- I take on the Apple Watch 24-hour challenge by ditching my iPhone for an entire day. I go through a usual day in my life from waking up, working, running errands, working out, cooking, and more. What do you think? Could you ditch your iPhone for 24-hours using just your Apple Watch?

So to stop needing your iPhone you used a Mac and an iPad. But not cheating 😂
You said it...the battery on the Apple Watch is woefully lacking for a full user imo. I really wish Apple would add solar assist to the watch.
That wouldn’t really work
I have been an Apple Watch/iPad user for years. Keep my iPhone in my pocket only to keep my watch off cellular - preserves battery life. I’ll take my iPhone out a couple of times a week to handle phone calls in crowds…
watch ultra is a massive improvement
Great vid! What band is that? Apple link? Colors match?
What is the brand of the bracelet ??
Good video. When I write on my watch, I use the microphone. Speak slowly and clearly and it works very well.
Can you use it and get notifications form far away/2-5 hours form your
IPhone 11 and Apple Watch SE with cellular data?
How much battery life left at the end of your day?
Andrew, thanks for the Apple eco info. Surprised by your share on diabetes. Hope you are doing well. I’ve been waiting for Apple to add CGM to the watch since Series 6. And waiting, and waiting…. Keep up the great work.
I went a whole weekend without a iPhone just a watch & iPad so 3 days yes easy 😎
I love this! It’s the direction I’d like to move. Loss of the great camera on my iPhone is probably going to be my biggest obstacle.
Just a day? Would be keen on seeing a 1 week version of this.
These days, most people can't live without a phone for an hour.
How much battery did you have left at the end of the day?
Been meaning to try this. There are 3rd party browser apps you can use. They aren't great but they get the job done in a pinch. There is even a UA-cam app if you feel like straining your eyes to watch a how-to video. Also, I bought a bluetooth receiver for my car so I can stream music from my watch to the car radio (still dumb the watch can't connect directly to a bluetooth car stereo even without CarPlay) through the aux input. So there are ways to get around some of the issues you ran into. Really though I just like the idea of not staring at my phone to fill every moment of free time in my day.
What are the apps called?
@@cohens1861 microbrowser (ubrowser) and WatchTube
I've always purchased the AW with cellular, but I never purchased the cellular plan because I didn't want to pay for another service. My reason for buying the cellular watch without activating cellular service, was for 'just in case.' If I ever need cellular service on my AW, but have a wi-fi only watch, I won't be able to use the service. My initial reason for wanting cellular was so that when I go running, I wouldn't have my iPhone jumping around inside my pocket which can be a bit annoying.
Super
I don't have an Apple watch but I ditch my iPhone ever weekend and on most holidays. Been doing that for years.
What was your watch battery life at the end of the day?
It’s so frustrating Apple is keeping the watch tethered to iPhone. For those of use who regularly use a Mac or an iPad, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to do our work on Mac or iPad and use a watch for the rest. A future exists where people are freed from smartphone addiction, but it seems they’re unwilling to give it to us.
Apple could even release a “dumb phone” that’s essentially the length of two Apple Watches. No health tracking and a battery double the length of the Apple Watch Ultra. The thing would do all of the essentials, calls, texts, music, podcasts, payments etc. They could even put a decent single lens camera on the thing. It would probably get like 70 hours of battery life.
I’ve been very interested for a while now on simplifying. I’ve successfully replaced my MacBook with an M2 iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. I do have an M2 Mac mini at my office but the majority of my computing happens on my iPad. It’s been a very positive change for me. My next frontier is replacing my iPhone with my AppleWatch. I am pretty sure I’ll have to upgrade from my Series 6 to the Ultra to make that possible, but I still have a few obstacles I’m not sure how to overcome. A minor obstacle is the app for my Onewheel GT requires an iPhone connection in order to run the AppleWatch app which shows me battery level, speed, and distance. That’s important to me but not a deal breaker with the GT since it gets such great range per charge. The big issue is not having a very good camera in my pocket all the time. I think the camera is one of my most used apps. I use it to capture family moments (I’m a grandpa now), details of projects at work, etc. I’m not sure what the work around for that will be yet. I would love to make my next iPhone upgrade the last iPhone I get. Thanks for the helpful video. These kinds of trials really help in thinking through the next step in simplifying my tools.
Dam you dexcom ! 😅
Funny cus instagram and twitter was on the first two Apple Watches I don’t know why it was removed
No I couldn’t give up my iPhone at all I gave up my iPad n very rarely I used my pc my watch is to small to see weather radar and alert on it but will tell me to go look at my phone btw you pair Bluetooth speakers to watch and listen to music thur Accu radio I used my OontZ Angle 3 Ultra when gardening I leave my phone inside 😊
No, I would have to have a display in front of me bigger than a watch. I watch a lot of UA-cam. I do a lot of stuff that you can’t do on a watch but then again, if you don’t got much of a life and you can live off your watch go ahead.😂😂😂😂
I am not married to either device so can and have been able to do this.
I think I could use to replace my iPhone, definitely if its only a day! Although I’d need an ultra with cellular, which I can’t afford!
Cheater!😂😂😂😂😂
Cheater. 😂
No, I have no interest in even ever owning or wearing an apple watch... All I will ever need or want is an iPhone and macbook... nothing else....no AirPods, no iMac, definitely no iPad, no AirTags, no vision pro, no apple tv.... maybe someday I'll get a battery pack for the iPhone. Simple is so much better. we only need 2 things... a portable phone, and a laptop to get some work done, or watch some content on a bigger screen. Also it's so easy to travel with just these 2 things...
Plus, why would you want to fiddle your finger on such a small screen to do all the stuff you would do on your phone yes they got a UA-cam app on there but it’s practically worthless most watch apps, unless they design specifically for the watch and not watching videos, and everything you can do just fine, but any other Watch app is worthless as a man removing his balls to claim he’s a woman😂😂😂😂
Calls, whapp,.... c´mon...
