I had 1st gen watch till 2019 and my usage pattern hardly changed with the newer versions:
- clock and weather information
- notifications
- Apple Pay
- exercise tracking
What else are you using it now?
- hnbear 4y agoNot a huge amount more. I loved my first-gen too, but seldom even tried to hit the buttons to do anything. It was time + looking at notifications. Everything else was too slow. I use it for things like timers, eg. cooking, quite a lot. I have high blood pressure, so like the other health features, which have improved a lot. Pretty nice for directions, and it can store music now to use, which is handy. I think a lot of features, even the basic ones have improved a lot too, to the point it's hard to remember that the first was pretty basic. Maybe I'm mis-remembering and the rest of the world has also caught up to the wonders of tap to pay, and wallet/etickets. Somewhere in the last couple of years realistically not carrying a phone became more of a reality.
