Some confusion is understandable when you see posts that claim things like:

Perhaps I should say that APPLE WATCH is NOT a watch but a WRIST COMPUTER with hundreds of apps for it (soon to be thousands) and “ONE” do those apps happens to be a watch-face!

And a check of the app store shows less than 50 apps actually available

I’ve found Swordmaker’s replies to be most helpful and educational.

Apple Watch Apps: What to Expect
http://recode.net/2015/04/08/apple-watch-apps-what-to-expect/

What makes a smartwatch smart?

There’s all that tiny technology inside that lets you receive notifications on your new Apple Watch. You can even talk into your wrist like Dick Tracy. But it’s the software — the apps — that play a huge part in making these wearables intelligent.

Knowing this, Apple made its WatchKit software development kit available to other companies in November, so they could start designing apps in time for Apple Watch’s April 24th launch. On that day, we’ll see the first crop of apps, and though Apple wouldn’t give a specific figure, the company has said it will be in the thousands.

I’m sure there’s a nitch market along with the “look at me I am better than you but cannot afford a Prius” market. Otoh, I have more Apple products in my home than other types, and I simply cannot think of a reason to go to a tiny, microscopic font interface.

That being said, I am sure it is ideally suited for many uses where that need exists. This is the true Beta test so we’ll see within the next year I suppose. By then they will have the “new Iwatch”. : )

Not a knock on Apple by any means, but for me, I need to see how others are using it before I am compelled to feel that this could be useful for me.

Apple didn’t use the “i” on this one ... they just called it “APPLE WATCH” ... :-) ..

You were pinged to Troll me.

It’s questionable if you are even bright enough to know that fact.

I hope you can guess how much the opinion of someone with a link to commercial products on his/her about me page means to me, Troll.

What makes me a Hater?

I am neither a Fanboy or a Hater.

I have two Apple products that I am generally happy with, Troll.

So, what part of the left arm will succumb to iWatch fatigue?

Tap on your watch for 10 minutes straight, what do you feel?

Flamemaker, what number Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals is your ignorant Ping Troll using to troll someone while blaming them for it?
