Nothing would make me want to wear a watch again.

That was me a week ago. Last time I wore a watch was in middle school nearly 30 years ago.
Now I'm giving this thing a try.

For both of you: its great for exercise , calculating , tips , answering the phone while cooking etc.etc....also, sent me (correctly)to the ER for a medical condition (resolved). Only touching the surface here. Now, about those horseless carriage things (electric now?).....thats going too far!

I have yet to see a use case that would convince me to wear a lump on my wrist.
So far, I would actually not be interested even if it cost $99, or less!

I Was skeptical at first but I eventually purchased the watch and I don’t regret it. By far it is one of my top gadgets that I own.

Been on the smartwatch game since the Pebble. Not going back, love these things. Apple has done a great job.

Same - came from wearing a Pebble for years and switched to an Apple watch when it died.

If it wasn’t so damned fat; won’t fit under my shirt cuff - so I’m wearing a purely mechanical watch for aesthetic reasons instead 💁🏽‍♂️
The moment they introduce a 5 mm or thinner Watch (perhaps without all the blood measuring gadgets), though...

Yeah - maybe they make sometime an iphone mini ...

I honestly think the AW is more of a reason to stick with Apple than the iPhone is. Lots of nice android phones can work well and do everything you need them to as Android increasingly closeses the gap to iOS, but there is no close subsititute for how well the AW does its job.

I tried the note ultra and galaxy watch 3 and I missed the Apple Watch the most and main reason I’m back now it’s a deal breaker for me

Because Macrumours is such a font of knowledge?

im a truck driver, I was in Atlanta and my iPhone 10 died on me, used my watch to call the nearest apple store and the maps to get me there! my AW3 is indispensable! I own several mid tier Swiss mechanical watches and a gshock, I wear those on the left wrist and my Apple Watch on my right, every day!

I used to wear very thin watches, Seiko LaSalle, Skagens because I was always banging and scraping them when I did sound and light installations or network installs, now that I am retired that isn't important anymore. I was skeptical about how thick the AW was, but got used to it very quickly. I love my gold SS5, I got it for the fall alarm and the EKG. With the cellular if I ever went down on the bike and couldn't get my iPhone out of my pocket I can call 911 with a push of a button. I am amazed at how much the watch can do and how tech they crammed into such a small space. The feature I really use the most is Apple Pay, so nice not have dig out the wallet and cards. (Go to alot of drive throughs due to the pandemic!)
