First Apple Watch reviews were published during this day by various American and foreign publications chosen by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to present to the whole world and most of them focused on the idea of showing the world what a week of using the watch looks like, how useful it is and what battery life it has. In all these interested reviews there are still at least 15 secrets related to Apple Watch, providing us with hitherto unknown details regarding the experience of using the watch, but also its functionality in various conditions.
In this idea, today we learn about Apple Watch as:
- it has a complex interface that will confuse some users, the watch imposing a period of several days of adaptation to understand all the functions and information offered to us;
- activating the screen can prove to be difficult, the watch being configured to activate only in case of certain movements of the hand, in some situations it refuses to activate;
- the notification system is extremely annoying in the native configuration, users having to manually configure their contact lists for email notifications or the really useful applications that provide them with information, otherwise the watch interrupts almost any action;
- the Sport bracelet is the only one with which the Apple Watch sensors work 100% correctly, because not all bracelets hold the watch tightly on the wrist, and the sensors need contact with the skin to work, especially when it comes to Apple Pay;
- the loudspeaker is semi-useless for phone calls, not being able to offer a good experience for outdoor conversations, the microphone picking up ambient noise in many cases.
- the performance is very poor, especially in applications that require GPS, the Apple company promising to solve the problem;
- use involves the use of both hands, and looking at the screen is mandatory during use to tap the correct buttons, while attaching a Sport bracelet might require help from a friend;
- Apple Pay works great, but the security code can get annoying because it involves re-entering it every time you open the watch from your wrist;
- the third-party applications are currently not sufficiently well developed, they have an extremely limited and bad functionality, with very difficult installation, while some of them were automatically deleted from the watches during use;
- dependence on iPhone terminals does not prevent the use of Siri, sending messages or fitness monitoring when an Apple smartphone is not nearby, the condition being that the watch is connected to a known Wi-Fi hotspot;
- the battery autonomy of 1 day is valid in most cases, many of those who tested the watch being able to use it from waking up to going to bed without charging;
- charging takes about an hour and a half, but sometimes the charging cable is not fixed correctly on the watch, charging being interrupted during the night;
- the application for playing music is mediocre and does not offer a user experience similar to that existing in iPods;
- Siri has a limited functionality, many of the questions asked through the watch directing the users to the iPhone, this of course in the situations where Siri answered the questions;
- in the end, there is also the social impact of constantly checking the watch, most of those around the reviewers asking them if they need to go to another location since they are constantly checking their watch, this could be a serious problem for many.
Having said that, the above information will probably make it easier for you to choose an Apple Watch.
