I lost interest on September 9, 2014.
Your cure would be to return it. You obviously don't know what it is or how to use it.I am beginning to not see the point of the watch...it was nice at first..now I'm just not seeing the point much...i think i am just bored..but i was expecting to kind of be constantly entertained with a "smartwatch"
Heck my wife doesn't even wear her watch at all, the emojis and heartbeats between watches was super cool for the first week, but then it was no more. The exercise tracking feature i suppose is its lone purpose for me
Im not hating on the apple watch at all, i just think i got bored with it
Anyone else have the blues? Any cure?
To be honest, I've never had any interest in the Apple watch.
If you need someone to tell you what to use the watch for, it isn't for you. And obviously, you don't have one, but just want to troll to stir the pot.Care to elaborate on this? Just curious.
That's nice. So why are you participating in this forum? Oh, I get it. You just want to annoy people.To be honest, I've never had any interest in the Apple watch.
Don't ever buy a sofa. It'll bore you senseless.I am beginning to not see the point of the watch...it was nice at first..now I'm just not seeing the point much...i think i am just bored..but i was expecting to kind of be constantly entertained with a "smartwatch"

What forced you to respond not ignore, Demons?Because it came up in the forum spy which I would normally block anything to do with this waste of an overpriced piece of crap watch. Unfortunately the new forum doesn't have filters yet to block undesirable threads. At least I can still block idiots like you.
Is the list above an advertisement for the watch? Do you work for Apple? (just kidding)Still love mine. Things I use it for all day every day:
Time (seriously, I didn't wear a watch before so I didn't know how damn convenient it is to have the time on your wrist!)
Current temperature. REALLY handy to have it instantly there
Activity. I've already lost 15 pounds... and I'm working out more than ever in my life. The activity rings (plus a new Withings Scale) have been extremely motivating.
Notifications. Obvious, but this is huge. I use Google Inbox to tailor my stream of email notifications. I get texts all day and reply to many of them using voice.
Music control. In my house I AirPlay Spotify to my stereo. The Watch lets me move around my house and control the music - including volume which is awesome. On the go I use the Watch to quickly see the name of the artist and song that's playing, skip and control volume.
Weather. Dark sky is sweet. I have a dog so it's great to look at the Dark Sky Glance and see if it's raining or when it's going to stop so I can take him out
Apple Pay. Used it 3 times today even. Use it all the time. Super handy.
Plane Tickets. I load my Delta plane tickets into Passbook... use the watch to breeze through the airport without tickets or needing to get my phone.
Movie tickets. Works perfectly with Fandango.
Concert tickets (seriously).
Starbucks card. Again, in passbook. Works perfectly. Use it daily.
Hue. My whole house is outfitted. It's handy to be able to control them with my watch.
Nest. No official app but I found a good free one.
Email. I just use it to clean out my inbox when I have a minute on the subway/bus. Nothing heavy (I'll pull out my phone instead).
Twitter. The bite sized messages are perfect on the small screen.
Tile. Find my keys when I'm running late.
Grocery lists. My wife and I use a shared Reminders list for groceries. I can add to it or shop from it using Remonders Nano on my Watch.
Driving directions. I actually still use my phone. But I like having the dings/taps on my wrist as a secondary notification.
Calendar. I don't have a regular schedule... but I have many meetings every day. So awesome to have my next meeting instantly on my wrist.
Phone calls! Almost forgot the thing I use it for all day! When it's convenient I answer them right on my wrist. When it's not it's still handy to be able to see who's calling before I go running for my phone or dig it out of my pocket...
Basically: all you guys that can't find utility simply don't have any imagination! The Watch can do so many things! It's not a replacement for a phone (I still use my iPhone all day too) but it does many things more conveniently.

Nice work!
Your list is interesting, especially since I avoided the original, I've found for my preferences, the second generation of any Apple product is worth waiting for.
Oh sure many of the Apple Faithful will vehemently argue that one can buy the original then sell it and move up. But I'm not interested in that game. Already there's rumors about the upcoming replacement, that is the one I'll buy just for the fun of it.
Yet now that the newness has worn off and Apple generated hype has cooled, I don't hear anything about it out amongst mainstream friends and consumers.
After all it's just a watch, an item that most find unnecessary and pointless.
Thanks for the comments all.. Glad i'm not the only one.
Some of the responses are fascinating.... The one about wearing it on my head is priceless
I never expected to be entertained by it, it's definitely lost it's novelty though. I still love receiving notifications on my wrist, and I love the activity tracking, but for what I use it for, I regret paying $600 for mine. In the future, I won't pay more than the minimum amount for the 42mm.
No need to be so sensitive. At no time was it a condescending post. Simply sharing one's observations shouldn't trigger you to make assumptions and take offense. That reveals more about you, than those who have no interest in the watch. It's a product, like any other product. Some like it. Some don't. Only Apple thinks it's such a big deal, they are right. It's their big deal.Could you possibly be any more condescending? If you and your mainstream friends actually took some time to look at what early adopters are doing, you might be surprised that some of us are...gasp...actually using the Apple Watch productively for work and other pursuits.
