Agreed. Having to charge only a couple times a week rather than every night.
This would even justify an upgrade from Series 2 for me.

It would be an ugly mess, just like Pebble.
Those are some tacky Watch faces, and if Apple were to open it up, it would be best if it weren't done like Pebble but by people that Apple heavily vetted and approved.
Pebble didn't/doesn't care about trademark violations or ugly designs. We do need some new watch faces and Apple needs to get on that. But not by dropping the bar.
mogelijk said:My thought would be for Apple to allow watch faces to be "sold" through the App Store. This way, Apple could still maintain control and try to prevent copyright issues while giving users much more choice in the watch face they use. It would be interesting to see what new designs are created. I wouldn't be surprised to see tie-in watch faces (for things like games and movies). Then again, Apple may have signed an exclusive deal with Disney, to get Mickey, Minnie, and Toy Story characters on the watch, and this is part of the reason they have so heavily restricted the watch face.
Selling Watch faces through the store would still be a problem because Apple would have to curate every Watch face for copyright violation. They didn't do a very good job with that Swiss train station clock years back. They changed a few elements but it was too close for Swiss comfort.
That still would address the fact that less than stellar faces would cheap the look in some eyes, especially Apple's, who's going for some elegance over utility. Rolls-Royce wanted their car back after John Lennon had it custom painted, because they felt in damaged their image in the luxury car sector.
Apple absolutely had to make a deal for the Disney characters. There may already be other deals made for more characters, but I wonder if any will be made after that since Disney did/is pull/pulling their content from iTunes.
But yes, Apple needs more Watch faces. That'spartlymainly the reason I'll get a Nike+ S3C. LOL
Well, other than TMobile screwing us on the extra monthly charge but worth it I guess.

Details please.
Apple store said $10 per month for LTE service when I bought the watch. Went to T-Mobile store downstairs in mall and it was actually an extra $15 per month now. Seems expensive but, as in one of my other replies, this is a medical lifeline for me in a way so viewed in that regard, worth it.
Are you on autopay? We're on the Tmobile One plan with autopay on and when we activated our watches through our phones it clearly said $10/mo with the first three months free.
Interesting they specifically mention "from any non-T-Mobile channel." I was talking to reps in a corporate store, and they said the three months free has been discontinued as of March -- it appears if you buy the watch from T-Mobile you no longer get the three months free (or possibly even if you activate it in a store).
