I think what makes the IWatch unique is it has an option that makes it a standalone cell phone. With this new option it no longer need to be in proximity of you IPhone. You leave the IPhone at home and have a fully function cell phone on your wrist. The only hitch is they will not let you active a watch separately, it must be tied to you IPhone number.
Garmin also make some nice sport watches that a fully functional GPS receivers. Everything but a one PPS and 10MHz output.

I’m extremely happy with mine, but the reasons I am are far, far wider than its accuracy (which I can only judge by eye, which is an extraordinary low bar for a Time Nut). > On Mar 4, 2018, at 10:38 PM, Don Murray via time-nuts <time-nuts@febo.com> > wrote: > > Hello Time Nuts... > > > > After 6 years of no troubles, in sync with WWV any > hour of the day, flawless transfer between > standard and daylight time my Stauer Titanium > Atomic wristwatch bite the dust a year ago. > > Since then, Stauer has sent me three replacements, > each with some type of problem. > > So it looks as if I am in need of a new wristwatch, > which will give me some kind of time accuracy. > > So, Time Nuts... any suggestions or recommendations? > > TNX > > 73 > Don > W4WJ > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts time-nuts Info Page - American Febo Enterprises<https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts> www.febo.com time-nuts is a low volume, high SNR list for the discussion of precise time and frequency measurement and related topics.
