My Apple Watch hates it when I'm splitting firewood. I have to take it off.

I would think it was trained on the same data. Seems odd one device would trigger and not the other under similar stimulation.

from TFA

Off topic but something I find quite neat is that your watch syncs wifi networks with your phone.

I was at a friends house the other day and had forgotten my phone, but was still getting texts/notifications come through on the watch because I had previously connected to the wifi network on my phone (which was sitting in my house).

Clever.

> watch syncs wifi networks with your phone

All Apple devices which use the same iCloud account sync wifi network configurations. This has been a feature I think for around 10 years or more.

(not to downplay the novelty of just now discovering it, totally appreciate that!)

GP might have the cellular Apple Watch.
