I want to go back to Android so bad but I can't. I got stuck in the Apple ecosystem.
Apple got me like this




Yeah I'm trapped and at this point I may just stay until something game changing comes (MBP, IPAD, IPHone, TV) android or apple would need to do something game changing but I doubt it happens in the next few years.

I'm surprised this Apple Watch lasted the whole day. It's time for bed and I still have 20% left. I worked out at the gym an hour and that murdered the battery. Meanwhile the Fitbit Charge HR is totally unaffected.

I'm still not sure I'll keep this Apple Watch.

Ok I might have a question that is dumb but I need to know before I jailbreak 8.4.

I've been on iOS 8.1.2 jail broken for a long time.....when I updated to 8.4 (no jailbreak) ...I noticed that my battery life is significantly better. Is this just because it's a new iOS version or was my jailbreak draining my battery more. At this point I'm enjoying the improved battery life I'm kind of scared the jailbreak will diminish that.

I don't even use a whole lot of crazy jailbreak features that I think would drain the battery crazy so I'm just not sure.

I take my phone off the charger at 3 am and by the time I'm off my lunch break at work (11:45am) my phone used to be at like 20-30% on 8.1.2 jail broken....now on regular 8.4 non jailbreak it's more like 50-60%. I listen to a lot of Apple music and ESPN pod casts and browse the book when I'm at work.
Stop downloading a bunch of useless mods. Most of them run in the background and drain your battery

I had to do it all manually.

I'm gonna be switching back over to Spotify though. I prefer it over Apple Music.

My only thing with spotify is some shyt don't be up until the next day. And seeing as I don't know how to download I can't be fuking round wit that.

Almost had a heart attack when DS2 wasn't showing on spotify. Apple music be skipping/loading too slow tho

I had two fitbits die on me within 2 months.. whike my apple watch only last about a day atleast I know its reliable. Also controlling my music from my watch is great in the gym because now I can put my phone down while I work out.

I rock the Apple Watch on my left arm and the Fitbit Charge HR on my right. I use the Fitbit for sleep tracking but said screw it and wear it all day. I have the Apple Watch linked to MyFitnessPal and use it for activity tracking. I've found that I typically end a day with 30-50% battery left on non-workout days and 20% on workout days.

I like the Apple Watch but I'll probably end up selling it and just going back to the Fitbit exclusively. The level of convenience it offers wasn't worth what I paid for it. I basically paid about $400 so I can leave my phone in my pocket when it really isn't a hassle to just use the phone.

:ohhh::obama: true:manny:.. my complaint is I work in a no cell phone environment and that includes smart watches too. So I really would only be wearing it to go to the gym and on weekends.. That is too expensive to not be able to wear everyday, but I feel like the fitbit is cheap, for it to be 200
