I use mine to respond to texts and answer phone calls. The scribble thing in watchOS 3 is pretty crazy with how well it works. watchOS 3 in general is a huge improvement. But, you know, to each their own.

I also use Apple Pay when available. The real killer features are health and safety. In the future, everyone will wear a smartwatch: https://h4labs.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/in-the-future-everyone-will-wear-a-smartwatch/ https://h4labs.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/in-the-future-everyo... Apple made incremental progress on the health features today.

Apple will be doing more to target this market.

Yah, it does work well. I do a lot with my watch. * Morning alarm clock (buzzes me instead of noise - key when I sleep with my kids) * Heartrate tracking (all day long across multiple things - biking, walking, resting, etc) * Sleep tracking * Notifications (small part, but useful) * Calorie burn * Sunrise/sunset * Temp outdoors * And of course, date/time I have a complication setup that delivers 6 stats quickly. Biggest feature for me. For quantifying my data, the watch has been really good for me. I'll prob go series 2 so I can go all in for water activities. Looking forward in the future to measuring even more.

  You sleep with it on? When do you charge it?

    I don't often sleep with mine on (usually just dump it on the nightstand if I forget to put it in the charger). If I forget to charge overnight, I just drop it on the charger 1st thing in the morning, and it's usually charged by the time I leave for work. This even works if I happen to do a morning workout - even with 20% I can complete an hour, drop it in charger, shower, eat and it'll be charged enough for the day (usu. 80%+). I toyed with the idea of having an extra charger for my car, but seriously don't need it.
