Can someone explain to me why or the advantage of having bluetooth on your watch? If you have to have your phone on you all the time anyway to use it why not just use the bluetooth on your phone for wireless headphones etc...

only thing I could maybe see is if you happen to store a few songs on your watch and leave your phone elsewhere, is this what its mainly for?
 
  • Your :apple:Watch connects to your iPhone by BT
  • You don't have to have your iPhone with you and can listen to a Playlist (many tracks/2GB???) using BT headphones.
  • You can connect BT devices like a HR strap to your :apple:Watch.
Here are just 3 reasons why.
