Public reaction to my apple watch?

So, was she older or did she just look that way? LOL.
This may sound strange but I'm not actually waiting for the Apple Watch I purchased to tell time. I have a Timex Sport Watch for that, and my iPhone as well. So, no need to compare it with the fancy Swiss watches. I can buy a "timepiece" for $10 these days.
I bought it for the "smart' part of what it offers and will offer. The biggest issue for me is that I have an iPhone 6 Plus and keep taking it out to check for a message or text I got. Of course, once I have it out, I go to FB, Strava, other stuff. The Apple Watch accomplishes that. News snippets? Same. Upcoming calendar items? Same.
Who else knows what this new paradigm might achieve. I saw a great article about a deaf and blind woman who said the Apple Watch really helped her get around via the Taptic Engine and the maps features.
So, Apple is not competing with the watch makers, they are changing the dynamics of how we get our information, and how we act on it.
I can see the Apple Pay feature alone being a huge timesaver as well as a big help in reducing credit card fraud.
Surprisingly, I've had none. I think people do notice it because of the distracting blue band, but otherwise...no questions. I'm trying to keep it that way.![]()
Get a lot of "Is that an Apple Watch? I'm hearing mixed reviews on it. Worth it or not in your opinion?"
My reply is usually exactly what they stated they've already heard. My own opinions on it are mixed as well.
For an Apple product to have mixed reviews, rather than polarizing reviews, is newsworthy in and of itself.
Well, it wasn't a kid, wasn't a guy, wasn't a teenager, wasn't someone that looked to be my age. She had grey/white hair and the wrinkles to go along with the "look". Could have been a good disguise, but I'm betting she was in the 55-70 category.
Older was much easier to type on my phone than explaining my definition of that term.
Touch.

Do you find that a lot of people that you're only semi-friends with are asking to try it on?

I say no, then change the subject.
So what would you call it?
Dunno, but you got me thinking about device names a little bit.
As much as I like their current method of calling devices "Apple" this and that, that naming style didn't seem to excite the mass public for either the "Apple TV" or the "Apple Watch."
On the other hand, I remember people asking me what an "iPod" was. They didn't really care. They were drawn in by the "i" name.
So, who knows. Maybe they should've called it the "iWatch" after all. Or at least the "Apple Smart Watch", which hints at it being more than just a watch.
What do you think? Does "Apple Watch" convey enough ooomph?
No. iWatch is creepy.

I thought it Apple Watch because you need an iPhone, it's an accessory. The same with Apple TV. It's sold as an accessory to the iPhone.

I suspect the term "iWatch" sounds a bit too geeky & techy. They want this to be a piece of jewlery that just to happens to be a smart watch.
I personally thing that's why they dropped the "i" and usedinstead. It does sound a lot less like a gadget when you call it the
Watch.
