I’ve bought an Apple Watch Series 6 LTE, and I’ve noticed that my screen-time has decreased a lot. I feel that I’m not that addicted to my iPhone.

I feel more free when I go for a walk or shopping wearing just my watch. Now I can left my iPhone at home.

What about you?

    Always thought it doesn’t worth, but after having a Ultra it has changed my mind. Love to go to groceries, to run, walks, without my phone, listening to music, podcasts.

      It takes a little bit for it to swap over. I was upset the first time I tried it, but didn’t realize this.

      If that’s not the issue the watch is definitely defective and needs to be serviced/looked at.

        Yea sometimes if you’re not too far away from your iPhone the watch will keep going back and forth from LTE to Bluetooth connection with the iPhone.

        When I leave my iPhone behind I turn Bluetooth in the watch off to speed up the transition to LTE

    I didn’t get an LTE watch as I could not envision a reason to not bring my phone with me whenever I go some where.

    Definitely. Usually leave my phone in the office during lunch now or for late night walks. So nice knowing I can remain in touch if need be but be free from my phone for a bit.

    Yes, for sure, I’m leaving my phone at home as often as possible. I only really take it with me when I go to work or any trip that lasts longer than a few hours. Before, I was pretty much glued to my phone

    Nope. Not even a little. If anything it’s actually increased it because I want to keep tabs on my activity numbers.

    Definitely. I can see the name of the song playing on my watch instead of on my phone. I have AOD turned off on my phone.

    I’ve found a couple issues with trying to use my watch without my phone. 1) I always seem to want my camera when I don’t have it; 2) you can’t create/ edit a note or ask Siri to make a note from the watch, even when it’s connected to the phone; 3) if you want to make/ take a phone call in public, you better have your AirPods with you.

    I’ve had my Ultra 2 for a month or so now and I’ve found myself trying to be more “daring” by leaving my phone at home. Unfortunately, like a lot of people, when it’s work hours, I gotta have my phone for emails and the such, but it’s been a nice release to leave it at home when I take the dog for a walk or leave the house for a bit.
