After one week with the Watch, what amazes me even more is how its managed to untether me from my iPhone. It looks so cool, Im more apt to wear it—and use it—all the time. (Even my favorite fitness trackers come off when I attend weddings or other dressy events.) And while I used to walk around with my iPhone in my hand 24-7—an admittedly obnoxious habit at home and at work—now I can discreetly tuck it into my handbag and not think about it unless a notification on the Watch inspires me to, say, respond to an email. I can buy a coffee, route myself somewhere new via a map, summon an Uber, and (soon!) check Instagram from my wrist. The fitness stuff, it turns out, is the bonus.
