My brother got one... has Mickey on it to tell the time. Even sounds like Mickey!

I've been thinking of indulging and asking for one for Xmas.

What, beyond tell time and notify you of your texts, does it do?

I got one last Christmas and wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do. It has been a great motivator for fitness for me. You can set it up to track daily calories, exercise minutes and standing for at least one minute every hour. It has really encouraged me to walk every day.

The things I use it for the most:
Make/receive phone calls
Send/receive texts (I know you mentioned texts, but besides notifications you can also send)
Get calendar reminders
Track your steps
Listen to music or podcasts (with bluetooth headphones paired to your watch)
Find your iPhone
Pay for things (at stores that accept Apple Pay)
Track my workouts/calories burned

I got it for the fall dedication I was diagnosed with vertigo and I am too young for the fall and can’t get up pendent plus the pendant looks so medical no wonder my grandma did not want to wear it when she was alive

I my Apple watch
I wear nothing else unless I need to dress up, then I wear my Movado. Since we don’t go anywhere that requires being in formal attire, my Movado doesn’t come out very often.

You can buy a band for your apple that is dressy

So you can only earn a certain amount of points a day so that will keep me from over doing it so this will make my family happy

In addition to these:
Fall detection- If it detects a fall and you don’t respond that you are okay it will notify your emergency contacts and dial 911.
Heart monitoring/EKG
Mine connects with my Mirror for HR and to log workouts.
Don’t laugh, my absolute favorite is having a timer on my wrist. (Okay, it’s tied with being able to pay for things without pulling out wallet/cards/phone)

I’m going from a series 4 to a series 7 in a couple of weeks so a nice upgrade for me. I never thought I needed one but I love my Apple Watch.

What does this mean? Are you talking about your rings? Activity/Stand/Workouts? These are not limited and you can change your goals to whatever you want.

Hmmm..I have the series 6 and mine has the rings but no "points" Is that something you had to set up or was that a default setting.

I have a SE and I don't have points either.

I love mine bc I cannot have my cell phone at work so I have the one with cell data so I can get texts here and see if the school calls about my kids bc even tho I've put my work #, and that I can't have my cell, they still call my cell

for each challenge you join it gives you a max points you can earn for the day per challenge some challengers you can earn more points a day

I take it this is an app you have installed? This isn’t the AW Fitness app.
