I ordered a Pebble Time 2 on Kickstarter and a Core hoping to find the perfect smartwatch and run tracking combo. When the Apple Watch 2 came out, I figured I'd hedge my bets and get one of those, then keep whichever one I ended up liking more. Well, the Pebble + Core is never arriving (thanks for the quick refund!) - and I've really become found of the Apple Watch. Built in GPS for run tracking is awesome, and with wireless airpods, I'll be able to run and listen to music/podcast with minimal extra weight. A few other minor things I've liked about the Apple Watch 2: - Setting a timer with Siri (use multiple times a day now)
- Weather on the watchface
- Check banking balances from watch
- PagerDuty notifications on watch vs. phone (my wife very much appreciates this!) - phone now stays out of the bedroom I'm sad there isn't a good open source watch OS out there (with any decent looking hardware) - but until then, the Apple Watch 2 has been a pleasant surprise. I did have pretty low expectations going in, so that could be part of it. |
