Apple Watches

Are they worth it? I mean, with a nice band and all?

Are they worth it? I mean, with a nice band and all?

My sister got a new one for Christmas and gave me her hand me down. So far, I am enjoying it, especially the ability to customize the face with photos of my own. I do find some of the notifications get on my nerves though, especially the fitness ones when it says it’s time to stand or move about and I am in the middle of something, so I turned those off for now. I am not investing in fancy bands at this time, because if I like it then I may want a new one with a larger face, which would likely take larger bands. She gave me six bands in neutral colors and they are comfortable. I have seen some nice bands online though.

If you decide to get an Apple Watch just keep in mind that it is not a long term investment like a mechanical watch can be. It will have a set lifespan (I figure my hand me down has a couple of years left before it is no longer supported, which gives me plenty of time to decide if I want to use one long term). You can sometimes catch them on a sale, but it will still be more expensive than a lot of the watches you have posted about.

Well, it is basically a computer on your wrist (Hello, Dick Tracy). Many of the apps on your iPhone also run on the watch.

I had no intention of ever getting one, then my husband talked me into it. We didn't even have iPhones until this year, then went all in on the phones and the watches. I'm a convert. I especially loved the watch on our Disney trip a couple months ago - using Apple Pay, tapping into the parks and LL and PhotoPass with my watch, quickly checking texts without pulling out my phone, etc. I have had an iPad and iMac for several years now and I just love how all the Apple products sync together.

My daughter wears one and loves it. I do not have a lot of watches and enjoy wearing them.
