I charged up the AW for the first time yesterday morning. 30 hours later, I checked it's battery level and it's at 48%. That's not bad at all.
Keep in mind that I have the GPS model (probably uses less power than the cell/GPS model). I also have AOD (Always On Display) enabled, with Wake on Wrist Raise and Wake on Crown Rotation.
One problem I've noticed is that the AW won't wake upon raising my wrist. I'm not sure what's up with that. I'll need to look into that.
I like how I can manipulate music that's playing on my iPhone, too.
I've settled on a watch face. I've chosen Modular and edited it to show white lettering on black background:
This watch has soooo many configuration options, some that I'll probably never use.
One thing I didn't count on was choosing an AW with the wrong size wrist band. I didn't even see that option when purchasing, and ended up getting the small band. It fits but I've to use the last or 2nd to last hole in the band when wearing the watch.
As well, before purchasing, I had a bad time choosing a watch color. At first I selected Midnight Blue but then changed my mind, as I remember folks complaining about their Macbooks losing paint easily (scratches and wear marks). I chose silver and I'm OK with that. It looks similar to my Sense in that regard.
Why didn't I get the stainless steel version? If I did that, I may as well have purchased the Ultra...they aren't far off in price. I already know I'm going to get bent over in trade value, so I definitely didn't want to spend $700 on ANY watch. Stainless steel looks good, but I don't want SS so bad that I've to pay $700+ for it.
Will I get a screen protector? Probably not. I'm more than likely going to get AppleCare+ and just use the watch without worry.
