Popular podcast app Overcast was updated yesterday and it was the most exciting update I've seen in a long time to a podcast app. This update added the ability for users to load podcast episodes directly onto the Apple Watch. This is a big deal, and is something
While Apple did little of what I asked them for last year, I still think watchOS 3 was a great update to the platform. The most significant change was of course with performance, as those who felt their original Apple Watches were slow got a big speed upgrade. Here'
An interesting piece on 9to5Google from someone who is more than a little disenchanted with smart watches: Google wants to convince you to buy a smartwatch based on the unrealistic things that abnormal people are — not really — using them for in their lives. And then people buy smartwatches, realize that
The Wrist — The Brooks Review When I wear the Apple Watch I feel as though I am never out of contact. Tap, tap — your turn on this game. Tap, tap – someone made a joke about you in Slack. Tap, tap – unimportant text message. Tap, tap – news news news. I understand
I got this one for $10 on eBay and it's pretty crappy. The rubber feels incredibly cheap and the lugs barely fit when you try to connect it to the Apple Watch. I would go on, but I honestly don't know what else you need to
Okay, I want these. TOMS is the company who famously give 1 pair of shoes to people in need for every pair they sell. It's a great initiative, and something that more companies should strive to match. This week the company announced they are selling Apple Watch bands,
Remember a few weeks back when I expressed my concerns with Apple Watch sales? Well there are new numbers out from Canalys that suggest the smart watch industry is actually doing much better. So while IDC reported a 51% decrease in smart watch sales in Q3 2016 and a 71%
I just saw this new product called CMRA, a band for your Apple Watch that has not one but two cameras built into the strap. There's one 8MP camera for taking pictures of the world around you, and a 2MP "front facing" camera for selfies and
This Reddit user just got an Apple Watch and needless to say it's made a good first impression. Why I love Apple from AppleWatch It's a very quick read, so check out his story.
IDC released new numbers on the smart watch market, and they don't look good. Overall, the market is down 51% over last year (quarter over quarter), and the Apple Watch's sales were down 71%! Let's talk about that 71% first. It makes total sense
Call me a bad American, but I prefer to measure my runs in kilometers than miles. So while I'm perfectly happy to have my driving directions in miles, my weight tracked in pounds, and my temperature in Fahrenheit, all I want is my runs in that other format.
Bradley Chambers: After thinking through the watch's role in our lives, I've finally settled on the fact that the Apple Watch needs cellular. iPhones are fantastic. They are great cameras, and they allow us to carry extremely powerful computer in your pocket. I do see a
The internet is rife with people talking about the smartphone, tablet, and laptop setups, but you don’t really see into what people are doing on their smart watches. This isn’t surprising as there are many fewer of us smart watch owners out there, and there are fewer things
Josh Ginter is a great writer, and I always enjoy reading his thoughts on Apple's mobile devices (see here, here, and here). Today he shared some first impressions of the Apple Watch Series 2, so of course I rushed to check them out. I agree with him on
