Hi! One cool thing is that you actually can unlock your Mac from your watch. So when the Mac goes to sleep and you need to type in the password when waking it up you just feel a vibration on your wrist and then you press the long button on the watch. Then you don’t need to type in your password. It does not work when logging in to your Mac though. /A
