Yeah, when I remember that it is there. I’ve used an AW since 2018 and this feature is only a couple months old. Gonna have to train myself. But it is rather nice when I do remember it, makes replying to messages much easier.

Yes, Apple Watch always. I change my band depending on where I’m going. I have a Sport Band for the gym, a Milanese band that I typically wear and a Pride band that I wear when I remember to change into it, but it’s typically for casual things where I’d be more active than normal and don’t want to fuss with my Milanese band (which can require constant adjustment).

I think I have mine set to auto but I can’t remember. It doesn’t matter too much. I used to have problems with my data going out if I left the range of a tower. I would need to cycle airplane mode to get data back. Of course that was the early days of 5G iPhones in 2020.

I only have 3 different bands, 2 of which came with watches and 1 which was a $30 knockoff. I wouldn’t be too fussed

I usually check daily around 1pm my time but especially on Tuesdays. But given that my News widgets are for “Apple” and “Technology” and that I follow every Apple product sub for a product I own, I’m usually made away fairly fast

I’m using less apps than ever. I’m constantly deleting apps that I haven’t touched in eons

My MacBook is from mid-2012 and still performs basic tasks like a champ. From what you plan on using it for, an M1 Air would be more than enough. An iPad would also suffice

I wipe my down with an alcohol wipe after I wear it, which is only to the gym. I soak my Milanese band in alcohol a couple times a week
