According to your signature you have a MacBook Pro and an iPad. Think about why and when you use each of these and you will probably understand why owning an Apple Watch and an iPhone could make sense to quite a few people.
I think he's referring to the fact that you can simply make a SIRI inquiry from any device without going through the hassle of launching the app, not questioning why anyone would need Apple Watch. At least that's how I read it.
Why would I ever download and use Shazam when I can ask Siri what song is playing?

Or you could just say "what song is this"

Install the app "Launcher" on your iPhone. Great way to access the apps you'd like from your lock-screen. That way, I get into Shazam in less than 3 secondes
Hopefully ESPN makes their fantasy football league available on the watch. I'll finally be able to live the dream of making last-minute changes in the middle of church.
Didn't take long for envy to come in on this thread. There are those here who do.
Oh those affluent Toyota owners, with so little paid on that mortgage, I'm sure you have plenty of dime to drop on the Apple Watch!

Think you've probably taken the original comment a little to heart....sounds to me it was said in jest...
But if you say "what song is this" It doesn't save the tag for later reference, so it seems Shazam is still superior. Plus, with Shazam, any songs I tag are added to a playlist in Spotify.
Sorry, indeed misinterpreted the post. The Shazam app has quite a bit more functionality than the in-built Siri functionality. I question personally though how much of the user-base of Shazam actually uses those functions, besides the normal song detection stuff.
Ever tried getting Siri to understand you when it's 5am in a Berlin nightclub?
Oh yeah, this is a tech news forum. Enjoy shazam-ing Game of Thrones.
Siri has Shazam built in. So you can use Siri to say "what song is this?" or "what song's playing?" or something of the sort. She'll listen and use Shazam by herself, without opening another app or even needing to have Shazam installed.

It does tag for later. If you shazam a song with Siri, it gets saved in a wishlist in iTunes.
Or, you're driving, listening to the radio and a song comes on you're interested in, and your phone is in your pants pocket.
My gut says it was not jest but pure envy. There are a lot of "lower peak" Apple users here that beg, borrow, steal and scrap to do anything they can to own an Apple product. In a way, they are lot like Harley riders that can't afford the better rallies but not as cool.
Wow. I read it as jest myself.
Being that pretentious and judgemental is bad for you.

You sound like a lot of fun, lol.
Perhaps but personally I've never taken much interest in the elitist attitude towards life.
Apple has no rival when it comes to third party support from developers and accessory makers. It's a staggering difference.

I really hope Apple comes through with a Watch OS update that speeds app loading. Because with all these developers jumping in, I'm going to want to use a lot of these new apps.
You might be surprised.. I love the fact that Shazam saves the song so that later on I know exactly what the hell I was looking up in the first place
