Apple Jan. 27 launch event... what will it be?

Just finished the software update to iOS 8.2, the Apple Watch app is included and it's one of the permanent iOS apps.

Anyone having Safari problems since updating to 8.3? Logs me out of everything website as soon as I leave it. I'm having to log into CS several times a day.

I know that it acts as a phone as long as your actual phone is right next to you but for some reason you don't want to use it.

I hope you weren't a cheap b*turd and got the gold one.

I got a Samsung watch through work a month or so ago that I thought I'd wear once and put in a drawer somewhere, but I've found that I like it. Unlike the Apple watch, it can function on its own - don't need my phone in my pocket though I usually do have it with me. I get all my calls, emails, and texts on it, and I can reply directly from the phone. It's got its own GPS and does all the fitness stuff as well.

right. also syncs with bluetooth headphones and plays songs from your bluetooth enabled phone only in its immediate vicinity.

So you use the watch to read emails and texts but use the phone to reply?

I've had an Apple watch for a bit now:

Voice text only, but it works insanely well
You can answer your phone in it
Has a convoluted way to take pictures on it using your phone
I get push notifications from my phone

It's only cool for the Mickey time keeping face. And it's comfortable.

No, with the Samsung you can do everything from your watch (without the phone at all). The Apple watch requires you to use your phone.

Yeah, that was a typo. I can reply directly from the watch, not the phone.

you can voice reply if you don't mind looking dumb

I'm browsing CS on my watch right now. Cool.
