I'm looking to get this upgrade. I'm still using my 1st Gen one and love it. Every day I wear it and use it.
Cellular is the big feature for me. I'm loving the idea of leaving my phone behind. I'm guessing Verizon will be happy to take another $10 a month from me too, assuming they charge the same price as a tablet.

I still use my first edition watch. I give it a C+. My biggest gripe is battery life. If it isn't charged at night, it is unusable the next day. I don't use apps, disabled most notifications, and never use my heart monitor. I was hoping that by the third generation they would have more competitive battery. Garmin has watches that last a week with GPS, heart monitors, sleep monitors, ect. I am a bit disappointed that Apple is focused more on gimmicky features than addressing basic functionality.

Has anyone noticed that when the Apple Watch is charging, if it walk up to it the display lights up? How does this happen?

Yes, it is because the motion sensor in the Watch is sensitive enough that movement of the floor can trigger that "Night stand" mode or whatever it is called. At night if you tap on the night stand it will light up and show you the time and charge level.

I absolutely LOVE my Apple Watch, buuuuuut......the updates take so long! It drives me insane. I believe the newest update was 4.3.1 and it took 1:20+ to download and update. It drives me crazy.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of how long that takes. It really sucks because you get warned not to switch Watches while one is updating.
If you wait a week or so to update it goes by much faster. At least it seems that way to me. Louis L'Amour, “To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers.
