What's the advantage of this over an arm sleeve that your phone sits in for your specific use case though? Also, will you still have to have your iPhone on you or in your bag to use it at the gym? What tech is being used to communicate between the two devices and is it strong enough that you can wear the watch and have your iPhone at home? Sorry if they have answered these questions.
- dirtyaura 12y agoI've tried to use iPhone with arm sleeves in gym and when jogging. It's really inconvenient and I usually resort to using just earbud controls. We will see if Apple Watch is any better, but based on the announcement demos, it looks promising on that front.
- crazypyro 12y agoStill doesn't solve the problem of needing the iPhone on you for the watch to connect, if that is indeed the case. Is there any info on the tech used to connect the devices besides a single mention of wifi on the site?
- x0x0 12y agoThe benefit for something like a rest timer is you have to interact with it all the time so it's a giant pain to get your phone in and out of a sleeve repeatedly. Plus, again, I sweat like a pig when I lift heavy or run and the phones don't seem particularly waterproof. Plus my hands sweat too and I will drop it.
