What are the benefits of having an Apple Watch? in c/apple@hardware.watch
[–] Foreign_Curve_5089@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I really like what one review on YouTube said. It was essentially this: an Apple Watch isn’t going to change your life, but it makes everything about 5% better.

Examples include paying for stuff with the Watch—not necessary at all, but it adds a little moment of coolness and fun to your day. Also, listening to lossless albums on the go without my phone—such a simple thing, but it feels just a little magical.

Same! My Series 7 is hard-locked to wOS 8 because I’m still using an iPhone 7. I used to think I would miss out on cool features and such, but it sure sounds like I’m on the greener side of the wOS 10 pasture—even if it’s not really my choice.

Thanks for the recommendation! Being silicone, I assume it doesn’t leave any trace on your Watch? My Series 7 is product Red so I’m concerned about cases scratching it if I take them off for a social event or something.

I work retail. What case will keep my Watch alive? (alien.top)
 

So, I recently retired a Garmin Vivoactive HR that has seen 6 years of active duty on my wrist. I work in the grocery department of a supermarket and impacts with doors, shelves and other structures are a regular hazard of the job.

The Garmin has seen its fair share of those, and despite a non-functional touchscreen, shattered strap connections, broken accelerometer and more, it still manages to tell proper time and track my heart rate.

Looking at my shiny new Series 7, I don’t know if I could expect to say the same of it after even half that time period. I want to wear it to work, but I think a case is in order. What would be the best case for use in an environment where the Watch is going to experience regular impacts to both the face and edges?
