[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1800844, member: 204485"] As you can see this size is pretty much perfect for my wrist. The strap that comes as standard is the most comfortable I've ever had on a watch and as you can see I'm in the third hole so thats ideal. It also comes with another strap for a larger wrist. I did not check the fit of the 42mm model but I assume it may be bigger. The sort of post and flap system took me about two days to get used to but it's easy now and very quick to remove and attach. I tried using the watch in conjunction with Apple Maps yesterday. I looked up the location on the iPhone, chose public transport, started the journey then put my phone back in my bag. The watch then continues to give step by step visual and verbal prompts. The visual prompts are in the form of easy to read arrows (not a tiny map) so i just need to glace at it to see i need to turn left or right in however many meters. Very easy. Last night i went to a meeting and used the Do Not Disturb function which has been upgraded in iOS 12 on the iPhone with 3D (deep press) adding new options such as 1 Hour, Until this Evening, Until I Leave this Location, Until The End Of This Event or from a custom timetable. I love this new option. I don't know how many times I've forgotten to turn DND off after an event or a nap. So I chose Until I Leave this Location as it was an unscheduled meeting and it worked like a charm. Turning DND on with the phone also turns it on for the watch and vice versa but the time options are not yet available on the watch. Honestly I've hardly scratched the surface of what this device can do. For example I have not loaded Google Maps so I dont know how it would display or function on the watch. For now, except for a simple note taking app I'm sticking with the native apps. I'm still tinkering with notifications which are reflected from the iPhone even if the app is not loaded onto the watch (optional). You can select which ones you want however on the Watch app on the phone. i expect it will take some time to get it just how I want it but thats all part of the fun for me. Suffice to say initial setup is quick and easy. One thing which did have me a little worried was that when I unboxed the device the instructions said switch it on but it wouldn't.
