Apps Love the new 10

[Barbareren]

Still sporting an AW 4, hehe, can you believe it??? Loving the features of the new one (10) - definitely gonna get it 👍 The larger display, and especially the speakers is what matters the most to me (big podcast listener)… Seems like a major upgrade to me - like from iPhone 7 to iPhone X… 🤷‍♂️ What do you guys think? (Anyway I’m definitely getting one, lol. Don’t care about the Ultra at all)

Btw, if you get the SIM card version, can you practically leave your phone at home without losing any important information/calls/texts/emails/etc.? Sorry for the newbie questions…

Yes, when I go for a walk I usually leave my phone home. I've got music, wallet, cellular and notifications on the watch. Only when I'm driving do I need the phone, it's got my license on it. I rarely take my traditional (leather) wallet with me anymore.

Thanks man, that’s very helpful. However, do you know if you could order an Uber (etc.) from the Watch alone (GSM)? The thing is that I don’t own a car anymore, so I use these kind of services quite often…

I haven't checked lately, but I don't think there is an Uber app for the watch.

I see. Well, my watch is old AF (Series 4) but the Uber works on it - in the way that it shows me when the pickup is etc., but I can’t use it like I do on my phone… I was hoping that it was different now… guess not then…

The watch does mirror notifications from Uber (and many other apps), but there is no app and you can't book an Uber.

Thanks man, that’s exactly what I was wondering about… Even my old AW does that, so I was was wondering if the new one
had features more similar to the iPhone…

I was just, naively, hoping that the new Apple Watch could let me leave my phone at home while going out…

I think you need to petition Uber in this case, not Apple.

Uber killed off their standalone Apple Watch in 2022

Unfortunate, because it was pretty useful if you had the cellular version and just wanted to take your watch for a night on the town.
