Apple Watch Series 4

Looks a bit chunky for my liking, going by the user pics on Amazon.com.  If it's just for gym protection why not just cover the watch with a sweatband?

its for cycling...dont do tyhe gym....and its certainly less clunky than many others out there...at least the all in one jobs

It reminds me a little bit of my old Oakley watch. The painted part of that got scratched in a motorcycle accident - was less of a concern than the state of my Honda at the time though!!

Ok strap has arrived...

comes very simply packaged in a thin cardboard box...

its a one-piece strap and is pretty light so certainly doesn't add any weight

the watch is super simple to get into the strap as the back of the case hasn't got a tight entrance (oooh-er) - on top of that its not by any means loose, but when your wearing the strap I guess the fact the back of the watch being against the skin of your wrist helps to create a barrier to it coming out as well

feels comfortable on and actually looks pretty cool....will give it a proper test on a 30-mile bike ride tomorrow but definitely prefer the look of it compared to the SUPCASE style ones...

well, its been 28 days since I received my Apple Watch 4 Stainless Steel model direct from Apple and therefore 28 days since I first contacted Vodafone about setting up my phone with a cellular account...

And now, after 28 days Vodafone have finally sorted out my Apple Watch which is now working as it should be.

So to say it had been a shower of you know what, is an understatement and even the final call this evening was a shambles with the first guy I spoke to saying, "I see from the notes you might be having some sort of issue with your iWatch".

Now I will be starting the free 6 months data plan on my watch and Vodafone have told me they will get back in touch with me via email to confirm compensation I am due to receive for all of the trouble.....another 6 months free should do it.....but I’ve since been informed I could get much more.

Watch is working as it should be...and with the local home Vodafone signal being so good its brillaint at home....

Finally my purchase has been made worthwhile....I hope anyone else in a similar suiuation gets their issue resovled sometime soon

Guess I was lucky my watch took 4 weeks to get here due to stock issues, walked into Vodafone today and activated my account within 30 mins so glad I missed all the teething troubles.  Loving the watch, just wished all the complications worked on the new faces.. shocker that iMessage doesn’t even work but hey ho.

Looking forward to my run later listening to music and tracking everything all on one device.

O h I don't think all the problems are sorted yet...hundreds of people still complaining all over the Vodafone Forums

Glad yours is working though

Aluminium or SS? Thoughts?

JL.com now in stock of some models. (I’ve just picked up a SS, so my purchase from Very will be up in the classifieds tomorrow at a (slightly) discounted price for anyone interested.

For anyone thinking of doing the update.  I’d hold off for a day or so.
