1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
foreign

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,620
this Red digital Crown who is it for it

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:16,740
denotes cellular capability on the Apple watch a way to decouple from your phone

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:19,920
if you're more action oriented so like a

5
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:22,080
jogger or rock climber or paddle boarder

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,580
remember that but those are such athletic scenarios which few of us

7
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:30,240
actually do personally I think I can stick with the Wi-Fi only model because

8
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:34,260
obviously I have my phone with me everywhere anyway

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:39,660
but perhaps I'm missing something and to find out I set myself a challenge live

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:42,480
with only this old cellular Series 6

11
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:47,180
Apple watch for a week to find out if my life can even function with it and it

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,180
alone

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:58,440
the rules of this of this challenge are simple no laptop no iPad and no iPhone

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,940
for an entire week I can however use a desktop computer so

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:08,060
that I'm not alienated from work duties at the office the first thing I think I

16
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:08,060
need to get used to is

17
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:18,240
hello oh oh hi it's my realtor

18
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:23,580
untethered communication is the big sell for the cellular Apple watch but as it's

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,500
now my only source of communication it's not easy or convenient taking speaker

20
00:01:26,340 --> 00:01:33,180
phone calls isn't great in a serious open Office like ours and if you want

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:37,150
you have to switch to your airpods after you make the call

22
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,319
okay yeah bye

23
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:49,560
the most convenient way to reply to messages is with dictation but again

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,780
that'll disturb people around you

25
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:56,640
so I'm writing with my finger which takes longer the on-screen keyboard

26
00:01:53,939 --> 00:02:00,180
found on newer Apple watches is better and faster but you're not going to be

27
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:06,240
conducting any long-winded text message threads on here and if you have friends

28
00:02:02,939 --> 00:02:08,099
on Android you can text them Via SMS but

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,540
for that to be enabled at all your iPhone will need to remain powered on no

30
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:17,000
matter where it is phoneky's wallet no phone Keys wallet

31
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:22,560
okay unfortunately it appears I can't connect

32
00:02:19,379 --> 00:02:25,080
my Apple watch to my Bluetooth which is

33
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:31,200
a little sad that means I'm gonna have to drive in silence or use old CDs what

34
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:33,130
am I gonna do now how am I gonna listen to my podcasts

35
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:39,819
foreign

36
00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:45,780
house you're interested in it's big and

37
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:50,580
open it's got a nice patio right off your dining area wow yeah it is bigger

38
00:02:49,019 --> 00:02:54,180
than I was expecting but I gotta make sure it fits my couch so we're just

39
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,580
gonna measure oh I should take a photo first um

40
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:07,980
do you need a Handler the thing that

41
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:11,819
makes the iPhone so useful and amazing is that it can do everything but because

42
00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:17,040
of this challenge doing something like viewing this apartment requires a much

43
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:21,959
more involved setup I have to bring my massive old DSLR and notepad and tape

44
00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:26,700
measure but I've had the iPhone I could literally do that all on one device I

45
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:29,760
could take an ultra wide photo of the space write my thoughts on the note

46
00:03:28,019 --> 00:03:35,459
taking app and even measure things out with the measure app so how much is this

47
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:38,400
place oh it's just a little over 800

48
00:03:35,459 --> 00:03:43,500
oh my God this housing market what isn't crazy is this video's sponsor ritual did

49
00:03:41,459 --> 00:03:46,920
you know that only one out of 100 people achieved the recommended amount of

50
00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:52,080
essential vitamins through their diet ritual helps fill the gaps providing 10

51
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,739
essential nutrients from their naturally extracted clean and traceable

52
00:03:53,700 --> 00:04:00,180
ingredients all contained in this funky delayed release Capsule that's gentle on

53
00:03:58,140 --> 00:04:04,560

sleep or right now get ritual delivered

55

using the code Mac address20 at ritual.com Mac address20

57
00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:21,060
crippling boredom it's what you get when

58
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:25,500
you sever yourself from your phone what am I supposed to do on the toilet what

59
00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:30,360
am I supposed to do right now my habit for years has been to pull out my phone

60
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:32,940
and scroll but with this Apple watch I

61
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:37,500
can't you know videos no articles no tweets nothing just fiddling with the

62
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:42,360
digital crown and swiping through different faces

63
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:46,920
thank you hello

64
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:48,600
um are you busy right now no actually

65
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,340
yeah I'll be right over

66
00:04:53,340 --> 00:05:02,460
perfect hey Donna hey jono I started a really big project I'm

67
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:06,419
working on an album from 1999. what it was on my Europe trip so I'm hoping to

68
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:11,520
cut this out I need this glued in we don't have a phone around the time you

69
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:13,320
spend with others does change you are

70
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,300
simply more present when hanging out with family or friends the impulse to

71
00:05:16,259 --> 00:05:22,979
look things up during conversations is quelled completely because it's not

72
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:24,600
possible what I'm getting at is I really

73
00:05:22,979 --> 00:05:29,990
didn't feel like I was missing anything important what I was missing were the

74
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:33,259
habits and those are good things to miss

75
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:40,979
so the week is over and what has it been like

76
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:43,680
great actually what really surprised me

77
00:05:40,979 --> 00:05:47,520
is what a great digital detox this is you hear people moaning oh I gotta get

78
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:51,960
off my phone I gotta stop using Facebook but they're empty commitments because

79
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:55,320
the cost of completely severing communication makes the prospect

80
00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:59,940
untenable but with the Apple watch you're not actually severing

81
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:04,560
communication it's so liberating let me give you an idea of how different

82
00:06:01,740 --> 00:06:08,580
life was with only the Apple watch my average sleep increased by a full half

83
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:13,139
hour during the week I didn't waste hours a day on Twitter I went on two

84
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:17,340
hikes all recorded in the fitness app if you want to try this it's worth knowing

85
00:06:14,699 --> 00:06:22,319
the cost firstly cellular capability increases the price of the series 8

86
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:24,720
watch by 100 but it's only fifty dollars

87
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:28,560
more on an SE and that's before you register for cell Services which is

88
00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:32,819
pretty easy to sign up you'll need an existing plan on a non-discount service

89
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:37,500
provider the monthly cost for this service is ten dollars plus a one-time

90
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:43,220
activation fee of forty five dollars should you byow Apple watch

91
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,160
but is it worth it I don't think so not for a digital detox

92
00:06:48,539 --> 00:06:56,039
because it's going to require some accountability no perhaps 120 a year is

93
00:06:53,400 --> 00:07:00,660
accountability enough to do it regularly but for me it wouldn't be

94
00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:04,919
so yes it's certainly possible to live with only an Apple Watch it's even great

95
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,060
but if you want to do a digital detox there are cheaper ways to do it you

96
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:13,160
could set up screen time in iOS or delete your Facebook account which I

97
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:18,600
recommend what a beautiful sunset

98
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:21,840
I don't have a camera if you already have a cellular Apple

99
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,440
watch and you feel like you don't know why try this challenge it'll answer that

100
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,520
question and if you're looking at the product page trying to decide between a

101
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,599
cellular or Wi-Fi model well you'll know if you need one otherwise unless you

102
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,319
have a child with whom you want to gift the Apple watch three years from now and

103
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:41,940
set up with family setup I think you're probably best sticking with a Wi-Fi

104
00:07:39,419 --> 00:07:48,599
model as for me I don't have any children except for my baby mini iPhone

105
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:50,520
darling thanks for detoxing this Mac

106
00:07:48,599 --> 00:07:54,060
address if you think the Apple watch should be its own device on its own

107
00:07:52,259 --> 00:07:58,740
cellular plan give this video a like now I'm curious if that's something you

108
00:07:56,039 --> 00:08:03,080
would go for ditch the iPhone only cellular Apple watch comment below
