I’ve bought an Apple Watch Series 6 LTE, and I’ve noticed that my screen-time has decreased a lot. I feel that I’m not that addicted to my iPhone.
I feel more free when I go for a walk or shopping wearing just my watch. Now I can left my iPhone at home.
What about you?
I leave my phone at home. If I’m home I’m on an iPad if I need to be online. My phone has become a base station for my watch.
Which iPad do you use? I currently have a 12.9 Pro for work, but I feel it’s too big to use comfortably without a desk. Still great for travel though.
I’ve been looking at the iPad Mini to add to the set, but worried it might be too redundant.
I bought an Air. My girlfriend has one so I got to fondle hers before I pulled the trigger. I am very happy with it. M1 iPad without the higher refresh rate and pro camera of the Pro’s. Zero regrets.
I have pondered the Mini also but if I all of a sudden needed an in-between size I would probably buy a max size phone. I do prefer the standard iPad size for web consumption though.
I wish AW had support for:
-Uber/Lyft
-Apple CarPlay
-Picking up a Target 🎯 Drive Up Order
-Camera
Yep! Checking time and messages has been so much easier, and being able to run to the store or just walk around the block without my phone is amazing. I wasn’t much of a phone user before, but this definitely cut screen time down by a good chunk
I have a non LTE version but it does too, the Watch is in my pocket, unused
Nope. Not even a little. If anything it’s actually increased it because I want to keep tabs on my activity numbers.
Pixel Watch/Phone user here … Nope, use the phone probably even more. The only reason for the watch is to track sleep, and wear when cycling in case of an emergency
No I’m always afraid I’ll want to snap a pic and I’m on socials all the time
Sorry to hear that.
Sounds like a miserable approach to life.
Always thought it doesn’t worth, but after having a Ultra it has changed my mind. Love to go to groceries, to run, walks, without my phone, listening to music, podcasts.
I’d be more inclined to leave my phone at home if Meta would release a WhatsApp Apple Watch app. I know there are third party apps, such as Watch Chat 2 but they all feel very clunky. Last part of the puzzle IMO
I see your point. Luckily me and my family use iMessage instead
I leave my iPhone at home when I walk the dogs, go walking and if I go out during work. Even though the 15 Pro Max is lighter, it’s still a heavy beast.
I sadly can’t use cellular on my cellular aw since apple doesn’t allow to have different contracts for the phone and aw :/ The moment I put a different sim in the iphone the sim on the aw gets disabled
I’ve had my Ultra 2 for a month or so now and I’ve found myself trying to be more “daring” by leaving my phone at home. Unfortunately, like a lot of people, when it’s work hours, I gotta have my phone for emails and the such, but it’s been a nice release to leave it at home when I take the dog for a walk or leave the house for a bit.
I’ve found a couple issues with trying to use my watch without my phone. 1) I always seem to want my camera when I don’t have it; 2) you can’t create/ edit a note or ask Siri to make a note from the watch, even when it’s connected to the phone; 3) if you want to make/ take a phone call in public, you better have your AirPods with you.
Definitely. Usually leave my phone in the office during lunch now or for late night walks. So nice knowing I can remain in touch if need be but be free from my phone for a bit.
How far can you get from the phone? I didn’t think that the distance was that dar
I didn’t get an LTE watch as I could not envision a reason to not bring my phone with me whenever I go some where.
