Donna, this is interesting. You’ll have toilet us know how you like watch OS 2 when it comes out next month. I held out and didn’t buy the watch thinking that I should wait until it’s at least a generation or so in. I’d really like to see the watch function more separate of the phone but still I like the idea of having an extension of the phone to use on my wrist.
Which model of the watch did you go with? > On Aug 13, 2015, at 10:29 AM, Donna Goodin <doniado...@me.com> wrote: > > Hey Scott, > > Not Wayne, but I'll weigh in on the Apple Watch.
