    Yea. I use it every day now. I’ve set up my widgets so that I can see the information I want than I just raise and double tap through them to see what time looking for. I’ve also been doing the double tap to dictation to respond to texts without having to touch the screen. I’ve also use it to pause/play music or podcasts while doing dishes so I don’t have to dry my hands off first

    Plus Double Tap, which I’m surprised isn’t being mentioned here more. It’s literally a brand new, hands free user input method that is bound to be a major part of the user experience in updates to come, especially since the gesture was borne out of the new Vision Pro UI/UX. Given that only the S9 and Ultra 2 support it right now, those are the only two models that are more future proofed against Apple’s future UX plans

    So I know that price is the motivating factor here but a watch isn’t like a phone you swap out every couple years. I would definitely not buy a previous years model, and further, after getting a S9 myself, I think the new Double Tap gesture is going to become a major user input tool going forward, and I wouldn’t want to buy something that I’m planning on using for the next five years that cannot do what is bound to be an integral part to the UI/UX in subsequent OS updates.

    I’d do whatever you can to splurge for the 9, just to future proof your purchase as much as possible





  • I will say that photos OCR capabilities are pretty great.

    The other day I needed into my router to a change something and I couldn’t remember the password, but I remember I took a photo of the sticker, so I pulled up photos and searched ‘admin’ and found the picture immediately. I’ve done the same with “ice cream” to find an old photo we really like of my daughter eating ice cream. It’s search function is pretty great
