Apple Watch at the Movie theater

Not at all...I did not care for it at all really and have liked every other Marvel movie a lot. It just disappointed on many levels.
I too am worried about people using their Watch (and phones still) in theater, bothers the hell out of me.
It might not have been distracting but I don't know about common sense. The last person to notice your own bad habits is probably yourself.
I wore mine to Furious 7 for my second viewing, and I thought about turning off the raise feature. But then I realized I ALWAYS have a hoodie on in the theater, because it's like a freezer in there, so it was covered the whole time anyway. Since I can't see the Avengers until Sunday, I am not reading the rest of this thread, just in case 
I prefer the first movie by far, but I don't think age of ultron was a bad movie at all. I didn't like the storyline (and there's a lot going on)
That said, there are parts that are really strong. It was enjoyable for what it was, but I think this will probably be the weakest avengers film (The Russo brothers take over with the next installments)
Also the "spoilers" that were posted earlier weren't true
, I think the poster was just having fun with the "spoiler thing".I had long sleeves, so the watch wasn't a problem, but I'd either just turn off the raise to wrist or just turn the watch for the duration of the movie & get any notifications on my phone (in my pocket), like I used to do.
I saw Ultron last night - wasn't as good as the first one, but had its moments.
As a precaution, I set my watch on the dimmest screen setting. It didn't disturb anyone. Now, the guy two seats away from me who had his cell phone set to "strobe light" whenever he received a call or text? He disturbed everyone.

Enjoyed the movie, but also got to use the watch with my Fandango tickets and it was a very smooth process. The 2 tickets (a single QR code) were in my passbook. When I got to the theater I got a tap noticing that I was there and the QR code popped right up ready to be scanned. The ticket attendant thought it was pretty cool. After it was scanned I scrolled up and the theater number and show time were listed on the watch. Very cool and seamless process.
Switch sound off and put your watch in the dimmest mode possible.
You'll be surrounded with people using their phones, anyway.
That was my experience today.

Ditto. Exactly the same thing today at Avengers.

No, If you have the Fandango app on your iPhone and open the app after you've made a purchase it will ask if you want to add the tickets to passbook. Obviously you need to use the same fandango account to buy the tickets as the one associated with the app on your phone. I don't think it'll do it for you automatically, though maybe there's a setting hidden in the Fandango app somewhere.
Ha! Nice one.
I like the reduced complications recommendation best. Before the movie starts, change your face. When the movie is over, change it back. Mystery solved. Next?
I watched Age of Ultron Thursday night with my Watch and it was perfect. Even better because I didn't have to take my phone out to check the time. Just a quick glance on the Watch, then put the Watch back down and the screen turned off.
I'll weigh in as another view of Age of Ultron who had no issues whatsoever with his watch, and for those asking if it bothered the person beside you - my wife was also wearing hers and I never caught sight of it the entire movie.
Exactly. My daughter was sitting next to me on the left (same side as my watch) and she never noticed it. I did glance at the time a couple of times (long movie) and simply covered with my hand to make it turn off again.
I just think it's so nice when people care enough to worry about being a distractions for others.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yup, this was my experience. I even left DND off since I was expecting to get a text. Wasn't a problem to check real quick.
yes
Yes, we probably need a movie mode or some easy access mode to turn the face off automatic wrist detection because yes, it does keep coming in the movie theatre (well, it comes on everywhere as expected its just MUCH more noticeable in the theatre)
There also needs to be a mode to turn off the instant on when the crown is touched because when you use it with workout gloves (And the crown is facing the wrist) it keeps coming on and I am sure it will drain the battery faster.

I just read this in Apple Insider on Apple Watch tips: http://appleinsider.com/articles/15...-light-movie-theatre-face-for-the-apple-watch
I set up my Movie Mode watch face as a choice on my watch so I'll be ready to switch to it when we see a movie this week. Just have to remember to change the Do Not Disturb setting in the Glances. Gotta love the flexibility of this Apple Watch!
