running and listening to music etc and 2) I like the Nike straps which have the small circular hole design. Allowing the skin to 'breathe'! I think I will pay the extra £100 and go for the cellular. You never know when it might come in handy, and I think it would be a shame not to have this feature.
Thank you for your reply. Yes I hear what your saying about the charging but I own an iphone and am use to the daily charging. It doesn't really bother me, as I just put the device on charge when I go to bed by my bedside table. Then it is all ready to go the following morning when I wake up. I like to think the s6 watch will last me a whole day (including a 60min work out). Interesting about the return policy, where did you buy it from? I would likely buy mine from John Lewis (excellent customer service). That said, once you have worn the device you cannot return it, unless it is faulty.
Thank you for your reply. Surely the ios14 will be sorted out soon? What are your favourite apps? Do you feel 32GB is sufficient storage? I ask as I understand that includes ones music too.
Wonderful! I like the navy colour too but I also like the Nike straps so I am likely going to get the Nike watch. I have never owned a Fitbit, but having been running 3-4 times a week for the last six months and thus would so enjoy having an Apple watch and be free of wires too! Have you got the Airpods Pro out of interest for listening to music whilst using the watch? Regarding the sleeping, I currently use Sleep Cycle on my iphone which is probably not as good as the data the Apple watch tells you, but still interesting. Also it means you don't have to wear the watch when you go to bed. Something I would do. Are you finding the brightness of the screen ok and battery life?ME! I got the AW6️ 44mm in blue and love it!!
I was using a Fitbit Charge 3 previously. The ability to interact with the iPhone properly and not just get notifications is great. I use an app called AutoSleep to track my sleep the same way the Fitbit did. I think the AW6 tracks my steps and floors better.
Everyone here is very helpful if you have questions on how to use it.
I went for cellular as I thought I’d find it very useful when doing sport. I do a lot of sport, and the truth is that I still take my phone with me pretty much every time. I tried leaving the phone at home, but found the smaller components within the AW meant poorer reception capability when out running/cycling in the countryside. The only time I don’t take the phone is when I’m doing a race.
I notice that O2 offer a number of options, including the Nike AW6 and 6-SE) with zero upfront if that interested you....

I use the Timer, workout and Stopwatch apps the most. When I first got a series 2 I used the Music app and then, in one the Watch OS updates they removed it and then added it back later. Since then I only use the Now Playing app on the watch to adjust the volume. On the Apple Watch Series 6 I now have I haven’t really tried the Music app much, but it no longer seems to work for music on my phone. Another gift from iOS 14 perhaps. Adding Music to the watch is on an album by album basis. You can’t add an Artist. I’ve changed the setting to Recently Played in the hope they will transfer over to my Watch, though I admit, this is more about testing what works and what doesn’t work. I don’t think I’d ever use the Music app again. It seems to me to be too much hardwork and fiddly and, even when it did work when I got my first Apple Watch I used it more for the novelty of it rather than it being helpful or useful. Messages on the Watch are handy but I hardly ever reply using the watch. I’ve started using Wallet on the watch a bit more but the position of some card readers in shops mean it’s much quicker and easier to use the phone. I find Siri fairly useless but have found it handy on the watch sometimes for starting a timer or setting a reminder. It’s always been there but I want to use the voice recorder more for notes or ideas.
