To be thinking of getting an apple watch?

[Mrsstarlord]

As the title says really. Want a fitness tracker thing and to be able to play music without carrying home on a run.

It's not that much more than the high end fitness tracker things but seems to do a lot more.

Anyone have one?

[SnoogyWoo]

Yes and it's bloody awesome ??

I have one :) Wasn't that fussed but dh bought me one (my old watch had recently broken and my low-end fitness tracker was a bit of a pain with integrating with stuff).

I have to say that I've had a lot of fun with it. It's beautiful, nice to wear, love all the different watch face designs, tracks really well and integrates nicely with the iPhone and Health app.

Oddly, it's also meant that I don't check my phone quite as much because I know anything really important will ping the watch. That's quite nice - tech that feels quite unobtrusive.

I don't think it's anything revolutionary (at least not this generation), but in lots of nice little understated ways is very pleasing to use.

I got the cheapest Sport one, btw.

Thats good feedback, I'd be looking at that one RubberDuck.

Same here, DH wants to get me it, hadn't crossed my mind till today but having seen what it does I'm really impressed.

Does the voice recognition work OK?

[RubberDuck]

It works really well - I always used Siri on the phone to set timers etc because it was quicker than typing it on the screen and the watch copes with that fine. I've also dictated a text message on the watch and it got that correctly (although I haven't tested extensively, I might just have been lucky :D)

However, I do work from home so usually have a quiet environment. I have heard it finds it harder in noisy environments.

[Mrsstarlord]

Yes, it wasn't great in the shop which is why I wondered. I rarely use Siri as it doesn't understand my voice. Not sure why

Nice to hear positive feedback. Thanks

Haven't got one -but really want one!! Doesn't help you, just thought I'd say!

[RubberDuck]

You're welcome :)
