But it does not have the red second hand...I need that in my life
I sent an example to John Gruber asking him to suggest it to Phil Schiller

 

That's different, the zoom is limited as it is on Google Maps, when navigating.

 

That's not too far fetched, they already paid 20'odd million to use it on iOS.

 

the zoom out ? , not as far as I could tell

 

Well I suppose the difference here is between a pretty bracelet that essentially repeats whats in your pocket

and something that supplies hard data - independently

 

Completely forgetting the garmin's dependency on a chest strap.

 

Need the strap for the bike - don't like to keep watch on the wrist

of course it doesn't work that well for the underwater cycling

 

Isn't it linked to your phone ??

 

accelerometer

 

Gyro/Accelerometer needs to know how much you've turned.

 

and apparently apple hr doesn't work so well on the bike ...





( along with others)

 

need pair it with this , for accuracy

I'm sure there are more accurate HRM's but this one is on and working for 16 hours a day, it's saving lives.

Strava HR analysis is pants, but that changes with OS3 when direct access is allowed.

 

The world has gone mad.lol

Was wondering today about the benefits of having steering wheel volume control in my car when the stereo is about 12 inches to the left.Oh, and voice control too just in case.

Don't see the benefits of the watch at all really?

 

Well it looks posh, and apparently it saves lives.

 

The steering wheel controls are to save you looking down when you're racing down the motorway at 155mph .. the voice control at the moment is more of Phone advantage I find, I wouldn't try and scroll through my phone list via the menu when driving, but I press the voice button and say "call home" and pretty much 10/10 times it phones the correct contact.

As for the watch, work bought me an iPhone 6s so I thought sod it and for me the message/email display on the watch are exactly what I need. I spend my life in meetings so a quick glance lets me know if I need to excuse myself without having to check my phone. I also look after a 24/7 team, so when I'm not in work I can see what's going on and if I need to get in touch without being logged on, or going through emails, takes me less than 3 seconds to flick my wrist see the title and carry on.

Very good. I need to start using the heart beat monitor in the gym

 

Fanboi

 

The heart rate integration with Strava really is trash, HealthKit on the iPhone has a much better picture, but Strava does a bad job of reading it - probably not their fault - Watch OS3 will fix that but I suspect battery life will suffer.

 

and you cant be doing with that ..!


does it make it through an average day as it is ??

 

I've managed two days, but it's tight.

 

got about a week before charging this thing , been using it for 3

 

The Apple watch has an energy saving mode that gives weeks of use, unfortunately that use is comparable to your Garmin at that point.

This one's got gps , as well

 

Why are people so negative on here ? the guy wanted an Apple Watch, his money so he can do what he wants with it!. my friend has an Apple Watch and it's a good bit of kit! Wears it everyday (at work) and there's not a mark on it. Obviously won't be everyone's cup of tea but that's life. If someone owns something that I wouldn't buy I wouldn't abuse them though.

 

Abuse ??!!

Just looking sensibly alternatives

 

Okay mate abuse is probably the wrong word! I've had a few watches over the years and when it comes to the battery going I never bother replacing them..I'm tempted with an Apple Watch but the only thing holding me back is the fact that I've got everything on my iPhone

looks like the new watch could actually be useful this time

 

More useful for sure and faster doesn't hurt.

The ceramic looks incredible but a bit pricy.

 

The regular one , 369 pounds

Comes with a woven Nylon strap .

Only thing I know about nylon is it goes home in the sun !!

 

Mine was £320 18 months ago, blame Brexit. The rubber band has been great, I'd worry about the smell, mine gets very sweaty.
