I have a non LTE version but it does too, the Watch is in my pocket, unused

Always thought it doesn’t worth, but after having a Ultra it has changed my mind. Love to go to groceries, to run, walks, without my phone, listening to music, podcasts.

I sadly can’t use cellular on my cellular aw since apple doesn’t allow to have different contracts for the phone and aw :/ The moment I put a different sim in the iphone the sim on the aw gets disabled

Nope. Not even a little. If anything it’s actually increased it because I want to keep tabs on my activity numbers.

No

I’ve had my Ultra 2 for a month or so now and I’ve found myself trying to be more “daring” by leaving my phone at home. Unfortunately, like a lot of people, when it’s work hours, I gotta have my phone for emails and the such, but it’s been a nice release to leave it at home when I take the dog for a walk or leave the house for a bit.

I’ve found a couple issues with trying to use my watch without my phone. 1) I always seem to want my camera when I don’t have it; 2) you can’t create/ edit a note or ask Siri to make a note from the watch, even when it’s connected to the phone; 3) if you want to make/ take a phone call in public, you better have your AirPods with you.

I wish AW had support for:

-Uber/Lyft

-Apple CarPlay

-Picking up a Target 🎯 Drive Up Order

-Camera

Definitely. I can see the name of the song playing on my watch instead of on my phone. I have AOD turned off on my phone.

Nope. Still need my phone for insulin pump and cgm

Yep! Checking time and messages has been so much easier, and being able to run to the store or just walk around the block without my phone is amazing. I wasn’t much of a phone user before, but this definitely cut screen time down by a good chunk

To me, the answer is sort of a yes. I still need my phone for work. I can substitute it with a tablet or laptop, but I might as well just use my iPhone. I need to be available to respond to emails, word process, edit spreadsheets, etc. So, I usually just keep a small bluetooth keyboard in my work bag.

For my personal life, I was considering a Light Phone, but decided an Apple Watch Ultra made more sense, it’s only $5/month more and I can track my health with it. I still use my iPhone a lot more than I need to, but having the option to just leave it at home for mundane tasks is nice. I usually don’t bring my iPhone on walks, grocery store or coffee trips anymore unless I know I’m probably going to want to take photos.

I’d be more inclined to leave my phone at home if Meta would release a WhatsApp Apple Watch app. I know there are third party apps, such as Watch Chat 2 but they all feel very clunky. Last part of the puzzle IMO

Pixel Watch/Phone user here … Nope, use the phone probably even more. The only reason for the watch is to track sleep, and wear when cycling in case of an emergency

I leave my iPhone at home when I walk the dogs, go walking and if I go out during work. Even though the 15 Pro Max is lighter, it’s still a heavy beast.
