A feature eh ,

JackClark

That took you a while! Do you realise how much revenue people like you make for these sites? Such a victim of marketing.

But on to the heart rate monitor, good for Apple for being prepared to take flack to ensure a more accurate reading, accuracy always wins over frequency in medical devices. Oh and if you want constant monitoring, you turn it on.

What was this marketing drive called "Beatgate"?? It doesn't take much click bait to get a moron on the line.

dpb

I did realise ,

Just couldn't believe how apple manage to put a good spin on just about every potential problem - just incredible

JackClark

I can't believe people like you care so much about non issues with devices they don't own, it's bizarre.

Matteeboy

Have they sorted Apple maps yet? I still use google maps on my iPhone.

JackClark

I only use Apple Maps, travel extensively and to date have made it there and back. Tried Google Maps after someone sent me a link that opened in the app, not bad but not as well integrated.

Matteeboy

I'll give it another go then.
Both cars have good Satnav but I still use it for working out routes.

JackClark

Definitely give it another go, there are areas where Google will be better and areas where Apple will be better that's just going to happen, see what works for you. I also carry an old TomTom on big trips just in case I can't get data.

Matteeboy

The BM has built in nav which is pretty good.
We use a Garmin Nuvi (top end one) in the Subaru - superb nav but SO obviously modelled on an iPhone in shape, materials and style!

JackClark

I read this and agree

When people ask what I like about it - and they ask often - I always say "not reaching for my phone" the other parts are good, great even, but the extra time the watch has given me is the best.

......watch revealed a text from The Doctor, aka my mom. (Long story.) “U busy?” it read. “Can I call?”



Says it all really

Tidgy

fpmsl

only an isheep could write that lol

JackClark

It's your future, you're still in denial about the iPhone changing your life, there's still time for you to grasp it.

dpb

Must admit its difficult to believe your old mam owns an iwatch

jonc

As a sport watch it pretty fragile. A Casio (a much derided brand by fanboys) G-Shock can take far more abuse!

JackClark

He's as big an idiot as you.

JackClark

Nice swim tracking app if that's your bag.

ambit2s does same thing afaik

dpb

also does away from pool of course

JackClark

A slave standing on the side of the pool does the same, just as relevant.

Matteeboy

Open water swimming is great with it. Not tried the pool yet but it should be good.
Interestingly (ish) Suunto have just released a major update for the Ambit 2 - pretty good for an "old" model. It has all sorts of new stuff like a storm warning.

I've been surfing loads and not running, cycling or swimming all that much so haven't actually used mine a lot in the last month. Surfing every day isn't bad exercise though; you can get a surfing app - measures the length of your waves but I can't really be bothered with it.

JackClark

Storm warning I can totally understand, Dark Skies is spookily good with rain, sometimes down to the minute and on your wrist!

Shaun

I've got one now and I like it.

JackClark

Sheep.

Still like mine too, switched to the right wrist, Apple Pay will be awkward on the left.

dpb

Won't that chafe a bit.!?

JackClark

Step away, Tidgy is wearing the dunce hat this week.

Tidgy

you called

but of course its all lies and apple stuff never goes wrong,,,,,,,,, lol

All hail apple, all hail apple,,,,,,

JackClark

No no Tidgy, you may recall my Macbook had a catastrophic failure, it was a £2500 machine so I was very unhappy. Even at four years old it was still a fantastic machine so I didn't want to lose it. I popped into the Apple store and they fixed it for free, major component replacement. My Macbook is still a fantastic machine.

Tidgy

At £2500 and 3 times the price i would expect the warrenty to be good hahaha.

i will admit though that replacing it after that long is good going.
