I’m surprised about your feelings about the watch but then again that’s exactly what I thought before I used / owned one. I’m not sure what I would do with it if it ran separate from the phone. The fact it joins my WiFi and has such good bluetooth range means I can leave my phone any where in my multistory home and have access to it’s screen pops and all my data from my wrist. It’s great for checking that quick text or latest news headline, quick phone call and yes the Dick Tracy reference isn’t lost on me either definitely cool. But what would I gain by having a separate data line on my watch? Not that much when my phone is always in range. This is a feeling I have gotten though only after owning the device. Before I couldn’t understand why it needed the phone and was designed that way either.
You for example don’t need the phone to place calls though if your carrier supports WiFi calling. My phone can be completely powered down and I can place and take calls. > On Mar 23, 2016, at 8:27 PM, Emilio <emilio.s.hernan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > My thoughts on the Apple keynote are positive.
