    A -lot- of people use it for trail running and hiking, and Apple has been building out a lot of features for those users. Back tracking, trail maps, etc.

    Messaging in dead zones would be a game changer for those users. Even in Apple’s home turf, the Bay Area, trail dead zones are very veeery common.

    This feature would sell a lot of watches among the REI crowd.

      Not much of a game changer since the iPhone already does this. More of a convenience so they don’t have to carry their phone.
