I was watching iJustine's First impression video and a weird message came on the watch screen asking to activate Hand off on the watch....but I never heard of hand off on the watch. Is there hand off on the apple watch??
 
Yes, there is. It's somewhere on the apple website...

Yes.

For example if you raise your wrist and say "Hey Siri, I need directions to pizza hut" the next screen will tell you about hand off and if you wake up your iPhone you will see the hand-off icon on the lock screen.

It does this for a few functions but I don't remember them all at the moment. All I know is when it says hand-off I look on my iPhone lock screen.

Just to elaborate a bit further, it seems to work across all supported Hand-off devices including your Mac. See pictures.
