And that’s what the Watch is truly all about really: Convenience. It’s not a must. Not yet at least. But it’s great to have. And if you use just a couple of its most lauded features, it becomes something that you almost rely on. It might be crazy to even care about this, but right now I have no data on how many calories I burned yesterday or how many steps I’ve actually taken. I’m not being encouraged to move around, and I have no activity circles to fill in. Sure, some of that can be recorded on the iPhone, but it won’t be as accurate, and it requires that I have my phone in my hand or pocket at all times.
I get home, dock my iPhone in the bedroom and go outside to read, grab a beer or sit on the couch. The watch is the only computer with me and if something is important, I still go to my iMac but I could probably get by with just my computer and have the watch only if I was certain it was always connected to the Internet. I don’t take photos with my iPhone or write emails or text on it. The watch does it all.
