Chas,

I just read this post. I thought long and hard about an Apple Smart Watch. I did buy one it wasn't TOTL, but was a pretty decent watch. I must have watched 10 different You Tube videos before I decided on buying one, actually I didn't buy it, it was a gift for my birthday. Yup I'm a bit geeky otherwise I would have passed on purchasing one.

To answer your questions.

1. Yes I use it as an everyday watch, unless I'm doing some work around the home then I usually put on my Timex Ironman Triathlon watch.

2. I use many of the functions. I ride a bicycle and/or walk ( can't run anymore knees won't allow it) at least 5 days per week. I'm able to track distance, speed and heart rate. When I'm riding I want to keep my heart rate in an aerobic zone. Old habits die hard, this goes back to the days when I competed in road races, short distance triathlons. At one time I used a separate heart rate monitor and a Garmin GPS watch to keep track of activity. Those 2 devices back in the 90s cost more than the Apple Watch with just one sole function each. Now it's done with one watch. I do monitor texts and phone calls via the watch, if it's an 800 number or a number I don't recognize I can decline the call looking at the watch on my wrist and not have to dig the phone out of my pocket. This comes in handy at meetings.

3. I only have one smart watch and that's plenty.
4. It's an Apple Watch
5. I take the phone with me when on a bike or walk.
6. Mine does not have a camera, but I can use it as a remote to control the camera in my iPhone. That feature has limited use in my opinion but could come in handy for street photography.
