He's right, it is very easy to set up. Do most of it from your phone, but you can also do stuff fairly easily from the watch. I haven't had much time tonight, so mostly just focused on getting everything paired up, and doing some tweaking of settings. Looking forward to putting it through its

I agree. My impression after the first 24 hours is quite favorable. I didn't think I would ever use it to message people, but in fact i did that this afternoon, and it was very easy once I got it figured out. Like any first release it has room to grow. Better battery life would be good, as w
