Apple Watch

[easyd]

I just got mine, and wondering if there's any other listeners out there with an Apple Watch?

Rocking Mickey today!

So jealous!!
They're running $500AUD for the 38mm sport (entry level) so I won't be able to have one for a while I daresay :-(

I'd love to know how much you do actually use it for the functions other than telling time both now and in say, a week and a month or two.

Ps. Why does mickey have a Jesus like crucifix hole in his hand?

I have one and really starting to like it. The company I work for bought us some for testing purposes. I was going to buy one anyways but this way it didn't cost me anything. I like the reminder to stand for a minute every hour. With my job sometimes I get busy and forget to move for long periods of time

Got one for myself and for my Wife. Notifications and Fitness tracking are both great. First review post I did, and here is the continuation.

In your opinions, would it still be good for someone who is completely disinterested in the fitness tracking side of things?

I've got one. Still trying to figure out the interface. Always getting it wrong as far as swiping up, down, across or pushing one of the buttons. I went with the 38mm sport in smoke grey and black band.

What did that set you back?
Apple have unreasonable mark ups here in Aus.
Apple sport 38mm $499AUD/$394USD
Apple sport 42mm $579AUD/$457USD
Apple watch 38mm with sport band $799AUD/$631USD
Apple watch 42mm with sport band $879AUD/$694USD
Base iPhone 6 $999AUD/$788USD
128GB iPhone 6 Plus $1,449AUD/$1,144USD
Thats using $0.7892USD as the exchange rate :-(

What you're seeing is actually the three seams on the back of his white glove.

Nope, it's not.
The other hand

DH and I should be getting ours next month - still waiting for the ship notice

 

[OKW Lover]

The hand that's pointing? I don't see anything strange.

I have a 42 mm space grey sport. Love it so far. Awesome for keeping track of work outs.

I hope Disney will allow smart watches in lieu of Magic Bands sometime in the future...

I have the same model and band. I wholeheartedly agree about using the Apple Watch as a Magic Band! We were at MK last weekend and I used the Apple Pay app on my watch for our meals and a couple of things from Uptown Jewelers. Hopefully MDE will be updated to include a watch app too.

I just listened to a podcast (called Hello Internet) about this very thing. The whole episode isn't about the watch but they devote at least 20 minutes to it (they talk about a lot of other stuff so you have to wade through it). I believe it's episode #36.

I think she is talking about the thing that looks like a button that is on many Mickey watches on Mickey's hand.

Been at WDW since Friday, and really liking having notifications on my wrist! Nice not having to constantly pull out my phone!

The new Watch OS update has also dramatically improved the battery life I'm getting. Easily going all day here on one charge.

I've got mine and loving it. Mickey is my go-to watch face. I'm hoping that contactless payments with Apple Pay can be used prominently at WDW.

Most WDW merchandise locations will offer contactless payments.
