That begs the question, could a modern day Captain Koons ... hide it in a “ place” for Five long years to pass it along to his best friends son?

Jokes aside, I'd be quite pleased to replace the remote key fob for my Leaf with an 🍎Watch app. Just one less thing to carry around.

My fob has already replaced the key to my car. And it’s a lot smaller than a smart phone.

13. Non-prescription iGlasses.

I remember seeing a mockup of this in an old “73 Magazine” (Wayne Green published it for amateur radio operators) from 1977. Wayne Green predicted the watch would be used for phone calls and more.

I wanted the flying bucket he cruised around in. Still do.

Absolutely zero interest here. I have a wristwatch..$25 and one I can swim with..$40-ish. I want my home as dumb as a stone; no need to have a device that will interrupt me twice as much as a cellphone. Who could read maps on that thing?.

I guess my wife’s car “key” doesn’t tell time, but it does allow her to start the car without taking it out of her purse.

Our house is not a fan of Apple anything. We have no need for this type of gadget. My phone is a phone, my camera is a camera, my computer is a computer. I have no need for a “smart” gadget - we live a simple life out in a rural area. No extra light at night, we see the stars at night when clouds are clear - I’m a country bumpkin and I’ll stay that way.

Oh, yeah!

Has anyone seen my watch?

Apple Watch Could Replace Your Car Keys

Only if it is free, will work with my Android phone and never needs to be upgraded then I might consider it as long as my key fob still works too for when it fails.

[Nowhere Man]

I know, I have a “$12 Wal*Mart Special” digital/analogue combo watch and I get a lot of compliments on it. Many people think I paid hundreds for it.

That queer can take his watch and stick it where the sun don’t shine!

This is just Disney’s magic band system.

When a guest goes to the florida parks, a wristband is their key, fastpass, tickets, and even charging to room.

Did apple license this from Disney company?

[SeekAndFind]

Apple has the unique genius of creating marketable products out of innovations nobody see’s any mass use for. The Mouse, GUI, Voice Recognition technology, Multi-touch, etc., these were not invented by Apple.

Apple simply saw the commercial uses of these technology and created useful products from them.

[dalereed]

all the above spells crap!
