I’m watching (no pun intended) the Apple Watch pitch. I really wonder if there is a big market for this sort of device. I wouldn’t use one if it was free. Just not for me. Love my iPad. Love my iPhone. No iWatch or Apple Watch for me.
I predicted some time back that they were going to go for the health market. As it is, they are interfacing with a lot of health products I already use at home: weight scale, blood pressure, etc. Each can be sent to your doc or hospital.
I love their pedometer on their iPod ... the best I’ve ever used. They just introduced a pedometer that is used on stairways. Nike has shoes that interconnect with their health apps. They will become more sophisticated in time.
Also, I just bought a new house a few weeks ago. Everything in it is computerized and connects to my iPhone. The front door lock, the cameras filming people at the front door. Being able to give a friend a one-time pass to my front door, turning on my lights, AC, washing machine and garage door from my front door ...
Now all of that and more on the watch. Also, my home is hooked up with cameras that show up on my iPhone. All of that is now and more in the future for the phone and the watch, i predict.
Do I have to have the watch? Dunno.
It’s cute that you can send a loved one two REAL beats of your heart which your watch is monitoring at all times.
I still carry a pocket watch.
