00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.560
foreign

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.620
this Red digital Crown who is it for it

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:16.740
denotes cellular capability on the Apple watch a way to decouple from your phone

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:19.920
if you're more action oriented so like a

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:22.080
jogger or rock climber or paddle boarder

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.580
remember that but those are such athletic scenarios which few of us

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:30.240
actually do personally I think I can stick with the Wi-Fi only model because

00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:34.260
obviously I have my phone with me everywhere anyway

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:39.660
but perhaps I'm missing something and to find out I set myself a challenge live

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:42.480
with only this old cellular Series 6

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

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.180
alone

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:58.440
the rules of this of this challenge are simple no laptop no iPad and no iPhone

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:02.940
for an entire week I can however use a desktop computer so

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

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.060
need to get used to is

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:18.240
hello oh oh hi it's my realtor

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:23.580
untethered communication is the big sell for the cellular Apple watch but as it's

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:28.500
now my only source of communication it's not easy or convenient taking speaker

00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:33.180
phone calls isn't great in a serious open Office like ours and if you want

00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:37.150
you have to switch to your airpods after you make the call

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.319
okay yeah bye

00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:49.560
the most convenient way to reply to messages is with dictation but again

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:51.780
that'll disturb people around you

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:56.640
so I'm writing with my finger which takes longer the on-screen keyboard

00:01:53.939 --> 00:02:00.180
found on newer Apple watches is better and faster but you're not going to be

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:06.240
conducting any long-winded text message threads on here and if you have friends

00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:08.099
on Android you can text them Via SMS but

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.540
for that to be enabled at all your iPhone will need to remain powered on no

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:17.000
matter where it is phoneky's wallet no phone Keys wallet

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:22.560
okay unfortunately it appears I can't connect

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:25.080
my Apple watch to my Bluetooth which is

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

00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:33.130
am I gonna do now how am I gonna listen to my podcasts

00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:39.819
foreign

00:02:39.980 --> 00:02:45.780
house you're interested in it's big and

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

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

00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:58.580
gonna measure oh I should take a photo first um

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:07.980
do you need a Handler the thing that

00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:11.819
makes the iPhone so useful and amazing is that it can do everything but because

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:17.040
of this challenge doing something like viewing this apartment requires a much

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:21.959
more involved setup I have to bring my massive old DSLR and notepad and tape

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

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:29.760
could take an ultra wide photo of the space write my thoughts on the note

00:03:28.019 --> 00:03:35.459
taking app and even measure things out with the measure app so how much is this

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:38.400
place oh it's just a little over 800

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

00:03:41.459 --> 00:03:46.920
you know that only one out of 100 people achieved the recommended amount of

00:03:45.540 --> 00:03:52.080
essential vitamins through their diet ritual helps fill the gaps providing 10

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:55.739
essential nutrients from their naturally extracted clean and traceable

00:03:53.700 --> 00:04:00.180
ingredients all contained in this funky delayed release Capsule that's gentle on

00:03:58.140 --> 00:04:04.560
an empty stomach you can take these first thing in the morning before you

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.720
sleep or right now get ritual delivered

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.620
using the code Mac address20 at ritual.com Mac address20

00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:21.060
crippling boredom it's what you get when

00:04:18.780 --> 00:04:25.500
you sever yourself from your phone what am I supposed to do on the toilet what

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

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:32.940
and scroll but with this Apple watch I

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:37.500
can't you know videos no articles no tweets nothing just fiddling with the

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:42.360
digital crown and swiping through different faces

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:46.920
thank you hello

00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:48.600
um are you busy right now no actually

00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.340
yeah I'll be right over

00:04:53.340 --> 00:05:02.460
perfect hey Donna hey jono I started a really big project I'm

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

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

00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:13.320
spend with others does change you are

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:18.300
simply more present when hanging out with family or friends the impulse to

00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:22.979
look things up during conversations is quelled completely because it's not

00:05:19.919 --> 00:05:24.600
possible what I'm getting at is I really

00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:29.990
didn't feel like I was missing anything important what I was missing were the

00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:33.259
habits and those are good things to miss

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.979
so the week is over and what has it been like

00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:43.680
great actually what really surprised me

00:05:40.979 --> 00:05:47.520
is what a great digital detox this is you hear people moaning oh I gotta get

00:05:45.780 --> 00:05:51.960
off my phone I gotta stop using Facebook but they're empty commitments because

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:55.320
the cost of completely severing communication makes the prospect

00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:59.940
untenable but with the Apple watch you're not actually severing

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:04.560
communication it's so liberating let me give you an idea of how different

00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:08.580
life was with only the Apple watch my average sleep increased by a full half

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

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

00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:22.319
the cost firstly cellular capability increases the price of the series 8

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.720
watch by 100 but it's only fifty dollars

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:28.560
more on an SE and that's before you register for cell Services which is

00:06:26.580 --> 00:06:32.819
pretty easy to sign up you'll need an existing plan on a non-discount service

00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:37.500
provider the monthly cost for this service is ten dollars plus a one-time

00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:43.220
activation fee of forty five dollars should you byow Apple watch

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:50.160
but is it worth it I don't think so not for a digital detox

00:06:48.539 --> 00:06:56.039
because it's going to require some accountability no perhaps 120 a year is

00:06:53.400 --> 00:07:00.660
accountability enough to do it regularly but for me it wouldn't be

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

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

00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:13.160
could set up screen time in iOS or delete your Facebook account which I

00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:18.600
recommend what a beautiful sunset

00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:21.840
I don't have a camera if you already have a cellular Apple

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

00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:29.520
question and if you're looking at the product page trying to decide between a

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:33.599
cellular or Wi-Fi model well you'll know if you need one otherwise unless you

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

00:07:35.460 --> 00:07:41.940
set up with family setup I think you're probably best sticking with a Wi-Fi

00:07:39.419 --> 00:07:48.599
model as for me I don't have any children except for my baby mini iPhone

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:50.520
darling thanks for detoxing this Mac

00:07:48.599 --> 00:07:54.060
address if you think the Apple watch should be its own device on its own

00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:58.740
cellular plan give this video a like now I'm curious if that's something you

00:07:56.039 --> 00:08:03.080
would go for ditch the iPhone only cellular Apple watch comment below
