jackc Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Title says it all 🤩 for sometime now I have been eyeing off getting a Apple Watch, which will have quite a few possible benefits for me but I’m also interested in the aviation aspect of where the benefits could be so that I can justify myself. It’s worth spending the money on and I will get a decent one. Probably an Ultra 3 which seems full of features, has cellular and even satellite? I think if that’s any advantage to me for aviation purposes and anything else along the way. So I’m interested in people‘s experiences with them and then I can work out if I can justify spending the money. I don’t think it’s worth going for the cheaper line of anything if I want the features and need them I’ve gotta pay for them.
Moneybox Posted November 24 Posted November 24 If you slam into the ground to hard and fast your apple watch will call the emergency services. That's got to be worth something 😊 1

onetrack Posted Monday at 11:12 PM Posted Monday at 11:12 PM That's terrible treatment on behalf of your wife! Apple watches aren't designed to take that kind of abuse! 1

Thanks for that info, looked up your link and had a good read. I see there are many models, but the X15 looks great. Made me reevaluate my whole idea that Apple Watch may not be my answer? Need to see IF my Aera 660 may connect to it as well, probably no advantage but will check.

This indicates that it will but it will cost you https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-49EC93CF-DA3F-4514-817F-4098FC4A71AE/EN-US/GUID-621EAB08-32EF-4F23-8987-704A7ABC3E03.html
