Week One: My Apple Watch

Contrary to the Web page saying it has an 18-hour lifespan between charges, I have managed to get close to two days per recharge. Going with the tap over the raising your wrist part helped. I also put it in a low-powered state when I go to bed. All of its features don’t do any good while I’m asleep.

I’m still perturbed over the disagreement we’re having over my exercising and what Activity thinks. I’ll live. Others said, use the Workout app. Well, I don’t want to fall down and break my face on the treadmill messing with the Watch. The other problem is that lately I don’t get very far contiguously; lately I’m doing .25 to .4 mile stretches before I need to stop for a minute to catch my breath. I have clobbered the Move goal by achieving double five days out of seven; Standing 12 for 12 easily; Exercise remains the sore spot with Tuesday being the record setting 23 minutes out of 30.

Somara and I have a lot of fun with the scribbling thing you can do between two users. She has a stylus that keeps her stuff more accurate; a cat, words, kissy-face. Me? Ugh, it’s right there with my awful handwriting. I do have a smiley-face down.

I’ll close with how much I love the phone element. I can hang up on the auto callers even faster!

Oh wait, there was the WWDC parts. Watch OS 2 looks good. The only element I ever felt was missing was an activation lock for the Watch. Theft-protection for a $400 piece of jewelry is a pretty good idea.

Next up, one month.
