Feature you see yourself using the most

[macduke]

In order I think I will use them most:

1. Checking the time (watch wearer since 3rd grade)
2. Quickly checking notifications when out and about or doing yard work
3. Glances, especially weather or Dark Sky, controlling Nest thermostat
4. Fitness tracking (I'm joining the million steps program at work and doing a few other healthy tasks where I can basically earn enough money between May and October paychecks to pay for the Apple Watch)
5. Quick reply to messages
6. Siri for reminders, timers and notes

I'm hoping to use it for Apple Pay over the coming year, but there still aren't a whole lot of Apple Pay terminals where I live. I'd also like to figure out a way to use it to open my garage door and I'm hoping in a few years I can use it as a key fob in whatever car I get. I also hope that automated lighting systems come down in price, as I'd love to control my lights with it. We don't have good overhead lighting in my house (first home, lesson learned), so there are a series of lamps I have to turn on around the room and it's just inconvenient. I'd like to custom build my next home in about 4-5 years, so I'm really looking forward to the home automation capabilities that will be available to me by then and the role that wearables will play in that.

Outside of checking time, I would say replying to texts and Apple remote as well.

Given the understated discussion that prevails on the forum, I hope you don't mind my downplaying what I think the watch can do.

For me, the most-used feature will be the sense of eternal peace and everlasting harmony I will receive in bonding with my Apple Watch. While many of you see this as just a utility, and appliance, I see the watch as much more: the key to the meaning of life.

The expansion of consciousness that the Apple watch provides, the seamless interface between my individual soul and the wider human zeitgeist that comes from the first true bionic mass-market network interface, is clearly a major step on the journey to human nirvana, as first revealed to the Buddha.

Carl Spackler had to wait on his deathbead to have total consciousness revealed to him; how lucky am I to achieve this state by partnering with my Apple Watch?

Absolutely brilliant

Apple remote

I wear the MFi hearing aids called Linx- I will be using their app to control and adjust my hearing aids.

then I'd be using notifications, Apple pay, Remote for apple tv and messages/calls.

 

[kovey]

leaving my phone at home and using my watch to make and recv calls

Yea, this isn't possible.

I think the person knew that and wanted to make a snarky comment haha.

Well, you do realize that Android Wear just got a supposedly big update that allows you to do that.

Not sure what's the point of leaving your smartphone at home though, unless you're just headed off to the gym or something, and are also relying on someone's Wi-Fi to reconnect you back home to your smartphone.

 

[KaPOWitsCHRIS]

Activity tracking and notifications will be my main uses.

 

[Tsuchiya]

Stocks.

 

[vikingjunior]

Navigations and pay die hard 5s user.

Yeah Android is about to get some serious updates. Looking forward to it!

 

[Shanghaichica]

Checking the time. Checking emails and notifications.

 

[karmamule]

Strapping it to my cat's neck and triggering the taptic feedback multiple times...

(And, no, I wouldn't really do that but she just bit through another charging cable and I'm having all sorts of dark fantasies)

 

[AbsoluteMustard]

Running apps and Apple Pay

I can see that being a huge feature. I'd love to leave my phone in my locker during workouts.

I'm planning on waiting until Apple Watch 2. Hopefully that will be in the next version.

That's what your phone is for! Duh.

To be technical, your phone Mager function is to make and take call. The watch function soley is to tell the time. So he is not out of place or wrong to say. He will use the AW to check the time.
