I have had my Apple Watch since June, and last week I had a line of pixels, vertically, just go out. So, as of Friday, it's in for repairs. Now, without it, I am realizing all the things I miss!
First thing I miss is workout tracking. This was huge. I could see my circles fill up and I felt a sense of satisfaction watching that. I'm less motivated to go workout without it; I know that sounds silly perhaps, but it's true.
Second, I hate getting my phone out of my pocket for basic stuff. Basic Siri commands, checking the weather, looking at my messages or notifications, all of that is now way more involved than it was last week.
Third, if I get up to run to somewhere else in the house, if I forget my iPhone, I now won’t get notifications and calls. The Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) is real!
Finally, Pay with the iPhone is clunky in comparison. This one is self-explanatory. Now I have to get my iPhone out and pay with that rather than a double-tap and swipe the watch near the sensor.
Just some thoughts. #FirstWorldProblems ... yes, yes, I know. So, that's it from me. Thought I'd share.
