boomana Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 I'd wager it is entirely the "fault", if you want to call it that, of the fitness app. Yup. Was at 100% at 5:30 this morning. Ran the fitness app for about 40 minutes. It was at 75% by 7:00. I recharged it before work, actually used it as a phone quite a bit, and definitely texted at least 20 short texts. It's at 46% right now. Well I read the NSA scanning your S1 system drains the battery a bit. Good thing all they'll get from me this morning is that Sufferfest: The Hunted caused me to have a near heart attack. Quote
boomana Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 So I barely used the watch yesterday, other than check a couple messages/email, one phone call, and only half hour of the fitness app. I forgot to charge it last night, but it was still at 46% this morning. Quote
boomana Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 I'm actually thinking it's pretty good. Went 24 hours with low usage, but had half a charge left. Quote
Voltron Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Funny, I was trying to figure out it you thought it was good or bad performance too. I'd say losing 30% in 90 minutes of just moderate usage is not too strong but I don't have a dog in this fight. Quote

TMoney Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Got a second band today. As much as I like the white sport band, I needed something a bit more understated. Went with the black classic buckle. I love the black on silver look. 1 Quote

Went with the black classic buckle. I love the black on silver look. That's my favorite looking and most comfortable strap, but until I'm out of this wrist brace for carpal tunnel syndrome I have to use the milanese loop to wear the watch above my wrist brace. Quote

The Milanese would have been my second choice. I really liked it too. Quote
blessingx Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Posted July 1, 2015 Anyone considering the third party bands on Amazon? Some are getting decent reviews. Quote

TMoney Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 Absolutely fascinating review of the Apple watch from Ray Maker. So many interesting tidbits about the wearables industry in general. This is well worth a read. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/11/apple-watch-series3-cellular-fitness-sport-review.html Quote
jpelg Posted November 8, 2020 Report Posted November 8, 2020 Looking for an iPhone+Apple Watch charging station suggestions. My wife just got a gen-6 Apple Watch, and is in charger hell on the nightstand. Presumably with wireless charging for her iPhone X (she's been using a wireless phone charger for some time), but not necessarily wedded to that if there's a better, non-wireless solution. Figured I'd necro-bump this thread to ask you Apple nuts, instead of starting a new one. TIA. Quote
Sherwood Posted November 8, 2020 Report Posted November 8, 2020 I use the Nomad base station: https://nomadgoods.com/products/base-station-apple-watch I’ve had it for almost a year, I travel with it, and I’m very happy. If I was buying a new one today, I would probably get the Mophie: https://store.apple.com/xc/product/HP7L2VC/A . I like the indentations where things go. 2 1 Quote
morphsci Posted November 8, 2020 Report Posted November 8, 2020 The Mophie looks perfect for my needs. Ordered one since I had a couple of Apple gift cards laying about . Thanks Tyler. 2 Quote
jpelg Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 I also ordered the Mophie & received it today. My wife loves it. Thanks for the recommendation - much appreciated. 2 Quote
