My First Apple Watch. Coming from a Samsung Gear S3 Classic

[nakialjohnson83]

To be honest I always wanted a Apple Watch and I final made the switch on yesterday at the T Mobile Store at the Magnificent Mile in my hometown Chicago IL. To me it’s better then the Samsung Gear I got tired of that watch and Samsung Galaxy S9 I jump back to apple on yesterday the best decision I made. Yes I like using both platforms but I got sick of android too many apps crashing bloatware etc.

Welcome (back) to the addiction.

Now, if you got the LTE version, while you can use it on wifi only (as the wife and I did for a while) I do recommend activating it on LTE if you can. I never thought I'd actually like leaving the house without my phone, but over the past few days (just activated on LTE last Friday evening at dinner) I've taken my evening walks and bike rides with nothing buy my watch and airpods playing Apple Music. It's nice not to have my phone in my pocket and worrying about it.

No, the Apple Watch requires a standard monthly postpaid account on Verizon.

Congrats!!! I love my Apple Watch. I've said many times that my AW keeps me using an iPhone more than the phone itself.

Congratulations. I left Samsung 18 months ago. Glad I did. Cellular is my 2nd Apple Watch. Just got it paid off! Love it

I must admit that while I was using the Note 8, the Gear S3 Frontier was amazing. One thing I’d like  to implement would be a full QWERTY keyboard on the watch.

Some sort of keyboard function is high on my list as well of things I'd like to see in watchOS.
