hey guys it's craig the new apple
[2]
watches are out and
[3]
the holidays are approaching if you're
[5]
in the market to buy an apple watch you
[7]
might be thinking do i go with cellular
[9]
or gps i was someone who thought going
[12]
cellular was dumb
[13]
but now i wouldn't go any other way
[16]
let's look at the number one reason
[17]
why i would go cellular and 10 everyday
[20]
uses
[21]
for a cellular version of the apple
[23]
watch if you haven't checked it out yet
[25]
i did make a video on 10 everyday uses
[27]
for any apple watch
[29]
you can find the link to that video in
[30]
the description along with some amazon
[33]
links
[34]
to some apple watches and amazon's a
[36]
great place to look for apple devices
[39]
you'd be surprised some of the savings
[40]
you'll find there
[41]
so check out those links if you want to
[43]
learn more so i found with cellular
[45]
apple watches there's people that
[47]
absolutely love it there's people who
[49]
are on the fence do we go with it
[52]
i'm not sure and then there's people who
[54]
think it's completely unnecessary
[56]
i used to think it's completely
[57]
unnecessary you buy the apple watch
[60]
you pay a hundred dollars more because
[61]
it's cellular you then pay ten to
[63]
fifteen dollars a month for cellular
[66]
service
[67]
over the course of three years you're
[70]
paying about twelve hundred dollars
[72]
with this watch that sounded like a
[74]
complete waste of money to me but last
[76]
year it clicked
[77]
what you're paying for when you buy a
[79]
cellular apple watch
[80]
is being able to disconnect now i know
[84]
there's gonna be people out there that
[85]
are like just disconnect leave your
[86]
phone at home
[87]
and for a lot of people that's just not
[89]
possible so the apple watch with
[91]
cellular gives you the tools you need to
[93]
stay in touch with family
[94]
to get your work done connect with
[97]
friends
[98]
and not miss any of those important
[100]
communications that you may
[101]
need a cellular apple watch lets you
[103]
disconnect from all the distractions of
[105]
a smartphone
[106]
but give you the tools to take care of
[109]
your personal life
[110]
and work life for communication even
[113]
checking emails
[115]
sending messages really a lot of stuff
[117]
you could do over cellular
[119]
while leaving the iphone at home you
[120]
think about it that way and you pay 10
[122]
to 15 dollars a month to disconnect
[124]
for your own mental health to go on a
[127]
hike or
[128]
walk without the phone there and still
[130]
have those tools that you need
[132]
that's definitely worth it to me now
[133]
here are 10 things that you can do with
[135]
the apple watch while on cellular
[137]
and leaving your phone behind make sure
[139]
to stay to the end there's one big thing
[141]
that's missing while on
[142]
cellular that i think would make a huge
[145]
difference number one and probably the
[147]
most
[147]
important is being able to make phone
[149]
calls now you can make a phone call
[151]
using the speaker that's built into the
[153]
apple watch or
[154]
you can pair a set of bluetooth
[156]
headphones or
[158]
airpods to it and have a conversation
[160]
that way i found having airpods in the
[162]
sound is great
[164]
i wouldn't be able to tell that i'm
[166]
using a watch here's how you'd make a
[168]
call you have access to your favorites
[169]
recents
[170]
contacts or you can use the keypad to
[172]
dial in a phone number let me call my
[175]
wife
[175]
just to demonstrate
[178]
hey i'm recording a video and just
[180]
needed to make a quick phone call
[182]
with my apple watch okay all right
[185]
that's all so i'll let you go i'll talk
[189]
love you too bye bye i was out on the
[192]
hike with just the apple watch and some
[194]
air pods
[195]
halfway through my airpods ended up
[197]
dying well my brother ended up calling
[199]
me and we had a conversation since
[201]
nobody was around i don't want to be
[203]
that person
[204]
on speakerphone around other people he
[206]
didn't even realize i was just talking
[208]
to him through the watch
[209]
and it really it sounded great it wasn't
[212]
annoying
[213]
for either one of us just don't be that
[216]
person who
[217]
talks on speakerphone to your watch and
[219]
annoys everybody else
[221]
number two is music radio and podcast
[224]
for these you are going to need a set of
[226]
bluetooth headphones
[227]
you can't listen to music using the
[229]
speaker in the apple watch
[231]
you also can't use third-party services
[233]
pretty much
[234]
the only things you could do with an
[235]
apple watch on cellular
[237]
are apple apps but there are a lot of
[240]
great tools as you'll see
[241]
with the music app you have the option
[243]
to look for things within your library
[245]
check out your different playlists or
[248]
choose the listen now option that's
[251]
going to give you access to different
[252]
things that you may have listened to
[254]
like my daughter's fart sounds and
[256]
similar artist
[258]
that she found funny so you can grab
[259]
your stations or you can
[262]
go through and look for some different
[263]
things to listen to
[265]
with radio you're going to get your
[266]
different stations here
[268]
and and you're just different stations
[270]
that you may
[271]
listen to you could browse some of the
[273]
other stations or pick based on
[275]
genre with podcast you can go through
[277]
and see the different podcasts you
[279]
subscribe to
[280]
here is my buddy ian corzine and now i
[284]
could select my airpods pros
[286]
with the regular apple watch you could
[288]
download music and podcasts
[290]
and leave your phone behind and play
[292]
directly from the watch i never download
[295]
anything in
[295]
advance so having the flexibility with a
[298]
cellular apple watch
[299]
really is great because who knows what
[302]
i'm going to be doing through the day
[303]
i might go for a hike i could just grab
[305]
some music or podcasting
[307]
number three is notifications you'll get
[309]
the notifications that you would
[311]
normally get on your phone but with a
[312]
lot of them you're not going to be able
[314]
to respond to them now things like
[315]
messages
[316]
and emails you can respond to which is
[320]
really nice
[320]
so you can get a preview if those things
[323]
are there
[324]
respond or get back to that computer to
[326]
take care of some business
[328]
number four is mail if you get a
[330]
notification that email comes through
[332]
you can open up the mail app
[334]
take a look at that email choose to
[336]
respond to it if you want
[337]
delete it it's really easy to respond
[340]
using dictation
[341]
typing up an email to try this out over
[345]
cellular with my apple watch period
[352]
i find it's great for those emails that
[353]
you have to respond to quickly
[355]
or maybe it's one of those ones that's
[357]
just a little short email you answer it
[358]
quickly and it's uh
[360]
off your plate here's one that i'm
[362]
sending to myself
[363]
typing up an email to try this out over
[366]
cellular with my apple watch
[368]
now i can send it and it's off
[371]
and there's my mail so if you do have to
[375]
respond to mail there it is
[377]
just came in dictating emails is very
[379]
quick to do
[380]
and it's a great way to be able to
[382]
respond while disconnecting from your
[384]
phone
[385]
number five is messages and messages are
[387]
great
[388]
you can send over cellular imessages
[392]
sms messages and mms messages
[395]
really to be able to dictate out a
[398]
message quickly
[399]
is very convenient
[402]
hey honey dictating a message to
[406]
show how you can send text
[410]
over cellular on the apple watch period
[414]
love you period
[418]
i respond a lot of messages using
[420]
dictation because it is so
[422]
fast and easy number six is siri while
[425]
on cellular siri
[427]
is still available and very helpful for
[429]
interacting
[430]
with the phone over cellular such as
[433]
responding to those messages using
[435]
dictation
[436]
or asking for directions to somewhere
[438]
and loading a map up
[440]
directions to starbucks
[443]
which starbucks
[448]
and getting walking directions i guess
[451]
because
[452]
i'm looking it up on my watch only 26
[454]
minutes for 1.3 miles
[456]
you can make calls with siri and so much
[458]
more now i wouldn't consider siri the
[460]
brightest smart assistant but it's not
[462]
bad when
[463]
interacting with watch os mac os
[466]
or ios apps i find everything's very
[469]
responsive and accurate in those
[471]
situations
[472]
but you want to search for something
[475]
good luck with that
[476]
number seven is the home app with a home
[478]
app you can trigger scenes and your
[480]
devices
[481]
right from the watch maybe you need to
[482]
remotely unlock the door for someone
[485]
or you realize that you left the lights
[487]
on all that stuff you can access
[489]
if you made it one of your favorite
[491]
scenes or favorite accessories
[493]
on your iphone i can connect to my
[495]
camera from my watch and now i'm seeing
[497]
a live view of my backyard
[499]
controlling your smart home from your
[501]
wrist on cellular potentially in the
[504]
middle of nowhere without a phone
[506]
is pretty cool number eight is reminders
[508]
you can continue to access reminders
[511]
or create new reminders over cellular i
[514]
love reminders
[515]
i keep track of things i need to do
[517]
through the day i use it to jot down
[519]
ideas
[520]
and i sync my shopping list with my wife
[522]
so if something pops into my head on a
[524]
hike that i need to remember
[526]
just jot it down in reminders number
[528]
nine is apple pay
[530]
apple pay will work on non-cellular
[532]
versions of the apple watch
[534]
but i think it's such a great feature
[536]
that it's worth bringing up here
[537]
especially now with not wanting to have
[540]
contact with certain
[541]
surfaces with everything going on it's
[543]
nice being able to use
[544]
apple pay but if you use apple pay from
[547]
your phone
[548]
if you have a mask on it's the face id
[551]
doesn't recognize you
[552]
the apple watch you've already unlocked
[554]
it because it's on your wrist
[556]
so a double tap on the side button will
[558]
bring up
[559]
your credit cards for apple pay you
[561]
select one you stick it over the reader
[563]
no touching anything very convenient i'm
[566]
glad that works with
[568]
with or without a phone number 10 is the
[570]
health apps
[571]
this is another one that works on
[572]
cellular or gps models of the apple
[575]
watch but
[576]
since fitness tracking is a huge feature
[579]
of the apple watch i think it's good to
[580]
mention it in this video
[582]
so you know that you don't need your
[584]
phone to take advantage
[586]
of tracking your workouts to be able to
[589]
access the different workouts
[591]
i don't know what happened there i
[594]
totally lost my train i thought
[596]
your activity app will continue to work
[599]
and track your progress
[600]
throughout your day you can use the
[603]
different workouts
[604]
especially the combination of gps is
[607]
great
[608]
and the compass for running around and
[610]
doing some of these workouts
[612]
on the screen now are the different apps
[614]
that work on both
[616]
cellular and gps models without the
[618]
phone
[619]
so you see that between the cellular and
[622]
the gps apps you do have
[624]
a lot of stuff you can do without a
[626]
phone now let's talk about what the big
[628]
thing is missing on cellular apple
[630]
watches
[631]
it is third-party app support so
[634]
if you listen to audiobooks on audible
[637]
you're not going to stream those
[638]
over cellular you only can stream apple
[642]
audio books you're a spotify user you're
[644]
not going to be able to take advantage
[646]
of cellular and stream spotify not
[649]
having third-party apps over
[651]
cellular may be a deal breaker for some
[653]
people just something to think about if
[654]
you use a non-apple service another
[656]
thing to think about is the cellular
[658]
apple watch is meant to be away from
[660]
your phone
[661]
for a certain period of time apple when
[664]
they do all their
[665]
battery calculations they're not doing a
[668]
full day with this
[669]
thing just being completely free of a
[672]
phone
[673]
they're doing mixed use i usually use
[675]
mine for about two to three hours on
[677]
cellular if i'm out for a hike
[679]
but i wouldn't expect to use it for
[681]
eight hours away from my phone
[683]
and still get good battery life overall
[686]
the apple watch to me is about
[687]
disconnecting from the distractions of a
[689]
phone
[690]
but still having all the important tools
[693]
that a cell phone
[694]
offers being able to leave the phone at
[696]
home is
[697]
nice it does feel weird to not have the
[700]
phone in the pocket and
[702]
know your phone is on your wrist but it
[705]
also feels very
[706]
freeing to me that's worth the 10 to 15
[709]
dollars a month
[710]
do you use a cellular apple watch or
[713]
would you get a cellular version next
[716]

[718]

[719]
great apple watch information that can
[721]
help you out
[722]

[724]
watching bye
