I am wondering if most people where their watch around the house? or just when they go out? I am going to start doing that just cause its better than carrying my phone around all day.

I don't have an AW, but I do have other smart watches. I prefer to wear mine in the house, but when I go out I leave it at home unless i am going to be driving for a few hours. For me, the only feature that I care about are notifications.
 
Don't have mine yet but will wear it almost all the time unless I'm doing some dirty work that could scratch it all up. After all it's only a watch. Just like my 14 Vette which I drive almost all year long unless it's a blizzard. After all, it's just a car and plastic don't rust.

I wear it until I go to bed. Wish my Sport band would arrive already as the Milanese loop isn't exactly comfortable to wear ALL the time.
 
Always. I'm about to go gardening right now. I'm a bit nervous as I don't have AppleCare + or a watch guard yet. But gotta start living my routine with it at some point. Gardening and landscaping is a large part of what I do this time of year.

Okay my break is over and off to work I go. Wish me luck.
 
I don't wear watches around the house. But I do wear one outside all the time.
 
It's perfect at home for setting timers when cooking something, controlling my Elgato Avea or making phone calls. Love it.
 
Of course I do, I didn't buy it to just leave it lying around. I've used it to control my Apple TV and to set a timer since I seem to always forget at what time I put something in the oven. It's nice to get that buzz to tell me its done.

In the house is probably the only time I actually respond to text messages on my watch because its convenient for me while cooking or cleaning.

Yeah when I'm by myself is about the only time I'm going to talk to my watch. It's actually more accurate than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised.

Also, I've got to get credit for all those steps around the house. Gotta hit that move goal. Not going to make it if my watch is sitting on the charger.
 
I wear it around the house almost all the time. Sometimes later in the evening once I have all three of my exercise circles I take it off though. :D
 
I would start wearing it around the house more if I can get the charging situation figured out.
 
Yes, I wear it around the house. The watch gives me stand reminders, and I can get notifications without having to have the phone with me -- the phone stays on my desk.
