Wearing an Apple Watch has been uneventful.
So far the most used function is to unlock my computer which takes about the same as me typing in the password.
Most annoying part is having to charge another device. Yes, I don't miss having to charge another gadget.
In ideal world I wish I could leave the phone at home and just rely on Apple watch for all my communication needs but that's far from that. For example my gym has an app with a barcode to sign in but no apple watch version. So I need to bring my phone anyways. And if I have my phone I don't need apple watch.
Navigating with apple maps and watch displays the turns with taps on the wrist to remind you. I like that as it is useful not to miss the exit.
Overall I am underwhelmed. I think I will use the watch for tracking fitness classes and sleep but from my previous experience having that data does nothing in reality. In my opinion living worry free has much greater impact on a good nights sleep.
Until Apple Watch can replace my phone it is not that useful. And currently it does not so if you want to free yourself from iPhone and migrate to the Watch current state of things does not allow it.
However as a discrete notification device Apple Watch delivers. With ringer off I still get taps on my wrist for calls and messages that need not be missed and that is useful.
I have tested Apple Watch SE gen2 44mm, Apple Watch SE gen2 40mm and Stainless Series 8 41mm. I have to say that having a display on all the time makes the watch so much more useful that in retrospect I would skip SE for missing that feature all together. And smaller size of "ladies" watch is just fine for me as I prefer not to wear gargantuan timepieces lately in fashion. In this case less is more.
