Kev Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Way off topic here but, I just purchased an Apple Watch and am looking for any do's and don'ts from those of your that have one.. The current job forced my hand a little as they won't let me have my phone in the unit here. Of course, I didn't pack a watch for this one either so, things were getting tricky.. Anyway, it's a series 6 without the cellular.. I really just want it to tell me what time it is, let me know I have a text, and count my steps.. I may also toss in the messenger..

Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 How far away will your phone be? I think the range is like 35 feet, but not sure how a lot of walls would potentially reduce that distance. There’s really not a lot of do’s and don’ts.

I can keep the phone on me and out of sight, that's not an issue with the amount of gear that I carry and wear. However, I can't pull the phone out to check the time or each time it vibrates.. I knew that phone needed to be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I can see that I will probably need to be instrumental in this discussion as well. 😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I are going to Verizon tomorrow to upgrade our 6s phones to a 13. Obviously I try to stay on top of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Had to order as they are on backorder and got the 13 and not the 13 Pro. I’ll never in my lifetime know what all I’m getting or how to use it. But, by golly, I’m current.🤬 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 They actually had the Pro in stock. For the small addition in battery size and the third camera, i didn’t see the value in the additional $200 per phone so we put the savings towards new iPads.
