  • It saved my life 2 months ago. Had a massive fall during a free solo (solo) hike. The watch knew I fell, sent 911 my name and my precise geotagged location (I have the ultra and it uses 2 GPS bands - so crazy accuracy. It also sent my location and that I fell to my family.

    I had many serous broken bones and was losing blood. EMS was at my location in 6 minutes. My family - through watch sent alerts - tracked me in the ambulance to the hospital. The watch would report my location to them as I was moving. They literally knew what hospital to got to because they were getting Apple texts. I was in surgery when they got to the hospital, but they were there to see me in recovery!

    So in my view for anyone who is not a couch potato, it’s become a potentially life saving tool.



  • It’s experiential. My advice. Buy one. Use it for a week. If you are not convinced that every other streaming device is garbage in comparison, return it.

    I will say that it truly becomes amazing if you are in the apple ecosystem (iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch. Your iPhone and watch become an amazing remotes for the Apple TV. You can set up apple home to turn off your TV when you leave your house. You can write scripts to do very cool things in Home.

    It’s $129. Buy it on credit and return it if it doesn’t fundamentally change what a streaming device is for you.
