If toilet notification handling is the first thing that comes to mind my friend, then you made the right choice of taking the sports edition :).
It’s pessimism because I touched the thing and was really dissapointed with the form factor which just doesn’t feel like apple. It’s not slick, its onerous and gaudy. It’s fat for a watch, even the smaller version, and you instantly know this is because of the battery restrictions. And the price really made me think about all the marketing trump. Maybe in the U.S it’s actually ok, but here in australia, 1500-1700 for the edition, knowing that it’s the same price for a 64 gig iphone, no marketing will do anything for me to notice this enormous discrepancy. I’m not fussy about prices in general when I find a product attractive, but as soon as it falls short of what i think is a good product, and trust me I have a lot of apple products and other gizmos, being a long time entrepreneur and being able to afford expensive stuff, this one just doesn’t fit the bill. Please do take the lead and show us the light, like what will change significantly in your life apart from having to charge an extra device daily and getting taps on your wrist at which point you have to fuss around with your wrist until you get to what you want. If siri was way better than now, this would be a much better selling point. Here’s hoping for apple to switch from nuance servers to an actual deep learning server cluster.
