Never owned one before... Just how much Faster will the Watch 3 be in comparison? They say 70% But that's the only reason why I'm holding of... I'm planning on getting the X for this on November.... In all honestly I'll never usually be without my iPhone when using the Watch...

I'm getting the x, been to look at s8 and decided no thanks.
For the watch I would definitely get the cellular it's the downfall of the watch 1 and 2 having to have your phone with you. Suppose it depends if you exercise and don't want your phone with you . It's why I bought tomtom runner 3 as you don't need a phone with it. But iwatch 3 cellular now does music tracking and you don't need the phone.

I would want to try that facial recognition first before deciding the to buy the phone, if the senior vice president cant get it to work first time then it seems like it might be a bit annoying.

Even though I find it hilarious when things fail for apple (I own iPhone 7 and s1 watch). The face recognition failure was just the iPhone being locked, so you need to put your Touch ID in. Like when you restart your iPhone, so not really a failure

Apple don't make mistakes :P Also it wasn't a restart as the Apple text for restart is different. it was reported as multiple failed attempts from the backstage crew trying to unlock it to make sure the screen cap worked.
Im OK with this to an extent but It is the speed and angle of it im worried for, i don't want to have to get my phone out and hold it in a certain way to get it to unlock. Especially if it is not instantaneous. I don't see why they couldn't just stick a fingerprint scanner on the rear.

If you always have your phone with you, then you're only really paying for the faster processor, which is not worth the extra ~£160 in my opinion. (I suspect OS upgrades have much more impact on the responsiveness than the processor speed, and the series 2 will still be getting the Watch OS 4 upgrade).
BTW, it has built-in GPS/2GB music storage, so you can take it for a run without your phone and still track data/listen to music.

I am not sure about that - because having owned iPhones for the past few years - they do seem to get progressively slower as newer OS is installed on them - wonder if there is an element of obsolescence built into the hardware with respect to the OS and its processor hungry nature?

True - I never upgrade my OS on my phones for this exact reason.

Thankfully not the software!

Can you use the cardiogram stroke detection and gps tracking without an iPhone. That's all I want it for
BrianM to pengwyn
20 Sep 17#24
Neither of these rely on an iPhone. The watch DOES use the iPhone GPS in preference to its own to save power but the Series 2 (as this is!) can, when out of range, switch to using its own inbuilt GPS. Cardiogram needs - I think - one to download the free app (of the same name) from the Apple App Store.

I have a 5c but android is my phone that I carry day to day

Cool story bro
What exactly do you use your 5c for then if your Android phone is what you use on a daily basis? Day 8 of the week is 5c day?

I made a mistake with getting an s4 from cex. I used my s4 active to take photos of bands but it started taking black photos. The iphone 5c has a decent camera. Im slowly moving up the iphone series' however i might jump to an se because they are competitively priced as well im sure you saw the o2 refresh deal at just over a

It will work it's apple. Had every iPhone since the iPhone 4 skipping the s's. If it don't work give them it back.
S8 got stuck in the shop when I was playing about with it, froze up . Told myself no thanks can't live with that so sticking with Apple even thought it's a fing £1000. Selling iPhone 7 for around £350 so £650 not as bad hit

Sorry for being a bit clueless but how does John Lewis price match work, do you just walk in and show them the deal to match
