Apple Questions
I am an all Apple user. You may wish to contact Apple Support to answer your questions. They will certainly know about any compatibility questions. Not sure if they will be able to discuss cost. As far as what model to get, my belief is get the most up to date model you can afford so you have longevity of the product and support. Good luck.

Dear TOTVers,
I regret responding as I did to Dana1963. I did it because I do not respond well when I think I have been treated in a condescending manner. It was not just about me though. I was speaking up against what I see so much of here on TOTV. I should have ignored the comment but I took it on as a “cause” to call attention to the fact that TOTV could use an overall attitude adjustment. But, in fairness to Dana1963, that response to me might have been just a quick, flippant remark like we all probably have written at some point or another. I have not seen Dana1963 as someone who has established a pattern of such behavior. But there are plenty of others. (I recently edited out a response of my own in a different thread. I decided it was not worth calling out what I saw between the lines there. It felt good to write it, but then I made it disappear.) I also regret being snarky about grammar. That remark of mine was obnoxious. And then there is the thing that happened here this morning when my thread — just trying to learn about Apple watches — was turned into a thread for harboring political attacks. . . To the person who made the remark bashing Dana as the “left” — you would not like me either. I was once of your party but gave it up because this is not the party I once knew and has not been for a while. What I see now is a display of behavior that has nothing to do with loving America and is showing signs of risking our national security — from both inside and outside enemies. I keep hoping that people will remember their own critical thinking skills, turn off the dysinformation, and finally have an AHA! moment. I am thinking of asking the moderator to close this thread. I am nobody’s pawn. I started the thread and it was not for those who don’t miss a beat for sneaking in their personal political agenda to pollute any discussion. Now that I have responded — not only about the general toxicity that permeates TOTV — but also having waded right into my own political views — it has definitely gone political. Before I leave, I want to say to Dana that I should have ignored what you posted, and that I wish I had cut you some slack. And I am sorry I was obnoxious about your/you’re. My guess is you know better but you trusted spellcheck. I was an English teacher for 35 years and when computers came along, I tried to pound into my students’ heads — “Spellcheck? Use it but DO NOT trust it!” We would laugh about it because I would do the old “Repeat after me” routine. (I wonder if any of them can still hear me making them do that.) Well, this is getting really long and beginning to look like a manifesto so I need to wrap it up by saying thank you to all who tried to help me. I will be getting a new phone and an Apple watch. Sincerely and hopefully, Boomer (exit stage left) Last edited by Boomer; 11-11-2020 at 03:23 PM. Reason: Typos |

Good questions but I don't have the answers. Here's a site we regularly use to help decide on purchasing $$$ items. Wirecutter: New Product Reviews, Deals, and Buying Advice There's usually a lot to read at this site but worthwhile. I have frequently thought about purchasing a specific item, then read their reviews & realize there are aspects of the purchase I hadn't considered but wirecutter had considered. Hope your research is done in time for an Xmas gift.

I love my Apple watch.
You just have to make sure you hibernate for the night the features that tell you to breathe and especially to stand up. Do not want that waking you up at 3 a.m. ☺️
