The MacJury convened to discuss their experiences with the Apple Watch Series 3, and how it is holding up against their expectations. The ability to use the Apple Watch as a dedicated phone and the costs associated with them, Siri having a voice, and the superior battery life are among the benefits of the newest model of the most popular watch in the world. Discussing how they use their Apple Watches, some of their favorite Watch apps, and what they want next are the panel of Steve Sande, Mike Schmitz, and host Chuck Joiner.

This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of PDFpen and PDFpenPro, PDFpen for iPad, PDFpen for iPhone, PDFpen Scan+, as well as TextExpander for Mac and TextExpander for iPhone and iPad, as well as the new TextExpander for Windows. Great software to help you get more done.

Guests:

Steve Sande also writes way too much. He's the head guy at Apple World Today, writes for Rocket Yard, and recently logged over one million words written in just over three years. He's written a number of books for Take Control Books and Apress, is married to a rocket scientist, and spends his days being bossed by a cat. You can watch what he says on Twitter.

Mike Schmitz is an Apple fanboy, coffee snob, and productivity junkie who creates content for Asian Efficiency where he teaches people how to be more productive. He is also a contributing writer for The Sweet Setup, a site dedicated to reviewing and recommending the very best Mac and iOS apps. He lives in NE Wisconsin with his wife and 4 crazy boys and is the author of Thou Shalt Hustle. He also helps produce and occasionally hosts The Productivity Show podcast and (probably) spends too much time on Twitter.
