I also recommend Amazon over Apple. What I usually do is find a sighted person to explain the band I'm interested in, help me choose a color that goes with my watch color and, in the sighted person's opinion, suits me, then order it. They're rarely more than $10 or $15, and with Amazon Prime,

There is a good article about Watch bands on the iMore.com web site. That’s where I started looking at third party bands, which are, in my experience, not only less expensive but in the case of the Milanese Loop bands, more effective in fit and closure, plus having a lot

I know the feeling at the moment the nearest apple store is 45 minutes away. It's not far but kind of is when you have to get someone to get you there. On 9/17/17, Mary Otten wrote: > There was a recommendation earlier to look at Amazon. They are very > expensive from Apple

There was a recommendation earlier to look at Amazon. They are very expensive from Apple apparently, much more so than from other vendors. The thing is, I want to actually see it in the store before I buy it, and I can't do that from Apple or Amazon, since there are no Apple stores here in my

Yeah, I never did understand why anyone would pay that much, but then again, to those who could, it meant something, I suppose. I’ll stick with the Series 3 aluminum. with seashell band. I did find out that the Flash band is in my opinion a cool mix of gray and neon green. May have to grab that

There are two settings for waking and speaking. First, you can choose between waking when you tap the screen, and waking when you raise your wrist. To be clear, you can have one, the other, or both. Then you choose whether you want VO to speak on wrist raise. I don't, since there are enough

Hi, I have the original watch, sport model. Hope to get the 3rd gen for Christmas. I’ve been very happy with my watch; I wanted it mainly for the time and notifications. My podcast app gives me notifications so I can keep track of them. As I don’t carry my phone around the house it’s great for

Thank you, Alex. That was a well written article, and the comments that followed we're also interesting. I wonder how much the watch is going to be able to do over LTE aside from the obvious, making phone calls. I mean, will you be able to get notifications and messages and all that other good

Hello, I wrote a blog about exactly this topic when my Apple Watch drowned in the pool back in June. I covered how I use the Watch, and what I thought when I was forced to go without it for the first time in over a year. You may find it a helpful read as you look for use cases.

I’m put off the cellular model because, even if my current carrier soon offers such an add on contract, I understand that carriers are likely to charge an extra $10 a month just for the Watch LTE on top of our current carrier’s monthly charge for the iPhone SIM contract. As I bought my phone
