He didn’t take his iPhone inside with him, he left it outside with his fiancée. 

Since cellular Watches aren’t available in Turkey, he must have been connected to WiFi to get the data out, unless they recovered the watch (which would contradict the “his is missing” story)

Khashoggi was a resident of the US, hence entirely possible he had purchased his iPhone and Apple Watch in the US.

Office 365 just keeps getting better and better.  6 users and unlimited device installs...nice!

Affinity seems to be killing it with their Adobe-replacement software.  They now have the trifecta of apps...all they need is a really good PDF application, and we could say goodbye to the "rip-off machine" called Adobe!  The only problem is Adobe file formats are so entrenched in the "Pro industry" that the Affinity software would need to be compatible with the same file formats, and I'm not sure, but I don't think they are.  Baby steps, I guess...

Reliability is key if we are to trust the readings.  So far, the AW heart rate monitor hasn't proven to be reliable enough for me and that should be relatively simple.  

Is there any possibility this will be in the AW4, or is it too early?

You’re wrong about that. I don’t know what your comparison is from. Mine is extremely accurate. When I was in the hospital, after getting a warning about high heart rate from my watch, which was correct, I found that mine matched the hospital’s equipment that I was connected to by plus or minus one point. This was for 4 days at first, then when I went back, for another week and a half.

while I can’t say what you’re doing, I’ve found that people who do complain to me about it are wearing their watches too loosely. Another thing which plagues certified medical equipment, as told to me by a doctor, is that occasionally, the measurement coincides with the rise, or fall, of the heartbeat, resulting in a momentary high, or low count, or apparent dropout of a reading.

I said RELIABLE, not ACCURATE.  I've noticed mine does not reliably give me an accurate reading every time.  Most of the time, it does.  But I monitor my HR on my watch during my daily activity (workout).  MOST OF THE TIME, it shows me readings that I would predict at that point in my activity based on historical readings.  Other times, it shows my HR at rest levels during higher cardio activity.  NOT ALWAYS, but sometimes.  Sometimes, it shows my heart rate at a too high of a rate during activity (I take the same route every morning), and I watch it and can literally see the rate tank over a period of 15 seconds down to what is normal for that time in my workout.  That's what I mean by reliable.  Other times, the HR is blanked out completely for period of 30 seconds or so.  

i keep my watch sensor surface clean and relatively tight (but not too tight) on my wrist.  

$20/yr gets me the full Office 2016 Suite of apps plus 1TB of storage.  I can't get too excited about Google's or Apple's prices.

Spending $150 on a charging mat is absolutely laughable. Since when did it become so hard to plug a wire into your phone to charge it? 

Laughable for you maybe. What makes your opinion the last word on the subject? Apple will sell tons of them and I will be one of the first in line for my iPhone 8 and Watch. A few premium luxury automobiles are advertising wireless charging shelves in their vehicles. Get in the car and drop your iPhone on the charging shelf and off you go. 

Yeah, off you go without CarPlay because you need to be plugged in for CarPlay!!!!  Laughable!!!
