Have you ever heard the expression "a solution looking for a problem?" Sounds like you have a "purchase looking for a retroactive justification." I myself have never found one, and so don't have an iWatch. I have a regular one. If you don't currently own a wristwatch you like, and want the weight, or to wear one as an accessory, perhaps you should try buying a regular watch. It could also be that you are leaving the thing at home because you don't have much use for it, not because there's nothing it can do for you, but nothing you'd rather have it do for you than something else, like your actual iPhone, OR there are things you don't bother asking it to do because perhaps battery consumption would be high enough that you're anxious about it crapping out and dying on you while you're out and about, and then it can't do what you wanted or needed it to do.
MY ADVICE TO YOU: go back and re-watch (no pun intended) Apple's various ads and tutorials for the iWatch, and see if any of that seems like a good idea, something worth trying out. But the sad truth is, to my mind, anyway, that the iWatch does very little on its own without the iPhone, what it CAN do mostly your iPhone can do too, making it frankly, redundant, and just another thing to remember to charge. Bear in mind, that in an iDeal World, (from Apple's perspective, you understand,) you would wake in the morning, and your Apple iPillow would detect you've awakened, (the idea here is to have those sensors to track your sleep, figure out when you're awake, and likely to hoist your head from OFF your iPillow, so as to notify the WiFi and Bluetooth enabled iCafe in the kitchen as to the ideal moment to start brewing your morning coffee, and your iFridge and iStove when the optimal moment is to crack the eggs, and begin frying them up for you. A fresh orange rolls through a rainbow hued tube towards the iJuicer...
After stumbling into the bathroom, you stand on the iMat in front of your toilet, and urinate, (or sit on it, depending on your own personal anatomy and preferences). The toilet is of course, an ordinary toilet, but the SEAT is the new Apple iSeat, a $289.95 internet connected seat that in conjunction with the mat, analyze your weight, body-fat, the amount of urine and/or other materials deposited in the toilet, and automatically not only track this information for Health purposes, but also monitor hydration, renal function, presence of sugar, ketones, proteins, bilirubin, etc., in your waste, and (with your permission that it will nag you for again and again if you don't give it when you're told to,) share it with your doctor. After you wipe your ass, (you still have to do that yourself, sorry... though Microsoft does offer toilet paper made from recycled Windows 8 and 8.1 manuals they had laying around...) you put on your Apple iNtimates, underwear that constantly monitors your reproductive organs for optimal function and peak fertility, in case, you know, you want to invoke the re_produce() function call. You shave (or not,) and brush your hair with devices Apple has sold you to monitor hair growth rate and health, to help you achieve the greatest degrees of body and sheen, as well as telling you when you need to condition it, or if you're overdoing it, and help avoid burning it with either the iCurler or Blowedr iEr. (Get it? Blow Dr... I... er?)
Donning your Apple Watch, Apple Belt (helps keep track of girth at the waist and amount of force required to ensure adequate static friction to hold your pants from slipping off,) and iPants, you say, "Hey Siri, which color shirt should I wear today," and seven different devices argue with each other about which one you were talking to; meanwhile, your iSocks are already hard at work to ensure that, in conjunction with your Space-Grey iShoes, your feet and toes have adequate circulation, ventilation, and arch support, and open and close small water-resistant vents to keep them dry and comfortable, and (if you splurge and buy the iSocks X,) automatic fungus, mold, and stench detection and remediation.
Then gathering up all the Apple products you will carry on your person indirectly using pockets, your ears, bandoliers, necklaces or straps, and slipping your iPads into your bra if you use one, (yeah, in the near future, iPad will refer to at least two different KINDS of products...) or into your backpack or cargo pockets, depending on which you use, and putting on your iGlasses, (yep...) you grab your key-chain, (which at this point has half a dozen different RF fobs on it, and your mailbox key, which you still have one of for some reason, and get half way to where your Apple Car is parked, when you realize you somehow forgot your iPhone.
Oh, and also the Apple Belt didn't fully charge for some damned reason, (the Eruption jack must be dirty again, or maybe you simply neglected to update to beltOS 3.9.1b,) one of your earPods is crackling, but there's nothing wrong with it, the Genius Squad guy told you last week, it's a feature that lets you know you're wearing iGlasses and earPods at the same time, which you're sure is not a feature but a bug, but since Apple doesn't discuss bugs for security reasons, you're not really sure, you just know this:
You simply can't live without ANY ONE of your Apple iProducts. Oh, and in this marvelous future, people like me still exist, and still are banging on about how it has now been 17 years since the last refresh of the Mac Mini, and it's pretty appallingly stone-aged now, since the earPods have more processing power, memory, storage, and better WiFi than the Mini, which is what's so odd about the fact that they are still charging $499 for the base model.
But I've digressed. Hopefully you got a chuckle, and an idea for how to address your problem of having an Apple device that you don't actually seem to have a use for. OH!
Have you considered starting a collection of obsolete Apple devices, and make a little shrine to them in an alcove in the hallway off the living-room, perhaps under a backdrop of Steve Jobs stroking his chin thoughtfully in his trademarked black turtleneck iSweater? You could festoon it with 30 pin connecting cables, Apple Cinema Display connectors, and other proprietary things that Apple insisted you had to use with their products and then unceremoniously abandoned, like MagSafe 1 and soon, 2...
Sorry, I'm in a weird mood, even for me.
i've had my Apple Watch since the first units went on sell. My problem, I keep forgetting my watch at home in the morning. I never seem to remember it and never seem to miss it through the day.
What am I missing? Just seems like not much there to need it as a device. I don't care about the ‘circles’ or other exercise stuff.
Figure my Apple Watch has sat on the charger for three months at this point.
Any ideas on what I can do to make it a worthwhile device?
