No messages, no making phone calls from it, no voice to text summaries, and NO DAMN MUSIC. I was walking down a trail and suddenly heard music. I thought it was the phone and turned it off. Then I realized it was the watch. Apparently the cuff of my jacket butt dialed the music option. Now you have to press a button for several seconds to unlock it. I never loaded music on it and didn't recognize the song so it must come with a starter set. It was the same with the little voice telling me I'd walked a mile. I thought it was someone on the trail below me until I figured out that option and killed it. I'm sort of a selective Luddite.
