Thanks very much for this insight, its really interesting. in your experience, what was the feature however, that you find most useful, that shows how useful to you the watch really is?
I was really dead set on getting the watch but now I decided to wait until the second version. i hope i made a good choice.
There is not one killer feature, but rather lots of little conveniences that add up throughout the day. If I had to pick one thing I'd say silent notifications. Yes there are some fitness bands that offer notifications, but the Apple Watch let's you do a lot more with notifications. I never have to remember to silence my iphone, and I don't miss calls, texts and other notifications I might have missed when my iphone was silent (or even when it wasn't silenced, but I was in a noisy place where I couldn't hear it). I also like how the watch lets me keep my iphone put away most of the time. I'm not as distracted by my iphone because I don't get it out as frequently.
There are lots of little things I didn't expect to like as much as I do: being able to look at my watch to see what music is playing when my iphone is docked to the speakers in the next room, Siri on the watch is awesome, Apple Pay is convenient, etc.
