Any time I read about smart watches they never mention what the damn thing does (apart from telling the time). It seems to be purely a case of having technology on your watch because we can, without it doing anything useful.
It basically acts as a remote control for your iphone. Instead of pulling out your phone every time you receive a notification, you can now read them on your wrist. There's also an watch to watch scribble feature where you can draw on your watch and it will send the drawing to the other person. It also has some basic pulse rate monitoring and movement tracking so you can see how active you are. It was mentioned that it requires an iPhone, and the health monitoring and tracking appeared to be done from the iphone itself. The part I was most interested in was glossed over at the very end of the presentation. They mentioned that the apple watch works with the iPhone 5 and up. The iPhone 6 and 6+ have NFC payment options (I think they call their service apple pay) available. They use a special chip to create the payments. Tim said that the apple watch had everything in it to use apple pay. I wanted to know if users of an iPhone 5 or 5s will be able to use apple pay with an apple watch.

I'll probably feel better after a movement.

Offhand it looks rather cool. I don't actually need one, of course, but it would make an interesting addition to my collection!

I suppose that would be handy if some one superglued your pockets closed and you suddenly needed to answer your phone quickly

Viewed the Apple Pay site after I got home and it says it is compatible with an iPhone 5 AND an Apple Watch (In store only) so that answers that question. Now to figure out if $349 is worth NFC payments and the health tracking apps.

Part way into their presentation and I'm not feeling it. I hope this "wearable" fad ends soon, its kind of painful to watch.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington
What kills me is that they are making a bling version with a solid gold case. Seriously? The thing will be obsolete within a year, leaving you with a gold-cased piece of junk! Gold cases are for real watches that last for generations, not disposable tech trash.

Time will tell... Oops! Maybe I should be in the pun thread.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
