The first time I seriously tried to use the Apple Watch was to board a plane on a recent cross-country trip. The experience showed the promise of wearable devices, but it also revealed there are challenges to solve before smartwatches are worth buying for anyone other than tech enthusiasts eager to try the latest gadget.
I previously read that I’d be able to call up my boarding pass on the Apple Watch, so I opened the United Airlines app by tapping its logo in the app menu. But the process was a bit more complicated than I thought.
The app instructed me to “please add reservations or flight statuses on your iPhone,” which required me to register it on my iPhone's Passbook app and then load Passbook on the Watch to load the ticket. This isn’t particularly difficult once you figure out how to do it but also not as easy as simply calling up the United app.

Now a paid hack?
Only by Mashable, not by Apple.
I tried out the apple watch and I loved it, but it was too big for my wrist. Of course, it has to be large enough for a little screen. I was thinking that what somebody needs to do is develop an interactive holographic image that could be used as a screen.
The Apple Watch is great. You’ll be able to dump your phone or at least leave it on your pocket most of the time until you need a bigger screen.
Why would I care what some liberal thinks about some technology product he knows nothing about?
Is this the last step before advertising depends?
Well, it’s iTime he did this. /rimshot
No, funeral plans. . .
I see Tom Fod [designer] is selling iWatches on a “chain” ... like a old watch fob. I’d really be interested in that.
That is interesting!
