You're in a meeting and you feel a tap on the wrist. You reflexively raise your wrist, and lo and behold, a digital wang and two balls animate on your wrist. Anyone else think this could get embarrassing? Am I forgetting some reason this won't be an issue?

I guess it depends if your phone is in your pocket or on the table.

Or do you mean a dick pic popping up on the AW? Yeah, that would also be an issue lol...

You choose what you get and when you get it on your wrist. If you are worried about your contacts sending dirty sketches while you are on a meeting, maybe you should put it on do not disturb mode.

This won't be an issue for me because my friends are over 12 years of age....

I think it'll be hilarious. I'll just ignore those in mixed company.

They're sketches. For all anyone who sees it may know, it's your toddler child/niece/nephew trying to draw you a flower or something from mom or dad's Apple Watch.

Creative excuses are your friend.

Who's the creeper at your work, lurking directly over your left shoulder... reading your personal texts on your teeny watch screen?
How are you unaware of them practically straddling you, all up in your personal space?
Are you mute in this scenario and can't say: "dude, are you serious??? nobody else in this meeting can see what's being displayed on my watch face, as I activate it by turning it toward me & hold it up in front of my face, and my face alone.. would you mind following the etiquette of every civilization on the planet & the rules of every business that ever was, by keeping your cheek further than two inches from mine?"

I'm having a difficult time imagining the social scenario you're describing.

Lol you could very well be right. I don't know if the screen lights up as soon as you get the notification while providing tactic feedback simultaneously, or if the screen remains dark while it taps you, and doesn't display the message until you raise your wrist. I suppose it also depends on a lot of other factors like the seating arrangement, etc.

Just figured I'd point out a possibility that may not have occurred to some folks. I'm sure it will result in at least a few awkward moments once these are out in the wild...

All i will be doing with that feature is drawing wangs.

I always say "give a man a pen, he'll draw a wang"

Haha...
Yeah, maybe theater- where someone is seated directly behind you.

I'd silent alerts at a meeting or theater though.
 
I'm dying with laughter over this thread.

I only wish I had some geek friends who will actually spend money on such a device so we can do this back and forth when I get mine. Yes I'm a grown adult but what can I say, I like Beavis and Butthead.
 
I have a friend that has absolutely no interest in the Apple Watch he doesn't have an iPhone and uses a simple Nokia phone.

If he bought an Apple Watch he would be sending me dick picks all day long, it's what we did at school in our younger days and still find it funny when we talk about the thinks we got up to in our school days.

This might be a high tech gadget but the simple things still remain the same
