Siri on Phone and Pad supports that functionality, but it definitely seems to be a slimmed down version of Siri. When they demo'd Shazam the guy opened the Shazam app instead of just asking Siri "What song is this?" Whether this is Siri slimmed down for Apple Watch or just features still in progress for Shazam's watch app remains to be seen.
Jobs' Mob has decided that the only way that punters will buy their nearly useless iWatch is if they are forced to watch adverts for the thing.
This morning iPhone users woke up to receive and undeletable advert for the iWatch and applications they didn't need forced on them. Now most Apple fanboys were overjoyed that Apple was paying them some attention, but others were less happy.
iOS 8.2 adds in the companion app for the Apple Watch, which Apple talked about in its event on Monday. The app is useful if you have an Apple Watch, as it lets you pair the device with your iPhone. However no one has an iWatch, and no one with any common sense would buy one.
So the Apple Watch app is pretty much just an ad for the watch that you can't delete. It has a bunch of videos showcasing what the Apple Watch can do, and lets you know when you can pre-order one.
There are a large number of tweets from outraged iPhone owners. We guess that Apple has not learned from the time that it forced people to download and listen to U2's latest album, that you should not force people to download things they don't want.
Either that or it is sheer arrogance and stupidity that Apple really does believe that people want to pay $350+ for a device which means they don't have to take their iPhone out of their pocket (but still have to carry it).
10 things you can buy instead of a 349$ Apple Warch A high end phone from China and some change An ipad mini gen 2 and again some change Up to 4×22 inch IPS monitors A 39 inch 4k Seiki TV and have 10$ left. A decent laptop. 10 or more Chromecast. 12 TB of HDDs Over a tonne of steel 11 Firefox OS smartphones An Xbox One
So they can try again when they divide the price by 3 to be at only 2x the price of where competing products will settle.
I said will settle ,as in that's the price such hardware will (can and must) reach soon. It's very little hardware and there are actually already some really poor China ones at that pricing but it's early for now and nobody has a decent product or decent prices. Smartbands started at 99$ and some at 199$ even , Xiaomi has it at 16$, was at 13$ when it launched the exchange rates changed a lot lately.Now even in the US there are some at 50$ but it's still just 10$ hardware. A smartwatch vs a dumbphone is just a stronger shell, more sensors ,no cams and lesser battery and dumbphones go to even 10$, smartphones close to 30$. Apple used to have high margins ,not stupid high margins. Now they are doing stupid high margins. This product would have sucked even at the right price though but at least the competition is poor too. This watch is priced like Samsung 4k TVs were 2 years ago at 5k$, it's idiotic and something Apple knew not to do.
I'm not sure about this. A smart watch should include: excellent (low power) screen, plethora of sensors (this being one of the smart watch's biggest advantages, IMHO), a couple mics (at least), battery, wireless charging. That's a lot of kit, and doesn't include per device design (they need to both look and feel nice). I do think $150, or so, is very doable
The Pebble is $100, the Pebble Time is $180, the Pebble Time Steel is $250, and all are just as capable as the Apple Watch while having up to 10x the battery life. The only thing the Time doesn't have is a speaker (just a microphone) but it still packs an identical sensor package with more sophisticated smart bands and a power sipping display (which isn't touch, but how exactly is a <2" touch screen useful, especially if its damp or you're wearing gloves?)
Hmm. I OWN a Pebble. You, apparently, do not. "Just as capable"? Sure. If you don't think that Siri, or answering calls on your wrist is important. If you don't care about the "intimacy" features (heartbeat, sending drawings). If you don't think that future OS additions (most likely cross-device authentication) don't matter. If you don't think the ability to customize your watch face and glances don't matter.
I love my Pebble. But let's not pretend it's the same thing as what Apple is offering here. Every one of the features I've listed above is something I actually WANT from my Pebble, but don't have.
(aWatch is not perfect. In particular, if charging is not fast enough to happen while I'm showering, meaning I can't sleep with it, then it can't track my sleep and that will irritate me a LOT.)
I don't know why Apple didn't go with colored ePaper like Pebble, but the arc of history shows that people prioritize rich colors and fast animation a LOT more than seems "rational". Kindle still sells their eInk reader to a few devotees, but the mass market [and that includes me] would far rather read using a Kindle app on their retina iPad Air's, with super fast UI interaction and animation, and put up with once a day charging, than accept the limitations of eInk and once a month charging...
" Kindle still sells their eInk reader to a few devotees, but the mass market [and that includes me] would far rather read using a Kindle app on their retina iPad Air's"
I can't remember the last time I saw someone reading something on the tube on an iPad, but I see kindles daily. For that matter, I hardly ever even see people watching movies on an iPad anymore, it is mostly on a phablet.
The most expensive eInk Kindle on the market, the Kindle Voyage, is still backordered, months after it launched. I think the eInk devices are doing just fine...
Actually, they're not. Pebbles are simplistic devices, not even as capable as Android wear. That's why Pebble is coming out with a more sophisticated watch with a completely new OS that obsoletes the current one, though the watch still won't have touch, or a high quality screen.
A Fitbit surge is $249. It's a very different product, but the differences in technology don't scream "not worth $100 more," at least not for people interested in a product of this type.
This is a first ten product and will have a lot more things worked out in a gen 2 or 3. It's Apple the product is going to be on the high end. I'm sure they could start a $100 less. We'll see. I don't think there is enough there for me.
It's a watch first. So in MY OPINION: a) It should not need any form of input, apart from the connection with your phone. b) It should have e-ink or equivalent light reflecting based display tech. c) Color display is a secondary concern. d) Battery life should be 1 day/24 hours of HEAVY use. d) It's a damn watch. I am not going to pay more than 150$ for it.
I think blanarahul isn't OT. Apple often creates market expectations, so it's reasonable to ask what they could have done differently, particularly if the question is whether Apple has got the complete design so perfect on their first iteration that Samsung etc. are going to be blown away. I don't think they have (though it looks to be a pretty good tactile-visual design); the corollary would seem to be that the early winners of the e-watch market may be more likely to be experimenters than beautiful design. Samsung, the company perhaps of most concern to Apple, have sometimes done that kind of experimentation pretty well. A watch following blanarahul's suggestions, with only, say, an acknowledge button (or perhaps at most three buttons), an e-ink display with no touch screen, with control of timers, features, etc., through the phone, and with three days to a week between charge for typical or low usage, would be a different market segment. Temperature, heart rate, accelerometers, and whatever other sensors perhaps should be there but they do not necessarily have to be full time, they can be controlled and activated by the phone to which the watch is connected. The Apple LightWatch, CloudWatch, AirWatch, WindyWatch, IndyWatch, or whatever, can be as distinct from the AppleWatch as the MacBook Air is from the Pro.
This is not a watch. It's a wearable computer, sitting on your wrist, that also can display a watch face. Just like your desktop personal computer does.
The iPhone is again, not a phone. It's an pocketable personal computer, that also can make phone calls.
Apple, as everyone knows, is a one trick pony: all they make is Personal Computers. For several decades, already...
You might not pay more than $150 for a watch, but the contents of my watch box begs to differ. My (entry level) Swiss automatic watches run $500-900, and my two quartz watches sell for $200-300.
Even if you go to Macy's, which by most standards is not a purveyor of high end timepieces, has a fairly small selection under $100.
Most people I know who wear a watch regularly will wear something more than a $20 Timex (despite the Timex having the exact same functionality). I do it because I like automatic watches. I know people who do it because they like the brand and status - the Apple Watch will fit right in with that crowd... maybe.
I know a guy who wears a $5k Vacheron Constantin Quartz. Maybe he'll pick up one of these.
If you go to Macy's to but a watch, you're not doing yourself any favors unless you want to say you bought it at Macy's and spent twice as much as you could have elsewhere.
If you want a good watch, with a good machined steel or aluminum body (not crappy die-cast with chrome on top), antiscratch glass, and good interanals you end up paying more than an Apple Watch Sport. $500 onwards.
$100 watch? Sorry but no. Better save that money for a good watch next time.
You get 1 day, that's it, if you sleep 6 hours a day.
And what you do on that day?
You fiddle with the watch for 45 minutes
You exercise for half an hour while listening to music
You receive 90 notification on your watch (that's 5 every hour)
You check the time 90 times (that's every 12 minutes)
That's a LOT of activity for me. That's seriously a lot on a such small device (size like the original plastic pebble) on pre-production software.
That's one of the reasons I like Apple: they don't lie to costumers and tell a pretty story, they are honest.
I check every Android Wear manufacturer's site: Sony, LG, Samsung, Motorola, and they all say "X" days, but not on which conditions... and then... there are the fanboys... claiming ridiculous battery lifes of not using the device at all.
Plus, you mostly won't have a dead device on your wrist. When the charge is low, the AWatch automatically switches to a mode where it only works as a watch and you're back to pre-Apple Watch times. That mode lasts for 3 complete days with just the rest of the battery...
I remember in their first article, when they were talking about "the Edition edition." I think they're purposefully trying to snub Apple's naming standards.
Then your only option is a Pebble. Every other watch locks you into a specific phone. Samsung Gear locks you into a Galaxy, Apple Watch locks you into an iPhone, etc.
OK, how about a question that ISN'T bitching about the price and/or mere existence of the device?
How does the display "work"? What I mean is: presumably the screen is not always on. So what's triggering it, and how well does it work? Is it triggered merely by movement? (Which would imply it's always on when you're exercising.) Is it triggered by shaking ala Pebble? Is it triggered by the orientation of your wrist somehow? (Not sure how well this would work as a UI, or how the sensors for it would work.)
Second question: an obvious functionality for devices like this is authentication. Apple has mentioned nothing about this, which suggests that they don't have it ready yet. (And presumably even when they do, like TouchID, it'll go through a one-year period of Apple-only use while they try to find the failure modes and insecurities.) Is there any indication on the watch (somewhere in that constellation of god-knows-how-many apps on the screen) of this forthcoming functionality.
This gets into the bitching about price and functionality. OK --- are you lot STILL going to whine about how it's too much money for too little functionality if it means you never have to type a damn password again (at least on Apple devices)?
Supposedly it's smart enough to know when you've lifted your wrist and extended your arm in the way that you do when you're looking at your watch, and turns the screen on when you have done so.
The Pebble display is always on, what shaking triggers is the backlight. I don't think I can get used to the Apple Watch showing just a blank screen until you shake your wrist. A watch is always supposed to be on all the time.
Please fire the moron(s) who came up with that naming scheme:
Apple Watch Sport Apple Watch Apple Watch Edition
It is confusing and shows no consistency between the three. Then, as if in some diabolical plot to make it even more difficult to describe the different product lines, they steal the most obvious word in the English language to differentiate what "version" of the watch you have and use it in the actual product name for one and only one of the watches.
Case in-point from the article: "Having a chance to try the Sport edition...." But not the Edition edition? Or the non-Sport, non-Edition editions?
A book is edited (changed), and so it has editions. A different model of a product is a model, not an edition. It's neither the only nor the most obvious word to use.
I'm thinking Apple is really going to push the steel watch, and "poor" people will be shamed into saying, "I've got Apple Watch... Sport..."
Beware brainwashed followers of the God named Tim and his cult called Apple. Your money is in vain. Think before you act. There is a new marketing device that sucks up your bank account and leave a big hole in your pocket. This device is called...Apple Smartwatch!
Well, if you are actually going to be running and such, you do not WANT a steel band. You want one that is rubber. Personally I cannot stand steel bands because they always end up grabbing the hairs on my wrist.
I respect Apple for trying this but it won't catch on. There really is no use for it for most people. And the lack of a dedicated processor and short battery life will be the final stake in the heart.
Perhaps at some point in the future when this can REPLACE the smart phone but not yet. The technology isn't there. And by replace I mean for those times when you don't need the larger screen of the smart phone but just the phone and the small watch display will do.
Everybody said the iPhone would be a huge flop because it didn't have a keyboard. And then they said the iPad would be a huge flop because its just a giant iPhone. We all know how those worked out.
Apple has this way of creating markets that did not exist before hand.
I'm a huge Apple fan and they do a great job of finding new markets but I think this product is different. At least for this first version, I dont see what the product really enables or makes more convenient.
The iPhone didn't have a keyboard, but if you were to ask people at the time if they wanted to use the internet from anywhere, the answer would have been a resounding YES. That is really what the iPhone enabled and the iPad did as well.
The watch screen size will always be too small to really use the internet so it needs to offer something else. The health functionality could be the big play but I don't see enough features to get excited about in these models.
Actually people had the same complaints about the iPad. "What's the point of a bigger iPhone when I already have a phone and laptop that can do everything the iPad can do?"
It's more about the accessibility and convenience of a watch.
I'm viewing this on my good old Trinitron CRT and looking at the images it would seem that the rumors were correct about this using an LG OLED display, because those black levels are fantastic!
Many apps were embedded in it.It made a hands on impression.There is also app fro health ,...etc And also various models in it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUvH32_aUBw"&... Watch Models</a>

Well, actually, I'm not a member of any 'Mob'. I loved digital watches when they first came out. This Apple Watch is the same kind of thing - except that it actually has extensive real-world uses for convenience. Much like having a mobile phone with pinch-to-zoom, a software keyboard, access to the full Internet, and extensive third-party and accessory support.
I was deluded by the hype around Android ICS and went for the first one available. Two weeks later I dumped the security-free, update-free, quality-free, Android freeware and got the iPhone 5. Considering that some spend INXS of $400 a weekend on partying and alcohol, I'm really not sure what the price-angst is actually about.
Especially when compared with the hideous, glitchy, ugly and under-powered, under-engineered junk competitors are offering as 'smart' watches.
Too bad a bunch of people are blinded by emotionality when looking at products that advance the state of the art rather than the products that are dumpted on the market with no resale value, no functionality beyond a PDA from 2002, and no design aesthetic at all.
As soon as LG or Sony releases a smartwatch that has a five-year lifespan, good resale value after that five years, and is supported by both third-party developers and regular updates, I will change my mind.
I think this is the best device apple as ever created works so good does what I want it to do I am not an apple fan boy I live in the uk but Apple tech just works so much better than android/windows

Can one simply ask Siri to start the [X] (say, Uber) app?If starting apps was totally non-fiddly, I could see a lot more niftiness.

Siri on Phone and Pad supports that functionality, but it definitely seems to be a slimmed down version of Siri.

10 things you can buy instead of a 349$ Apple WarchA high end phone from China and some change
An ipad mini gen 2 and again some change
Up to 4×22 inch IPS monitors
A 39 inch 4k Seiki TV and have 10$ left.
A decent laptop.
10 or more Chromecast.
12 TB of HDDs
Over a tonne of steel
11 Firefox OS smartphones
An Xbox One
So they can try again when they divide the price by 3 to be at only 2x the price of where competing products will settle.

A smartwatch vs a dumbphone is just a stronger shell, more sensors ,no cams and lesser battery and dumbphones go to even 10$, smartphones close to 30$.
Apple used to have high margins ,not stupid high margins. Now they are doing stupid high margins. This product would have sucked even at the right price though but at least the competition is poor too.
This watch is priced like Samsung 4k TVs were 2 years ago at 5k$, it's idiotic and something Apple knew not to do.

Kindle still sells their eInk reader to a few devotees, but the mass market [and that includes me] would far rather read using a Kindle app on their retina iPad Air's, with super fast UI interaction and animation, and put up with once a day charging, than accept the limitations of eInk and once a month charging...

For that matter, I hardly ever even see people watching movies on an iPad anymore, it is mostly on a phablet.

The most expensive eInk Kindle on the market, the Kindle Voyage, is still backordered, months after it launched. I think the eInk devices are doing just fine...melgross - Tuesday, March 17, 2015 - link
Actually, they're not. Pebbles are simplistic devices, not even as capable as Android wear. That's why Pebble is coming out with a more sophisticated watch with a completely new OS that obsoletes the current one, though the watch still won't have touch, or a high quality screen.Morawka - Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - link
the 1st gen of anything is always high. 1st gen macbook air was expensive as hell, 1st gen iphone as well. 1st gen ipad.they need to pay for all the initial R&D.
They will eventually get a it down to $199 but it will be a year from now
SirPerro - Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - link
The problem is they cannot afford having a yearly iteration. So 1st gen will last quite long.I guess the guy spending 10K in an apple watch would be QUITE pissed off if it gets obsolete the next year.

Why not mention 300+ cheeseburgers and a soda?This is a first ten product and will have a lot more things worked out in a gen 2 or 3. It's Apple the product is going to be on the high end. I'm sure they could start a $100 less. We'll see. I don't think there is enough there for me.

You are sad its a watch witch keeps you informed great stuff from apple from the ukblanarahul - Monday, March 9, 2015 - link
It's a watch first. So in MY OPINION:a) It should not need any form of input, apart from the connection with your phone.
b) It should have e-ink or equivalent light reflecting based display tech.
c) Color display is a secondary concern.
d) Battery life should be 1 day/24 hours of HEAVY use.
d) It's a damn watch. I am not going to pay more than 150$ for it.
solipsism - Monday, March 9, 2015 - link
1) As soon as you knew it didn't have an eInk display you should have ignored the product because it's not for you.2) I'm curious how long you go before you decide that wearable CE shouldn't only have an eInk display and be B/W.
PeterMorgan573 - Monday, March 9, 2015 - link
I think blanarahul isn't OT. Apple often creates market expectations, so it's reasonable to ask what they could have done differently, particularly if the question is whether Apple has got the complete design so perfect on their first iteration that Samsung etc. are going to be blown away. I don't think they have (though it looks to be a pretty good tactile-visual design); the corollary would seem to be that the early winners of the e-watch market may be more likely to be experimenters than beautiful design. Samsung, the company perhaps of most concern to Apple, have sometimes done that kind of experimentation pretty well.A watch following blanarahul's suggestions, with only, say, an acknowledge button (or perhaps at most three buttons), an e-ink display with no touch screen, with control of timers, features, etc., through the phone, and with three days to a week between charge for typical or low usage, would be a different market segment. Temperature, heart rate, accelerometers, and whatever other sensors perhaps should be there but they do not necessarily have to be full time, they can be controlled and activated by the phone to which the watch is connected. The Apple LightWatch, CloudWatch, AirWatch, WindyWatch, IndyWatch, or whatever, can be as distinct from the AppleWatch as the MacBook Air is from the Pro.

This is not a watch. It's a wearable computer, sitting on your wrist, that also can display a watch face. Just like your desktop personal computer does.The iPhone is again, not a phone. It's an pocketable personal computer, that also can make phone calls.

You might not pay more than $150 for a watch, but the contents of my watch box begs to differ. My (entry level) Swiss automatic watches run $500-900, and my two quartz watches sell for $200-300.Even if you go to Macy's, which by most standards is not a purveyor of high end timepieces, has a fairly small selection under $100.
Most people I know who wear a watch regularly will wear something more than a $20 Timex (despite the Timex having the exact same functionality). I do it because I like automatic watches. I know people who do it because they like the brand and status - the Apple Watch will fit right in with that crowd... maybe.
I know a guy who wears a $5k Vacheron Constantin Quartz. Maybe he'll pick up one of these.

Exactly.If you want a good watch, with a good machined steel or aluminum body (not crappy die-cast with chrome on top), antiscratch glass, and good interanals you end up paying more than an Apple Watch Sport. $500 onwards.
$100 watch? Sorry but no. Better save that money for a good watch next time.

d) Battery life should be 1 day/24 hours of HEAVY use.according to Apple: http://apple.com/watch/battery.html
You get 1 day, that's it, if you sleep 6 hours a day.
And what you do on that day?
You fiddle with the watch for 45 minutes
You exercise for half an hour while listening to music
You receive 90 notification on your watch (that's 5 every hour)
You check the time 90 times (that's every 12 minutes)
That's a LOT of activity for me. That's seriously a lot on a such small device (size like the original plastic pebble) on pre-production software.
That's one of the reasons I like Apple: they don't lie to costumers and tell a pretty story, they are honest.
I check every Android Wear manufacturer's site: Sony, LG, Samsung, Motorola, and they all say "X" days, but not on which conditions... and then... there are the fanboys... claiming ridiculous battery lifes of not using the device at all.
Plus, you mostly won't have a dead device on your wrist. When the charge is low, the AWatch automatically switches to a mode where it only works as a watch and you're back to pre-Apple Watch times. That mode lasts for 3 complete days with just the rest of the battery...

OK, how about a question that ISN'T bitching about the price and/or mere existence of the device?How does the display "work"? What I mean is: presumably the screen is not always on. So what's triggering it, and how well does it work? Is it triggered merely by movement? (Which would imply it's always on when you're exercising.) Is it triggered by shaking ala Pebble? Is it triggered by the orientation of your wrist somehow? (Not sure how well this would work as a UI, or how the sensors for it would work.)
Second question: an obvious functionality for devices like this is authentication. Apple has mentioned nothing about this, which suggests that they don't have it ready yet. (And presumably even when they do, like TouchID, it'll go through a one-year period of Apple-only use while they try to find the failure modes and insecurities.) Is there any indication on the watch (somewhere in that constellation of god-knows-how-many apps on the screen) of this forthcoming functionality.
This gets into the bitching about price and functionality. OK --- are you lot STILL going to whine about how it's too much money for too little functionality if it means you never have to type a damn password again (at least on Apple devices)?
Glaurung - Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - link
"How does the display 'work'?"Supposedly it's smart enough to know when you've lifted your wrist and extended your arm in the way that you do when you're looking at your watch, and turns the screen on when you have done so.
serendip - Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - link
The Pebble display is always on, what shaking triggers is the backlight. I don't think I can get used to the Apple Watch showing just a blank screen until you shake your wrist. A watch is always supposed to be on all the time.homebredcorgi - Monday, March 9, 2015 - link
Please fire the moron(s) who came up with that naming scheme:Apple Watch Sport
Apple Watch
Apple Watch Edition
It is confusing and shows no consistency between the three. Then, as if in some diabolical plot to make it even more difficult to describe the different product lines, they steal the most obvious word in the English language to differentiate what "version" of the watch you have and use it in the actual product name for one and only one of the watches.
Case in-point from the article: "Having a chance to try the Sport edition...." But not the Edition edition? Or the non-Sport, non-Edition editions?
mkozakewich - Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - link
A book is edited (changed), and so it has editions. A different model of a product is a model, not an edition. It's neither the only nor the most obvious word to use.I'm thinking Apple is really going to push the steel watch, and "poor" people will be shamed into saying, "I've got Apple Watch... Sport..."

I respect Apple for trying this but it won't catch on. There really is no use for it for most people. And the lack of a dedicated processor and short battery life will be the final stake in the heart.Perhaps at some point in the future when this can REPLACE the smart phone but not yet. The technology isn't there. And by replace I mean for those times when you don't need the larger screen of the smart phone but just the phone and the small watch display will do.

Everybody said the iPhone would be a huge flop because it didn't have a keyboard. And then they said the iPad would be a huge flop because its just a giant iPhone. We all know how those worked out.Apple has this way of creating markets that did not exist before hand.
futbalguy - Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - link
I'm a huge Apple fan and they do a great job of finding new markets but I think this product is different. At least for this first version, I dont see what the product really enables or makes more convenient.The iPhone didn't have a keyboard, but if you were to ask people at the time if they wanted to use the internet from anywhere, the answer would have been a resounding YES. That is really what the iPhone enabled and the iPad did as well.
The watch screen size will always be too small to really use the internet so it needs to offer something else. The health functionality could be the big play but I don't see enough features to get excited about in these models.
sonicmerlin - Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - link

One of the Job's Mob bought a useless iWatch...Well, actually, I'm not a member of any 'Mob'. I loved digital watches when they first came out. This Apple Watch is the same kind of thing - except that it actually has extensive real-world uses for convenience. Much like having a mobile phone with pinch-to-zoom, a software keyboard, access to the full Internet, and extensive third-party and accessory support.
I was deluded by the hype around Android ICS and went for the first one available. Two weeks later I dumped the security-free, update-free, quality-free, Android freeware and got the iPhone 5. Considering that some spend INXS of $400 a weekend on partying and alcohol, I'm really not sure what the price-angst is actually about.
Especially when compared with the hideous, glitchy, ugly and under-powered, under-engineered junk competitors are offering as 'smart' watches.
Too bad a bunch of people are blinded by emotionality when looking at products that advance the state of the art rather than the products that are dumpted on the market with no resale value, no functionality beyond a PDA from 2002, and no design aesthetic at all.
As soon as LG or Sony releases a smartwatch that has a five-year lifespan, good resale value after that five years, and is supported by both third-party developers and regular updates, I will change my mind.
