    If you can afford the latest and greatest and spending doesn’t matter, the 9 is an amazing choice. But if I was dipping into smart watches and I were cost conscious, the SE 2 GPS is amazing too. And you can get an SE 2 pretty cheap right now, even in the 44 mm size.

    It’s the ink. But this reminds me of the very first AW I ever got. It had a bad sensor and it returned to the Lock Screen constantly. I didn’t know jack about the AW and I thought maybe it was a feature. Took me a couple of hours to realize it. During that time I’m thinking, “This thing really sucks!”

    #1 … making a call from a Contact. #2 … constructing a text from a Contact with speech-to-text. #3 … reading and responding to incoming texts. #4 … setting timers and alarms. #5 … music volume control. #6 … weather status. #7 … time, including time in other cities. I’m experimenting with using it to get directions from Maps, but honestly I don’t like the Maps app much so I use this sparingly. Also experimenting using it to play things on Spotify. That hasn’t proved very reliable.
