I realized there wasn't one, so ta-dah, I'm making one. Not that it's really needed perhaps, given that nobody's bothered so far, and maybe I am the only wearer of one on all of B3D? *shrug*
Anyhow, I'm making one.
So I've had mine for about a year now, or a little more actually I think. It's been a pretty OK gadget for the most, although with some kinks and quirks, particularly with the UI design. A bunch of which they're fixing in watchOS 3, by the way. (Which brings me to why the hell Apple simply isn't calling it something like iOS 10 for Apple Watch (and iOS 10 for Apple TV, to bring version number conformity and synergies across product lines.)
One big gripe I've had is with the weather app, that it seemingly can't gather weather data on its own, and has to have it pushed to it upon user request. Other apps are like that as well, but as I only use like weather and exercise (and sometimes timer, stopwatch and calendar), I only see it with the weather app. This is being fixed, and in wOS3 apps can run in the background and siphon data on their own. Hopefully without nuking battery life in the process...
Bought a nylon band for my Watch the other day. I was kinda tired of the original white rubber band (which isn't actually pristine snowy white anymore... *ahem*), and you get kinda sweaty underneath it too, so I splurged, even though it cost me almost the equivalent of US$61. Ugh goddamn. I'm only doing this once, though. Ever.
Interestingly, the nylon band (which is really well designed and manufactured) is much lighter than the original white rubber band. It's really a huge difference! Makes the sports Watch feel much sportier; apart from the sensation of having the strap snuggle your wrist you barely feel that it's there. The rubber band had much more heft in it, and overall I must say I prefer it this way. When I upgrade to a new model of Watch, I'm absolutely getting a nylon band from the get-go.
