I also love being able to get texts without pulling out my phone. I always have my phone on 'mute' at work, and love that I can get the haptics on my wrist so I don't miss it.
Really, I'm as lost without it as I am without my phone....
I can't wait for all the new apps now that the new ios is out....
I know !!! It's the best !!!0 -

I love mine!!! Ready for watch OS2 !!! Hopefully in next few days !!!0 -
I love mine and an addicted to earning the achievements. I've had mine since April 24th and have worn it every day since! ❤️⌚️0 -
Holy crap !!! I need to bulk up on mine !! Only a few achievements0

My husband insisted on getting an Apple Watch for me, and I love it, especially for the activity rings & the fitness app. It's really motivated me to move more, and I like earning achievements!
I like getting notifications on my wrist too.0 -
Smart man !!! They are the best !!!!0

I bought my watch (gold Sports) on Wednesday night and absolutely love it already! This is just the thing i need to track my progress. Went to Boots yesterday to weigh myself and get a reading of BF%.
Love the app installed but wondered if anyone could recommend a good app to track my British Military Fitness classes? There's general running and sprints involved but what's the best way to monitor all the sit ups, press ups. Squat/lunges reps we do? Was shocked to see I ran 4.5k in a class on Thursday, so pleased!0 -
There is no new watch coming out at this time. At least that's what I was told at the Apple store. The only thing that happened was iOS9.0

Wow !!! I've used the "open exercise" with no goal setting when I weight lift since it's not an option.0 -
Among its other features, the Apple watch saved this kids life yesterday:

I also use "other" as well. I love my Apple Watch but I do think the calorie counts are too high. I've compensated by reducing my MFP calorie target.

HRMs use a formula for calorie burn that assumes steady state cardio.
I don't think you should be trying to measure your cardio burn during a lifting routine using 'other', unless you're doing cross-training workout. (i.e. mixing cardio with weights)
I do Stronglifts, but actually don't turn on the workout feature for this routine.
I'm expecting new apps and updates to the exercise app with the new ios release.
Maybe we'll get something specifically tailored to weight lifting.0 -
That would be great !!!0

I love my Apple Watch. The myfitnesspal app for Apple watch, however, suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Like almost all pre-OS2 apps, it's laughably slow, and if you do not let MFP track steps (I don't), the app always crashes.
I'm hoping they release a workable MFP app for the watch, but I ain't holding my breath. The regular iOS MFP app is terrible, so I'm not expecting much for the watch.0 -
what model do you guys recommend? is the sports version enough?

Love my Apple Watch. Have had it since June but I was initially afraid that step tracking wasn't going to be as good as my Fitbit. Within a week I gave the Fitbit away. Love the built in heart rate monitor for workouts
I have the sport and my husband has next level up. They are virtually identical. I say save your money and get the sport. You can always purchase the fancier bands separately.0 -

I did when I first received it; now it's a hit and miss -- don't like wearing it when I'm lifting but will when doing cardio.
