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

I would be a little more embarrassed by this.

If his left pinky rises just a little more, he may just lose it. At least I dont have to worry about losing limbs with my watch.

I used Siri in the supermarket the other day to reply to a text. A shelf stacker, who couldn't see me hold a phone thought I was speaking to him and then realised it was a gadget

Haha! Must've thought you said, "Hey, Sir"

I'd be more embarrassed to spend £600 on a watch that I only wore around the house for fear of pointing and mocking. Never want to be that person.

Where I live, it would be better to use the Apple Watch, as a watch with a few notifications when outdoors. When indoors I will do whatever I want with it.

I pay for things with my AW every day. Every time the cashiers are impressed.

I don't feel embarrassed but I do feel a little self-conscious at times. I don't always want attention from strangers when I look at the time.

today I specifically went to an Apple Pay merchant to try this out. and didn't do it. so yes-self-conscious too much!

Not at all. It looks nice and performs way more functions than other watches I have.

Being an early adopter means you get to chuckle in two years when the majority have caught on (like swiping/pinching on the first iPhone in 2007 while most were still bashing T9 messages out on the plastic Nokias).

I'd be embarrassed if I wore a Pebble - those things are hideously ugly (sorry Pebble owners).

Talking into your apple watch feels a bit like the first time you facetimed in public. After a while it's no big deal. It just might take a little bit longer for this to be normal.

Not really. I just try to not act like I'm flashing it at people. I've used it to pay at Starbucks a few times because it really is simpler to say "Hey Siri, open Passbook" than to open it on my phone. I tried to use it for Apple Pay at a Firehouse Subs place but failed, mainly because I think I hadn't figured out Apple Pay on the watch yet. So instead of INSISTING on using it, I just used my phone instead.

There are people with much more expensive watches who glance at them just to tell time, so I don't really feel bad about using it. I just wish some people I knew didn't think I would stare at it "all day." That's not even the point of the thing. It's much more discreet to dismiss email, text and app notifications on my watch than it is to grab my phone to do the same thing.
