I've not worn my Apple Watch for probably 6 weeks now? Genuinely feels like i've got rid of a ball and chain

@keir I still use the workout app religiously, but I really scaled down the notifications. I wish it could replace the phone, because that’s what feels like the ball and chain to me.

@jblake yeah, if it was one or the other then it would make more sense to me but the fact it’s both is another negative for me.
I don’t workout much and don’t care about tracking them (more data that I would never use) 😂

Besides the charging issue, my personal problem with the Apple Watch is that it’s basically an iPhone, but worse—except for workout tracking. It can handle payments, notifications, calendar invites, and mail, but all of it just feels like a demo version of an iPhone.

@dm_z @jblake haha yeah it is pretty much - particularly if you're not fussed about any of the tracking stuff
