Am I the only one here that has an Apple Watch?

OK I admit I've had one since early June.

All in all I like it.

I use it for notifications of messages, email and news apps.

Saves using the iPhone and the iPhone battery life is much greater as a result.

In addition to ApplePay I also like Shazam which is much easier to use than on the iPhone.

I do look forward it Apple Watch OS2 and native apps. 

I think that will really open up it's capabilities.

I have the Stainless 42mm version. I had the Classic Buckle but swapped it for

Black Leather Loop as it offers finer size adjustment.

Bottom line for me is "Thumbs Up".

I am debating about getting an apple watch. Most likely when the 2nd Gen comes out. I have a fitbit charge hr but unfortunately, I am one of the few people that gets a skin abrasion or little rash from the bands. I will have to look up the material to see if the apple watch will cause the same discomfort.

The nice thing is the Apple Watch comes in many configurations. I own one and really enjoy it.

Every time I read the subject of this thread, I always want to answer...Yes, in response.

I want to get one...next gen.

 

Even if Apple doesn't add a camera (don't want/need one), extended battery life would be key, and perhaps slightly cheaper? *fingers crossed*

for me battery life is not a problem, by the end of the night i have 50-55 percent left, it won't make it two days of normal usage for me tho... But I am happy with battery life.

I thought Android wear needed an Android Phone?

I opted to get a Galaxy S6 so I could better immerse myself in Android. I can't design apps for Android if I don't know the ins-and-outs of the OS.

 

It sits at my desk, with call forwarding to my iPhone. :)

I wonder just how much will be changed between the two devices to make a difference?

With Apple, there will be that one new great thing that is not backwards compatible with the previous version.  That's Apple's track record recently.

But when you consider something like a watch, especially going from Gen 1 to Gen 1.5, and Apple's usual MO of fixing customer complaint items, the only things that would change would be battery capacity and screen resolution.

Actually really happy with my AWS.

 

Unless they are going to add DAYS onto the battery capacity, I have no complaints.  I put it on first thing in the morning, and take it off last thing before I go to bed - I dont think it has ever fallen below 25%.  Have had it on since 5am this morning, and its now 10:20pm, and I am sitting at 40%.  That includes a 30 minute run as well.

 

Currently really the only thing that would make me ditch this version and get a 'new' version is if Apple ever came through with the rumors back in the day about blood glucose readings.  Type 1 Diabetic here - that type of technology would be a game changer.  Sounds as if it wont happen now - too much FDA related stuff apparently.  

 

Anyway - point being I like my Apple Watch Sport much much more than I ever thought I would.

Before the end of this week I'll own an Apple Watch Sport gold 42mm. I'll stick with the midnight blue sport band until I get this watch paid off and then buy the royal blue.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
