I've talked to a lot of Apple Watch skeptics who scoff when they see my Space Grey Sport. The conversation usually goes something like this:
Me: What can your $400 watch do?
Skeptic: Tell the time. What can your $400 watch do?
Me:
Tell the time.
Track my activity/workouts.
Display new text messages/emails.
Warn me when it's about to rain (Dark Sky).
Control the music throughout my house.
Remind me of upcoming appointments.
Provide turn-by-turn directions.
Answer or place a phone call.
Quick access to one-time passwords (for 2FA).
And much more....
Skeptic: But you have to charge it every day!
That's it! That's the biggest knock against the Apple Watch.
I just don't get why the bar is set so high, given that the existing technology is so limited AND has a similar (or higher) price tag.
