Living with the Apple Watch! #Helpful Post

what's up guys johnathan here and this

is what it's like living with the Apple

watch now let me start by saying as

smart watches as a whole right now

aren't a game-changer this holds true

for Apple Android and even something

like the pebble they're extensions of

our phones and without a doubt add

convenience but are they necessity or

life altering not yet visually speaking

I'm not quite sold on the Apple watch

regardless of how Apple typically brings

that one factor or aesthetic appeal with

the Apple watch it's not quite there if

we're talking solely looks

I much prefer something like the Moto

360 unlike the Moto 360 though which

features a circular display the Apple

watch sports a rounded rectangular

display and I understand why

functionally Apple went that route but

it kind of just looks like they stuck an

old iPod Nano on a strap slap a new

interface on it and call it a day build

quality though and looks aside it's

really well made it has a tremendous

attention to detail and the screen is

beautiful I picked up a 42 millimeter

sport on day one within about an hour of

mess around with the settings and menus

I was already a little bored with to

watch faces I thought for sure I'd roll

with Mickey but that ended up feeling a

little unpractical modular is definitely

the most tweakable out of the bunch but

I ended up enjoying and using solar the

most still though even though we can

tweak these to a degree I would love for

the ability to do something as simple as

changing out the wallpapers like we can

on our phones

another uncharacteristic thing about the

Apple watch is it's a lack of

intuitiveness out of the box that's a

big thanks in part to the digital crown

the main point of control and Apple

knows this or they wouldn't have 354

how-to guides and a novel of a user's

manual just to learn how to use the

Apple watch we've grown accustomed to

touch swiping pinching zooming it's

almost second nature to us and if you

had a tablet or a phone to a kid within

minutes they got that figured out both

the Apple watch it's a little bit

different I'm not saying the digital

crown is a bad thing but I'm not

convinced that it's what a SmartWatch

needs to excel it is however a big fat

reminder that navigation on such a small

screen is not natural it's a little

cumbersome and that Apple is banking on

us to adjust to them and train ourselves

to make it natural

now while the digital crown may be

something Apple implemented from a

traditional watch battery life on the

other hand isn't not to say that battery

life hasn't been as advertised because

it has and then some but for the most

part it's something that we need to

charge every day and it's one more thing

to think about or conversely forget

about

so now not only is it damnit I forgot to

charge my phone but it's also damnit I

forgot to charge my watch on the

positive side though charging works

really well with the magnetic charger

and it only takes around an hour for a

full charge if you forgot to do so so

this for I think it's pretty safe to say

I've been pretty critical of the Apple

watch but I think it's due to a couple

different things one I'm not really a

watch guy so just wearing one whether

that's the Apple watch a traditional

watch or something like Android wear it

feels uncomfortable for me and to a lot

of the added convenience and

functionality that the Apple watch

brings to the game I've already

experienced with Android wear but that's

where I want to stop you you got to

remember some people are in the Android

ecosystem and some people are in the

Apple ecosystem some might use it

because it's easier to iMessage their

kids so this is their SmartWatch option

right now does it make them a bad person

or an idiot so don't go watch it and say

the Moto 360 is automatically better

because it's Android you got to remember

for each person each scenario is

different so with that as I point out

positive things and things I liked about

the Apple watch just take that in stride

and for what it is just because the Moto

360 may do that that's fine and go enjoy

your Moto 360 or whatever other device

you're using but this might relate to

somebody and that's what I want to bring

across by far the most enjoyable feature

on the Apple watch for me has been Apple

pay it works fantastic on the iPhone in

this case since I don't need to pull

anything out of my pocket to pay just

place the watch near the reader and bam

it's done it's a prime example of

convenience added not something you

can't live without but definitely useful

the second most enjoyable aspect of the

watch is definitely the fitness portion

and in terms of smartwatches Apple

excels in this department the heart rate

monitor is solid the step tracker is

accurate and really for me having a nice

clear easy-to-read stopwatch helps me

when working out if your weight training

there's a certain time window that you

want to keep it in between sets and

visually having something attached to me

keeps me on track so a I don't let too

much time pass in between sets and be

keep the workout timely and efficient

now again is this revolutionary note but

it's an example of how I found it useful

and how it might benefit you whether

you're getting into weights or just

doing something as simple as walking or

running on the daily for those curious

about them kicks these and the ones you

saw at the beginning of the video are

from great

a brooklyn-born company that blends

high-end materials and dope designs into

shoes at start under 50 bucks and the

first 100 TLD viewers can snag 10 bucks

off by checking out the details and a

link down below so for the most part

that summarizes how I feel about the

Apple watch and honestly I'm not sure in

a month's time if I'll still be using it

so if you guys are looking forward to

maybe a 1 month later or 2 months update

definitely let me know I'm not going to

get into things like digital heartbeats

or sketches because really but on that

same note I think those who did pick up

an Apple watch on day one probably

didn't need to watch this video to

convince them on the other hand though

if you're asking me what I recommend it

and I honestly couldn't because I'm not

going to go run to my mom my brother my

friends or family and say you need to

buy the Apple watch yes it's going to

add convenience but it's not going to

change your life
