It’s for the fact that phones are getting big to the point that they’re notably inconvenient to dig out of pocket, purse or briefcase just to check the latest notification, time, or other trivial glance.

Maybe that’s why I don’t want one. I can pretty much tell time intuitively plus I have clocks all around me. I don’t need or want a watch. I never check notifications.

Try watching a YouTube video or reading and posting to FR with your shiny new iWatch. Good luck with that.

If you like the Apple watch, then you’ll love the Apple iRing. It’s a ring that connects to your Apple Watch (that’s connected to your iPhone in your pocket) so that you will no longer be burdened to raise your cuff to see the Apple watch. Messages are displayed in the unprecedented unbelievable amazing retinal sapphire display. The iRing display is so advanced, that it can display an incredible FULL character at a time. iRoll technology allows you switch between apps by simply rolling the iRing around your finger. It has battery technology so advanced, that it can last your entire commute. The Apple iRing is designed by iJony Ive, to be the most beautiful and functional device ever created by Apple.
The Apple iRing will compete with the Android Cuff-Linkdroid and the Microsoft eButt-On electronic button.

Neither of those are listed functions of the Apple Watch. . . nor would they be something one would wish to do with one.

Several benefits that I can see:

1. Quickly answer the iPhone without having to dig the iPhone out of your pocket, purse, or briefcase before the call goes to visible voice mail.
2. Quickly Initiate a telephone call by voice by telling Siri to call by name or phone number without having to dig the iPhone out of your pocket, purse, or briefcase.
3. Quickly see a text, MMS, or alert at a glance to see if you need to take any action to handle the information without digging your iPhone out of your pocket, purse, or briefcase.
4. Respond to a received quick glance text or MMS with a quick select choice from a set of prepared options directly from the Apple Watch.
5. Respond to a received quick glance text or MMS with a more complex dictated reply using Siri.
6. Send a text to any individual in your address book or phone number by dictating it to Siri.
7. Using Siri, ask for directions to any destination and have Siri provide turn-by-turn directions either by driving, bicycling, or walking.
8. Ask Siri for directions to the nearest gas station or restaurant.
9. Ask Siri any question, without using your iPhone directly, some can be answered by Siri by voice, some on the screen of the Watch, some you may have to get out the iPhone to read fully. Your choice.
10. Set and check appointments from your calendars using Siri.
11. Make appointments and reservations using Siri.
12. Monitor your walking, running, bicycling, resting, with or without the presence of your iPhone.
13. Monitor your heart rate while exercising, with or without the presence of your iPhone.
14. For patients under medical care, send heart rate and pattern to your cardiologisit or clinic instantly or on a schedule.
15. Use ApplePay without digging out your iPhone from your pocket, purse, or briefcase at several hundred thousand retail stores and restaurants.
16. Instantly open digitally locked doors without taking any action at all.
17. Plays a limited selection of your iTunes music while you are jogging, or walking, bicycling without carrying your iPhone with you.
18. Remote control for your Apple TV.

Those are just the ones I have read about without going in to the thousands of apps that Apple is now talking about that will be available on April 24th when the Apple Watch will start being delivered.
