If I buy a discounted S2, will I hate myself for not getting apple care? I figure this thing at 280 is disposable w/in 3 years anyway, and I feel like my Amex card's free 2x manufacturer warranty would handle anomalies.

For $49 you get peace of mind, especially around the one year mark where your built in warranty expires.

Also the accident coverage is great.

 For some reason today, out of the blue, all my iMessages from my watch (S3 LTE) are showing as coming from one of my associated email accounts and not the telephone number they always come from before.

Did the normal iMessage troubleshooting, turning iMesssage off and on again, the "start conversations from:" is properly set in my Messages > Send & Receive settings.

That seems odd. Maybe it's my corporate discount that gets free activation on the watch. That sucks.


On another tangent, I'm having an issue with starting a working on the Strong app in my phone, but the watch not recognizing it was started, and starts a fresh new workout on the watch. Vice versa as well. If I start a workout on the watch, the phone app won't see it as started as well.

This led to me getting workout data on my phone, but it has no heart beat data, despite the data being on the watch. It's not syncing between the 2 for some reason.

It had been working last week, but ATT had me re-pair my watch since I was having cellular activation issues. Could it be related to that? I keep getting messages on the watch saying my routines are updated, but it can't see my session in progress from the phone, nor get a rest timer screen on the watch.

e: I did do the "reset apple watch" thing in the Strong settings.

In my case as well, it was the corporate FAN discount that has waived activation fees.

Pros: universal healthcare and NHS, contactless payments, good food

Cons: the failure of neoliberalism leading to the reemergence of fascism, everything shuts down in August

Mmm the NHS and good food do not exist in the same country
