It'd be cool, until I want to do something in a place where I shouldn't disturb people nearby.
Got a tip for us?

I thought they had custom faces now? Can you at least choose your own background picture.
I good in the same editable faces that are on the Android wear ... But it's only a software implementation... More speed And reactivity And Smart band 
I like this, I would think about getting one of the more expense models if this was an option.
I like the size and style. I only wish for more responsiveness. Siri takes too long, and action on the phone takes a second or two longer than it should. i try not to show off the phone because it's always extra slow when you try to show someone something...lol. But the notifications are awesome.
Opposite view - nobody would want this in a cinema.
Perhaps sensitivity adjustments when a notification comes in might help you
Wouldn't like it if my watch started flashing/turning on all the time if I was in a meeting or something. A gentle vibration is good enough.
I don't see why it couldn't be an option to have it auto light up. Actually I don't wear my watch on the top of my wrist like it's designed to be worn. I have, all my life, 60+ years, worn my watch on the inside of my wrist and of course this way it doesn't work to twist your wrist to turn it on, so when I get a message or email I have to use my other hand to turn on the watch to see it. That's really why I would like to have an option to have it auto turn on.
3 things are needed to rescue this product from the abyss.
1) all day always on display
2) battery life which allows it to run with always on display for a week
3) make it thinner as it's chunky right now

You'll be waiting at least fifteen years.
Here is my list:
Much, much faster S2 chip
Waterproof
Much louder speaker
Hydration sensor
New bands that suit the sport model (not just sport bands)
Cheaper leather bands
Slightly stronger haptic engine
Less Bezel
- I'm honestly not too fussed about battery life. Mine has been great!

Let me get this straight - you want it to stay on 24/7 for a week without charging yet you want it to be thinner? Yeah, good luck with that.
You mean the technology isn't here yet and Apple shouldn't have released a defective product?
Last time I checked, there are no perpetual motion machines. Every battery runs down. My watch lasts all day and that is as much as I ask of it.
The technology isn't there yet for Apple with their higher end display and hardware. Vast majority of reviews say the watch does not need to be thinner as it is the thickness of the vast majority of watches from Seiko, Tissot and thinner than many Rolex and other smart watches. More of a user preference though. Definitely not to thick for me it is thinner than all my other watches.
I would love an always on display but just the time in case the raise the wrist doesn't work. Always on is the old way of thinking of watches as that was mechanical watches. You look at your watch less than an hour out of 24 hours so who cares if the display goes off. Most people take their watch off each night so it sits there charging. I would think 2 days would be good in case you do an all day workout so you can get 10-14 hours of constant HR monitoring.
Seems like a lot of people are still comparing a smart watch to a mechanical watch. Smart watches might outsell mechanical watches in 5-10 years. Always on display seems silly but I think an always on showing the time would appease the minority. Weeks charge doesn't seem necessary with new charging technologies. You take the watch off and it starts charging with very little effort.
It's a bit of a joke though, yes? I mean, a watch with a battery that runs down each day and companies have the gall to charge big bucks for such design flaws.

Watches from the beginning have been always on. Any company trying to peddle a watch without an always on display is conning the gullible punters. The bottom line is that the iWatch will be a technological basket case until it fixes the three simple flaws I point out above.
iPhones don't have LiFi. If tech blogs are to be believed it's a revolution in wireless communication between devices.
Should Apple just stop creating stuff until it's finalised and the tech is released?

It's not an iWatch but more to the point, traditional watches don't have light up screens. You get some with luminosity, sure, but on the whole, no.
You don't want an always on display in a cinema, for example.
My wristwatch also didn't give me notifications or provide directions. I'm ok with the compromise, as I think 99.5% of Apple Watch owners are.

Depends on usage, I can get two days out of mine. I think your thinking to much for a smart watch, well a decent smart watch anyway. You're saying the AW should last longer or always be on, do you complain when your mobile phone does the same, then compare it to your landline phone which is always on and has been since the dawn on phones?
if your going to criticize something at least call name the modal correctly never heard of an iWatch before....
