I guess you are unaware of the capability of an Apple Watch with LTE... it can place and receive calls, record, text, tweet, etc. - all without an iPhone or iPad or even wifi. It can do almost anything an iPhone can, just on a tiny screen.

Actually they kinda are like Dick Tracy watches... You can send and receive email and text messages, and make and receive phone calls. Most require being in proximity with and connected to the iPhone via bluetooth, or else connected to wifi in order to do these things

Nope - LTE version can place and receive calls, record, text, email, social media (limited), etc. all without an iPhone or iPad or wifi.

After I read that on another post, I did some looking. Damn. I missed that. All I need is another $10 on my cellular bill.

Well - when a watch is exponentially more intelligent than its wearer...

They’ve all had a virtual entry method - that recognizes handwriting in that tiny screen (one letter at a time).

Or maybe Democrats are too dumb for Apple Watches, so wear one of the other makers’ watches...
