I just got an Apple Watch for Christmas and this shows up in my recommended... trippy.

I have the 1st generation apple watch they're now no longer supporting and calling "generation zero". It's weird watching this video and seeing how fast you can do things on the new apple watch.

If they can put a battery which can last at least 1-2 weeks that would be perfect to use for all purpose

That last tip with the auto launch of audio apps was clutch. Thank you!

[JamesBrodski]

I should be getting an Apple Watch 3 tomorrow. I'm so excited! Can't wait to learn all the features it has.

Ngl. Had my phone watch for ages and the best thing from this video was holding the iPhone locate button and flashes !! Good stuff

I’m horrendous with technology, so I rely on videos like this to navigate new tech purchases. This video was so great! I learned new tricks I haven’t seen in other videos.

Learning more about the watch every day, but THIS was the most helpful!

6 out of 7 of those things I actually knew nothing about. Great video, thanks man! 🤜💥🤛

i knew them except for the last one which made me so happy!!!

I think I prefer the honeycomb app layout over list view...from your phone you can rearrange the tiles which is nice. I try to cluster similar apps together...ie- communication apps at top of honeycomb, productivity at bottom, audio to left, others to right

[WilliamWallis]

Thought I knew them all until the last one. Thanks for posting.

[luke_no_skywalker]

The last tip is really great! Thank you

[famousfrankz]

The last tip was very well appreciated

[nd-place]

Does this mean my watch won’t start changing my audio randomly now when my sleeve brushes against the Digital Crown? I hate that. Turned this off to see how that goes. I’ve been waiting for a software update to fix this.

I didn’t know about the long press to flash the iPhone while pinging or the scrolling through words while writing either. Good stuff guy!
