With the Apple Watch with LTE, Apple _is_ tackling the issue of smartphone addiction. I've been using my Apple Watch as my sole form of communication for 3 months now, it's great.

Does Siri understand you well, or do you have any cases where you have to scribble, send typos, etc? What do you do for taking notes? Do you have a system for processing later on a phone or a computer? Any apps like whatsapp where you can't initiate a message? How do you get around it? Do you carry a phone? If not, do you carry a camera? I'm interested in doing the same myself.

  > Does Siri understand you well, or do you have any cases where you have to scribble, send typos, etc? Siri works pretty well in most situations. It doesn't work great when I'm in locations with spotty WiFi and LTE. Siri also doesn't work well when I'm in meetings or on the bus, so I scribble in those situations. I really wish I could use Palm's "Graffiti" instead of writing out the letters, it would be so much faster! I also do send typos sometimes. > What do you do for taking notes? Do you have a system for processing later on a phone or a computer? I do not have a system for taking notes on my phone or watch. I use org-mode for my notes so I carry my computer around with me at work as a portable org-mode system. > Any apps like whatsapp where you can't initiate a message? How do you get around it? I don't use Whatsapp, but I do use Signal and not being able to initiate a message is very frustrating. I end up using iMessage in those situations, which isn't ideal. I hope that Signal makes an Apple Watch app. > Do you carry a phone? If not, do you carry a camera? I don't carry a phone for 5-6 days out of the week. At this point, I only take my phone with me if I want to have a "GPS" or a camera. I do miss having a camera, but it's a small price to pay for being free from the constant distraction of a phone.
