Macworld Podcast mailbag 

In this week’s mailbag, we have several comments about the Apple Watch.

The normal apple watch is for the daily user. The ultra is for the weekend user or multiple day. But apple needs to get all watches to multiple days and the ultra to week plus. Watch is nice but just slightly behind the true outdoor watch.

Battery can be a huge deal if they increased how long it lasts while GPS tracking, some people have to carry battery packs to charge their apple watch mid-hike.
