I’ve bought an Apple Watch Series 6 LTE, and I’ve noticed that my screen-time has decreased a lot. I feel that I’m not that addicted to my iPhone.
I feel more free when I go for a walk or shopping wearing just my watch. Now I can left my iPhone at home.
What about you?
I’d be more inclined to leave my phone at home if Meta would release a WhatsApp Apple Watch app. I know there are third party apps, such as Watch Chat 2 but they all feel very clunky. Last part of the puzzle IMO
I see your point. Luckily me and my family use iMessage instead
yes. no doubt.
I wish AW had support for:
-Uber/Lyft
-Apple CarPlay
-Picking up a Target 🎯 Drive Up Order
-Camera
I’ve had my Ultra 2 for a month or so now and I’ve found myself trying to be more “daring” by leaving my phone at home. Unfortunately, like a lot of people, when it’s work hours, I gotta have my phone for emails and the such, but it’s been a nice release to leave it at home when I take the dog for a walk or leave the house for a bit.
I’ve found a couple issues with trying to use my watch without my phone. 1) I always seem to want my camera when I don’t have it; 2) you can’t create/ edit a note or ask Siri to make a note from the watch, even when it’s connected to the phone; 3) if you want to make/ take a phone call in public, you better have your AirPods with you.
Yep! Checking time and messages has been so much easier, and being able to run to the store or just walk around the block without my phone is amazing. I wasn’t much of a phone user before, but this definitely cut screen time down by a good chunk
Nope. Still need my phone for insulin pump and cgm
Definitely. I can see the name of the song playing on my watch instead of on my phone. I have AOD turned off on my phone.
To me, the answer is sort of a yes. I still need my phone for work. I can substitute it with a tablet or laptop, but I might as well just use my iPhone. I need to be available to respond to emails, word process, edit spreadsheets, etc. So, I usually just keep a small bluetooth keyboard in my work bag.
For my personal life, I was considering a Light Phone, but decided an Apple Watch Ultra made more sense, it’s only $5/month more and I can track my health with it. I still use my iPhone a lot more than I need to, but having the option to just leave it at home for mundane tasks is nice. I usually don’t bring my iPhone on walks, grocery store or coffee trips anymore unless I know I’m probably going to want to take photos.
I have a non LTE version but it does too, the Watch is in my pocket, unused
Addiction is thrown around far too loosely with cyborgs.
I leave my iPhone at home when I walk the dogs, go walking and if I go out during work. Even though the 15 Pro Max is lighter, it’s still a heavy beast.
How long can you run your series 6 watch on LTE for?
7:40 pm and still at 67%
This. My watch dies so quick on LTE.
I sadly can’t use cellular on my cellular aw since apple doesn’t allow to have different contracts for the phone and aw :/ The moment I put a different sim in the iphone the sim on the aw gets disabled
I didn’t get an LTE watch as I could not envision a reason to not bring my phone with me whenever I go some where.
