Sketchnotes: One Year with an Apple Watch
It’s been a year since I’ve started wearing an Apple Watch. Instead of a wordy review, I’ve captured my impressions as sketchnotes.
The latest sketchnote happened when I sat down with my iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and Paper by 53 to capture what I love about the Apple Watch.

My impressions after one year
It’s a very handy tool that makes friction spots in my life go a little more smoothly. Overall, I quite like it, despite the flaws.
Native Apple apps and functions work best (notifications, maps, step tracking, timers, weather, Siri, phone calls, and workout tracking).
3rd party apps are really slow, though some like Sleep++ or the Starbucks app aren’t as hampered by the Watch’s slowness—probably by design.
