that's a mode really meant for kids and the elderly. getting your own compatible iphone would be a much better experience.

I wear a large on the next to last hole, on purpose so the buckle won't hit the laptop, desk, keyboard, etc. the buckle faces me so it's easier to take off and put on.

yes. no doubt.

kinda a waste of a key feature by turning it off. Ultra has good battery. no need to pick at every little thing to save more battery.

heart rate is only constantly measured when a workout is running

you can make the combo on the Apple store app

under notifications on the watch app scroll to the bottom to turn off apps that aren't on the watch

of you don't want always on display get the SE. if you do, get the 9. if you want 3 day battery life get the Ultra.

battery, screen size, action button. the exclusive faces ended up being a plus.

I use the shortcut from this article

I also edited two versions of it to open text.npr.org and lite.cnn.com since those two text only sites look good enough on the watch.
