(you haven’t specifically noted a reliance on glasses like I have for reading)
You are clearly an astute reader. I can still read many things without glasses, just depending on how small it might be, the time of day (how tired my eyes might be), etc. My eyes work much better in the middle of the day now. They are blurry when I wake, get clearer, and if I read or otherwise strain them, they are blurrier getting on toward bedtime.
But, seriously, whether if I'll use hardly any of the other functionality besides the Apple Watch being a mobile juke box to play on Bluetooth headphones or speakers streaming from LTE is questionable at this time...
If I can voice control it for as song, without the phone, that is good enough for me, even with the crazy price tag. This is such a killer feature/app for me personally, I'm thinking about biting the bullet and getting the XS Max anyway.
However, I'm also thinking about trying to replace the functionality of my laptop I'm typing this on with a tablet or phablet as such so, if I am successful, and even though I will be forever grateful I learned to type in high school, if speech-to-text (I write a little) and other functionality can replace my workflow at current speeds, or even improve it, then I am ready and going to try!
I may use some mix of technologies...so my sincere desire for quick music access might be my catalyst to utilizing the latest technological innovations. Thinking this way creates a new problem though...the Android world is ever so adaptable, varied, and less expensive...I don't know much about it yet but DEX control sounds interesting...

There is an argument for allowing pairing of an iPad with cellular to a Watch. I suspect the cellular carriers would then want more money for the iPad cellular plans.
Yes, there is a very strong argument for this to me personally. Considering the best surgery to correct my farsightedness costs about $12,000 and I don't really give a crap about most of the other functionality between the phone and watch--if Siri can queue up a song with the processing power of the phone. The new watches do supposedly have 2 processors! Maybe it can process "Play 'Nothing Else Matters' by 'Metallica'" for example.
I think I'll go by T-Mobile and see if she can repeat playing a song for me with her phone offline from the watch! If it will do this, I will probably spend the crazy amount of money and try to make the technology leap as best I can figure out too..
