Well, I like the idea of making quick checks about the weather without pulling something out of my pocket. And, the fact that you can see who is calling is great. How many times do you pull the phone out of your pocket to see who is calling? Then, there are the texts that you’ll get right on your wrist. Not all texts do I want to respond to, and I can just tap a button and say, “get back to you” ... with that touch of a button, and follow up later. Some texts, I’ll want to follow up right now. For example, the teacher at school will text me if there is a problem. I’ll want to know that one right away and I’ll respond immediately, as I have done before.

And since I’ll also get e-mails that I’ll want to respond to quickly, I’ll want to see certain e-mails. I’ll not use it as a way to actually interact with e-mail, as much as I’ll want to simply be “aware” of what is coming in, so I can leave most of it, and then only respond to one or two.

When I’m out riding a bike, around here a thunderstorm can come out of nowhere. I have been known to be riding back home very quickly in the midst of lightening and thunder, which is not supposed to be a good idea. I can track that, when out and about on the bike, with an alert system, and I have those alert apps because you need them around here in Tulsa (tornadoes, too ... doncha know ... :-) ...).

Those are some things I can come up with, off the top of my head. I’m sure when I get to using it more, I’ll find more. I’m not really sure of the extent of the health apps right now for it, but I expect it to be “big” with the Apple Watch, so I’ll have to see what develops in that area.
