@angus_halen @rrhoover as someone who has trouble remembering calendar/to-dos all day, the subtle wrist vibrations have become indispensable.
New from Apple's watchOS 4:
- More watch faces (with more Disney characters!)
- New Siri-centric face, with smart notifications
- New Apple Music face for your music (with AirPod integration!)
- Achievement Progress updates for your athletic goals
- Two-way communication with gym equipment (Life Fitness, Cybex, Schwinn, Startrac, and StairMaster)
- Flashlight mode & emergency flasher
- Native core bluetooth support
Nice updates but looks like the watch is still below par as a fitness tracker. Still no sleep tracking and the app dashboard is absolutley useless, who needs rings? The Fitbit app is way better if you do sports and like to track KPIs!
I have a gen 1 apple watch. I always referred to it as Apple's public beta product and use it mainly for time / quick notifications and amateur health monitoring (so it meets my needs). The new series 2 hardware was a step in the right direction and watchOS 4 keeps pushing things forward... albeit at glacier speed.
They need to do a full re-launch of hardware and software down the line. It seems the smart watch category has fallen asleep as no one has nailed it. Apple could still dominate here at some point, Woody as my watch face isn't super compelling. Meh, it's a free update. 🤷♂️
@blake_barber40 this is the most useless update to watch ever.
Basically 4 watch faces and they call it and update.
