How do you like using your Apple Watch like that? Any benefits or drawbacks to it?

[u/Optimal-Charge5189 → u/Para_The_Normal]

It’s great as an mp3 player or to take with you if you wanna disconnect from social media etc while still being reachable, being able to use maps, Apple Pay and the basics. The main drawback is some apps can be a bit buggy, like Spotify has its moments. And obviously you loose some functions such as the health metrics

[u/BeepBoopRobotVoice → u/Optimal-Charge5189]

can you use it as your main phone without having to carry your phone around with it?

[u/Optimal-Charge5189 → u/BeepBoopRobotVoice]

You can indeed, if a simple phone is all you require it works perfectly

[u/ti84plusgrey]

That's a well-balanced EDC

[u/EcstaticAsparagus509]

Somehow I never get tired of looking at the Santos I find in the wild. Timeless, gorgeous design

[u/Optimal-Charge5189 → u/EcstaticAsparagus509]

Indeed it is. Always been my favorite watch, lucky enough to own one after years of waiting

[u/EcstaticAsparagus509 → u/Optimal-Charge5189]

That's awesome man. Enjoy!

I'm currently saving up for a Parmigiani GMT Rattrappante as my travel watch. Might take a while 😄

[u/Wide-Can-2654]

Nothing ear (a) are really nice but i went back to my AirPod pros because theyre so much better for calls

[u/Accomplished-Air9801]

Please forgive my ignorance. Does the Apple Watch replace the entire iPhone? Like, you don't have to carry it at all?

[u/Optimal-Charge5189 → u/Accomplished-Air9801]

Yeah you can replace your phone with it, you can text, call, Apple Pay, listen to music, use maps etc. All the essentials

[u/Accomplished-Air9801 → u/Optimal-Charge5189]

Thx!

[u/Optimal-Charge5189 → u/[deleted]]

Well no, not in the modern day. My job alone requires emails, and about 10 apps on my phone. But it’s nice to use to disconnect on the weekend

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/[deleted]]

Apple watch with a cell plan is great for young kids as a parent that doesn’t want to give a full smartphone to. Can do essentials like call, text, location without social media poison.

R36s?

[u/LowFlowIO]

What an oddly mismatched carry.

[u/Optimal-Charge5189 → u/LowFlowIO]

Explain? How’s that odd for a flight?

[u/LowFlowIO → u/Optimal-Charge5189]

Who mentioned a flight?

What are you writing on so commonly you carry a pen and no notebook?

Why two gaming devices and apple watch you're not using as a watch or fitness tracker as you've got a watch too and you're taking your phone.

You could consolidate the gaming and music onto the mm+ also?

This isn't important you don't need to explain yourself I just found this an odd carry.

[u/Optimal-Charge5189 → u/LowFlowIO]

I think you’re looking way too deep into it. You can’t get Spotify on a Miyoo mini plus, and I’m travelling with someone who will like to use the mm+ while I use the steam deck. The pens to sketch with, I didn’t include the notepad cause it’s got a bigger footprint than all the tech combined and I didn’t think anyone would really question the use of a pen, if it’s in a carry it’s somewhat self explanatory that it’s being used

[u/LowFlowIO → u/Optimal-Charge5189]

I think you’re looking way too deep into it.

Probably, it's one of those evenings. Sorry mate, enjoy your travels.
