I really am. Cellular Apple Watches do that, providing you have a iPhone to
link them to. The iPhone can be in Wisconsin while Im in Nevada. Damndest
thing. Check it out if you dont believe me. I do feel stupid talking to my
watch if anyone is looking at me, but theyre all Luddites. I cant talk
to the iPhone from the watch since they share the same number. We have a
landline for that. I talked to my wife from a duck swamp seventy miles away
last year using the watch. I described the duck situation. She had the iPhone
with her, but the watch call that I made came in on the landline. Of course,
the watch has to be within cellular coverage. Its all true. Apple watches
are amazing little gizmos, providing you have a reasonably current iPhone.
