I look forward to hearing your impressions, also, Tom, especially those that are medically related.

Tom, clearly you need to downsize the collection, please allow me to be the first to volunteer to take that platona off your hands

Oh, congrats btw, am curious to hear what you think of it

Well thanks guys!

I got it for the exercise tracking, and it is very good. Monitors all movements and compiles more data than all the fit bits etc on the market

Tracks HR great with no chest strap and all your calorie burn for any activity

Well also have no need for your iPhone you easily can completely do EVERYTHING with the watch

Easily make and receive calls, emails and text

Blue tooth range to phone is pretty much anywhere in one of my office buildings

I put my phone on the charger on my desk and really do all with the phone

Apple pay also worked great so no more wallet or even getting your phone out to pay at most places

The fun and cool factor are really hard to beat


Well the final question will it replace your Rolex? Of course not but when at the gym and on the bike it will replace all my other watches I have for that

Will probably wear it on hospital days, office and going out the Rolex of course


Well that's pretty much it

I'm Apple through and through; I have pretty much every product except AirPort Extreme but I won't be getting one.

Good luck with yours though

Good for you Dr. Kerr ...... I've been looking and trying to decide which one to buy. My iPhone 6plus is the space grey color so I'm thinking that's the one I'm going with, however was there something that made you choose one model versus another that someone like myself should keep in mind?

Thanks for any input you can give.

since I use it for mostly sport, went with sport model, not super expensive, good band and I like the matt aluminum vs polished steel

Am I reading this correctly? Do you mean as long as the phone is within, what, Bluetooth range?
