Do you text with friends, family, or colleagues, and if so, is it from the laptop? I find my communication hampered without the phone, but like the idea of leaving it away from me more often.


The texting is actually pretty good from the watch, can use Siri or type into the watch keyboard. Same with phone calls, I use the air pods to connect and its like talking on a regular phone.

Apple pay works very well. Get emails, slack messages, etc. Can easily reply to slack messages from the watch. Cant see conversations but

Basically everything works that I need.

Alot of apps dont work, but thats the point. I dont need those apps all the time.


Yeah iMessage has a pretty great tie in with iPhones to the point that they don’t even have to be on the same network to send an sms from your laptop via your phone.


Just remember to deregister your number if you ever move off of Apple, or else every text from any iPhone to you will disappear into the void


This used to be true but is not true anymore.
