Apparently the watch face turn on algorithm needs tilt + up, not just tilt. That'll explain it then.
That's also a bit shit.

To be honest though I've never once used a sat nav and thought it could be improved if it was shrunk until it was just a bit bigger than a postage stamp.

I've ordered a new strap, just to see how it looks with something a bit more traditional

Reddit thinks non-standard straps lead to the back cracking.

The more I think about it, and the more I learn about the watch industry, the world of luxury goods, and the booming upper class of China, the better I feel about that bet. I don’t think I was wrong to place a friendly late night bar bet on a $9,999 starting price. I think I was wrong to guess just $4,999 in my ostensibly sober published analysis.

I can see which way the wind is blowing. For months I’ve been asking friends who might know — or know someone else who might know, or even know someone who knows someone who might know — whether my guess of $5,000 is too high for the Edition starting price. The answer has always been “No”. But the way I’ve been told “No” has given me the uneasy feeling that I’ve been asking the wrong question. I should have been asking if $5,000 is too low.

I now think Edition models will start around $10,000 — and, if my hunch is right about bands and bracelets, the upper range could go to $20,000. I was off by a factor of two, and my friend Vincent, I think, nailed it back on the day Apple Watch was introduced.

Apple Watch Edition is not a tech product, so don’t try to price it like one.

This seems *ahem* timely. I lived with a smartwatch for three months and wrote up my Use Cases For Smart Watches: http://actionatadistance.net/post/11325 ... rt-watches

Android Wear came out for iOS yesterday, so if you think the Apple Watch is too expensive but would like a smart watch you've now got some alternatives.

It gets you all your notifications, which is pretty much all you need.

connect bluetooth headset directly when running so I don't need to take my phone.

What's happening here then? Are you playing music through the headset? Or giving yourself the ability to take calls while you're running, even though your phone's somewhere completely different?

How does it work when you go running? It can't let you take calls without the phone nearby, surely?

You can sync up to 1GB of music directly to the watch. Then connect a set of Bluetooth headphones et voila!

Nice. So I guess it wouldn't work with something like Spotify, just mp3s you've synced to the watch. Still, that's the first smartwatch feature I've found particularly appealing.

You can pick up an MP3 player for less than £10 if that's all you want it to do

Googke fit uses phone and my mate Dave says is ok.
