Thanks for the insight. I asked because I hear about people switching phones all the time, but for me the cloud, with it's calendars, contacts, backup, ect would make me want to stick with one system. Thats one of the reasons I got so pissed when HP dropped Palm. It used to be the cats pajamas. When the stopped supporting it, there was no converting the 10 years worth of stuff I had without doing it all manually. I kept the phone in a drawer for reference but finally, I just had to give all that info the "heave ho" and start from scratch.

Anyway, we went down the Apple road partly for ease of use, and partly because of iTunes, and the iPods we had. Then it morphed into getting actual phones, a mac, TV, more iPads and so on.

So to me, all the debate about which phone is better overlooks the question about "What else you got, besides a phone?" What I usually hear though is a bunch of strangers on the internet slamming each other about their phone choices.

I'm around 90 days with the watch. I dig this thing the most. I went with the sapphire crystal.

What do you like about it? I've considered one but if I have to have my phone for it to work why not just look at my phone? Also, I like nice watches (I remember you do as well) and can't see putting a "real" watch in the safe to wear a cheap looking watch unless the stuff it does is so life changing it's worth it. So what features do you use frequently? What makes it great?

Most folks have their phone in their pocket, it beeps or whatever annoying make the beast with two backsing tone they have. Most times you pull it out look at it and put it away, unless it's urgent. With the watch it pulses on my wrist, I glance at it, and ignore or answer. I use the make the beast with two backs out of Siri, and more so with the watch. Text Dave, call Steve etc., etc. I don't use the phone now unless I have to type a long text. There are several pre-set responses you can use if you don't want to use Siri. I use the calendar a lot, the weather and google maps. While driving I can answer the phone with my hands on the steering wheel if I have to take a call.

I can see myself using this on a bike when trying t follow directions. No need to mount the phone on the bike, just a quick glance and it vibrates when you need to turn.

I don't think the haptic strength is enough to feel on a Moto. I'll have to check it out.
