I’ve tried it with my SO during a visit to IKEA. So when we were apart for a few minutes I was able to give an update where I am or what was interesting so look at. But in public I found it rather awkward others listening to our conversation. And now I can’t think of other use cases. So how, when, where and with whom do you use this function?

    Tried it when it first launched. Haven’t used it since. Feels extra dumb holding your Watch to your mouth like you’re Inspector Gadget. Just use your phone. I also never use Siri in public and I think people who walk around in public using their phone exclusively in speakerphone mode should be shot.

    I’ve used it a couple times, but no. I usually forget it exists unless we have a specific reason to be using it. Like being in a crowd (I’m quite short and lose people very easily, and it’s quicker than texting).

    It might be ok to use in my car but since I have the phone paired to the car, it doesn’t register anything from the watch. So I’d have to turn that off first and meh.

    We use it to communicate when we don’t feel like texting. Or while the other is driving.

    Very rarely do we use it in the store… it’s just awkward.
