Hi all. Apologies if this is something that has been discussed...I’ve watched the keynote and have been doing some research but haven’t been able to find an answer to my question, which is this: does anyone know whether alphanumeric passcodes work any differently on the LTE watch than they do currently?
My situation is this: my work email forces me to use an alphanumeric passcode on my iPhone, which is generally fine, but the one issue I have with it is the fact that I need my iPhone nearby in order to unlock my Watch (via the iPhone’s Touch ID). Every now and then, my watch thinks it’s disconnected from my wrist when it hasn’t, which is annoying when my iPhone isn’t readily nearby. Basically this means I don’t have access to the Watch until I have my iPhone handy again.
With an Apple Watch that now has the ability to be more independent of the iPhone, has anyone heard how it will handle this type of situation? It’d really suck if, during the (albeit rare) times my Watch thinks it’s disconnected from my wrist, or if I need to take it off for some other reason, I then become cut off from it until I get back to my iPhone. I’d be interested in the LTE version for going on walks without having to have my iPhone with me, but if I need my iPhone in order to always unlock the Watch, that would not work so well...
If you guys have heard anything I’d love to know!
