Conclusion
I have personally been waiting for the day where I don’t have to carry my phone around when I go for a run and that day took a while but it finally came.
You can of course personalize your watch with the many different wristbands available as well as the choice from two different face sizes.
Do keep in mind that this feature is only allowed in the US and there will be an additional charge to utilize your apple watch.
All in all, I think this is a great buy at around $350.
Well worth the wait and a big addition to that minimalistic lifestyle.
