I have the smallest wrists I've ever seen on an adult -- like, the size of a typical seven-year-old, a jeweller once told me when he measured me for a bracelet -- and it looks fine on me. I tried one on yesterday. Mind you, I like chunky watches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future/page/2#post-1658192 Tue, 10 May 2016 17:41:24 +0000 Cindy 1658192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I have to admit I love the Star Trek reference. &nbsp;Or maybe James Bond is another good one. I think the idea is awesome but the watch is still a bit too big for my wrist. Maybe someday I will break down and get one. They are really awesome.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future/page/2#post-1658187 Tue, 10 May 2016 17:33:19 +0000 minimalist 1658187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahTheWhite, thank you.

It seems to take about a minute per %.</p> <p>That doesn't address the style issues, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future/page/2#post-1658111 Tue, 10 May 2016 15:55:39 +0000 Sadie 1658111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband uses this for charging:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HJC92VC/A/belkin-valet-charge-dock-for-apple-watch-iphone?afid=p238%7CsxxyfHmgp-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_52243328050_&amp;cid=aos-us-kwg-pla-btb-slid-">http://www.apple.com/shop/prod.....e?afid=p23</a></p> <p>I use this:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLDW2AM/A/apple-watch-magnetic-charging-dock?afid=p238%7Csg43ZpVEs-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_52243317130_&amp;cid=aos-us-kwg-pla-btb-slid-">http://www.apple.com/shop/prod.....Csg43ZpVEs</a></p> <p>The watch functions as a small digital clock while charging.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657985 Tue, 10 May 2016 13:13:40 +0000 Janet 1657985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband very thoughtfully got me one for Christmas, and I confess, I haven't worn it much. A couple of problems: </p> <p>- I have a couple other watches that gel with my style more, which I'm really used to wearing, (two Philip Steins with interchangeable straps), plus a chunky rose gold Michael Kors<br /> - It's very sporty -- black case, black strap, and my style most days is not that sporty<br /> - It needs to be recharged every night, so I need to be in the habit of charging up to three devices on my nightstand every night (iPhone, iPad, and watch). Oh, and about once a week I recharge my Fitbit. With only two existing plugs there, it gets a bit much.</p> <p>I should really just figure out a logistical solution for the charging thing (not easy, because there's no other good, accessible outlet in our bedroom), and maybe look into another strap for the Apple Watch to make it a bit more fashionable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657965 Tue, 10 May 2016 12:35:08 +0000 Sadie 1657965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got an Apple watch in December and have been wearing it constantly since then- I love it! I echo all the useful functions above (texts, phone calls, exercise monitor- I do elliptical at the Y)- I also love the Apple Pay (works without the phone) and the timer and alarm functions (set timer x minutes- very helpful when you are cooking!) Also the watch bands are a cinch to switch out and there are a ton of Apple and 3rd party bands available. I have the Milanese loop which is extremely comfortable.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657873 Tue, 10 May 2016 05:14:29 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1657873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a few fun ones Amy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657864 Tue, 10 May 2016 04:55:20 +0000 minimalist 1657864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks SarahTheWhite, suggestions welcome anyway. ;-)</p> <p>Right now I'm more concerned with what the watch is telling me on a regular basis, than how it looks. But band options would be a welcome distraction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657856 Tue, 10 May 2016 04:29:26 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1657856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy K, I haven't seen any in person yet, but I just did a search on Amazon and there were a ton! They look really cool, but I don't even have a watch yet,,,, I'm just dreaming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657837 Tue, 10 May 2016 03:44:43 +0000 Laura 1657837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Apple iWatch is a pretty trendy tech toy to have. If you aren't sure of what strap goes best with it, there are places like Aliexpress where you can buy a pack of three straps, all in different colours / styles for your iWatch. That way, you can have a strap to match your outfit / hand bag of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657772 Tue, 10 May 2016 01:47:03 +0000 minimalist 1657772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great timing, Aziraphale! </p> <p>I've had one since they first came out, but just started wearing it in the last week because of the HRM function. 42cm stainless case, black sport strap. I don't know yet whether I *like* it, but it's very useful for the functions I've learned so far. </p> <p>If you live near an apple store, it could be worth going to one of their classes. </p> <p>SarahTheWhite, any suggestions on alternate band options? Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657759 Tue, 10 May 2016 01:07:59 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1657759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree on the two straps. I was just looking on Amazon and they have lots of affordable choices for different bands, I'm thinking of getting the least expensive, sport version and collecting other bands.... I like to mix and match! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657756 Tue, 10 May 2016 00:51:13 +0000 Aziraphale 1657756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runs with scissors -- I had heard something similar about a newer version coming out. I wouldn't get one until Christmas anyway, so hopefully they get the upgrade out by then. :-)</p> <p>Karie, I have become and Apple fan slowly over the past five years. The products are not perfect, but they get a lot of things right. And as an added bonus, they pay a lot of attention to design -- something that's important to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657752 Tue, 10 May 2016 00:43:24 +0000 Karie 1657752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all things Apple, and the watch is no exception. I don't have one (yet) but my vote is get both the red and brown straps.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657743 Tue, 10 May 2016 00:35:03 +0000 Gail 1657743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing offer except that I want one !

I wouldn't have spent for one (I previously was wearing a Zodiac watch I LOVED) but I have enjoyed it, and if something happened to mine I would replace it for sure. &nbsp;I've never added any apps, but I do use the fitness tracker, heart monitor (allegedly Apple Watch has one of the better consumer-grade ones out there), and occasionally track stocks or control music playing on my iPhone (safer/easier when using my phone for music in my car). &nbsp; I also love that texts and phone calls come to my watch -- I used to miss messages a lot because my phone would be buried in my work computer bag.</p> <p>I got the lower-end sport option with a pink band. &nbsp;I wear it all the time -- for work, exercising, etc. &nbsp;</p> <p>Note that the rumor mill suggests that the next version of Apple Watch could come out as soon as June. &nbsp;Or it could be September -- Apple does a good job keeping these secrets! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657736 Tue, 10 May 2016 00:19:28 +0000 Aziraphale 1657736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Aida, that's true...but the brown one is my favourite.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm going to find out about getting TWO straps.

I will find out how easy it is to switch straps. I bet, knowing Apple, that it's super slick. :-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657730 Tue, 10 May 2016 00:04:40 +0000 JAileen 1657730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the brown band.

I love both of your choices... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657725 Mon, 09 May 2016 23:44:19 +0000 Aziraphale 1657725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback, ladies!</p> <p>Ummlila, thanks for the heads-up about the remote shutter clicker. That may come in useful!</p> <p>La Pedestrienne, that's exactly why I asked about the brown leather strap. I'm by no means goth or steampunk, but I do wear a lot of monochromatic, or at least neutral, outfits. The brown strap would look great with many of them, but might ruin some, and a watch is something I'd wear every day. But I do love the look of the brown strap with shiny watch casing.</p> <p>Smittie, the red strap is my second favourite option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-apple-watch-may-be-in-my-future#post-1657639 Mon, 09 May 2016 21:38:31 +0000 Suz 1657639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>You can use it as a remote shutter clicker for your phone, to take WIW of yourself.

Weren't you just talking about your brown leather bag kinda ruining your monochromatic pirate-punk look the other day?

I like the color because I wear it all the time and it doesn't seem clashy with either silver or gold.</p> <p>I probably do not know about all its features, but these are the ones I like:</p> <p>The exercise tracking (also it taps you to remind you to stand up and walk around a little). So far today I have run/walked 3.95 miles, exercised for 83 minutes, and stood up at least once every hour.</p> <p>The immediate access to texts (this has been very useful for my school carpool driving where schedules change on the fly, or on the drive itself). Also it's good at voice recognition so you can dictate your response texts to it.</p> <p>You can use it as a remote shutter clicker for your phone, to take WIW of yourself.

Got him the cognac strap and stainless case, much like aziraphale shows in the first picture.

The stainless steel ones are way more than the aluminum ones. At least I'm not in the market for a metal strap. ;-)</p> <p>(I do see the appeal of the rose gold watch. It makes a masculine-looking accessory look more feminine.
