It has to invite you to touch it and take it with you all the time. So I’m putting my phone in my pocket and this Watch on my wrist, and we’re taking this trip together.Īs an object, it makes sense that the Watch is not nearly as cold and minimal as Apple’s recent phones and tablets and laptops. The only real question a smartwatch like the Apple Watch needs to answer is “why would I use this instead of my phone?” The answers so far haven’t been apparent the Watch seems like it can do a little bit of everything instead of one thing really well.

These mornings have been full of self-reflection, moody contemplation as I gather my screens of all sizes and pack them in a bag, work alerts flashing across an array of devices that are all less important than my phone. I’m putting my phone in my pocket and this Watch on my wrist, and we’re taking this trip together. But if I keep pulling out my phone, I’ll never use the Watch. If the Watch is slow, I’m going to pull out my phone. Committing to technology that’s a little slow to respond to you is dicey at best, especially when it’s supposed to step in for your phone.
Wearing a smartwatch like the Apple Watch is a far deeper commitment than carrying a smartphone in your pocket you are literally putting the technology on your body and allowing it to touch and measure you while you display it to the rest of the world.
Apple tells me that upcoming software updates will address these performance issues, but for right now, they’re there, and they’re what I’ve been thinking about every morning as I get ready for work.
