Are you going to feel embarrassed using your Apple Watch in public?

That's right. Hells to the no. I will wear it, talk to it, and scorn others who mock me. It will be glorious. Educational opportunity at every encounter! Brilliant indeed.

Most of your clients wear pieces of jewelry that serve no purpose whatsoever besides telling time and showing that they're rich. You will be wearing a genius computer. Wear it proud.
I can hear myself now:
"Siri, why isn't anyone talking to me?"
Seriously, though, I could see myself doing everything in public but answering the phone or talking to Siri on it - but that's only because I wouldn't use a speakerphone in public anyway. In the car, all bets are off.
Everyone at the gym is already wearing some tech anyway; I will just be wearing *prettier* tech (looking at you, Moto 360 dude).

Really, I honestly don't think it's nerdy at all. It will hopefully become commonplace. Right now, especially with all of the celebrities flaunting it (which will pick up after launch), I think it's already considered cool. haha
I don't know why people say they are afraid of talking into the Apple Watch. Every time I go out I see people talking out into thin air. I can't see a phone on them. I presume they are talking into some kind of Bluetooth device connected to a phone. It's either that or I live in an area with a disproportionate number of schizophrenics in the population. It looks really odd and I still find it disconcerting to see fellow shoppers having animated conversations with nothing visible.
If they ever do a remake of the movie "Harvey" the main character can just say he's talking into his Bluetooth headset and not a giant invisible rabbit.
Hell yeah, I'm going to talk into my phone if I have to. At least you can see I'm talking into something and not just having a psychotic break. Of course I won't be a horse's ass about it. I'll say a few quick words and be done. I'm not going to get into an argument with my wrist in public!

Truth be told.
At first extremely.
I just don't know if it will cause unwanted attention. I don't need stares. I'm self conscious as it is, and try to blend in.
It will pass.

If I were to be embarrassed about something I'm wearing, I wouldn't wear it. I didn't spend $747.93 (still haven't been charged) and wear it to be embarrassed or self conscious.
Right. At least it wont look like you're just talking to yourself.
Talking into a watch may be a new gesture, but at least people will know what you're doing.
Now if you were talking in your watch, and no one said anything back...
then I'd be a little worried.
