Can it be used as a vibrator then? One has to love that PR/BS speak.
Anyway I finally saw one live yesterday. Well, dead more like it. A guy on a plane had it, but it was off all the time. I only saw he had a Milanese loop attached to it. I think if Apple managed at all to have a watch face on all the time it would look nicer. Still not a fan of a rectangular shape though.

If it was on a plane the Watch was probably in Flight Mode.
I've seen a couple live whilst in Manchester and London, they're not all the rage in Whitehall though .
I think that it's a bit like the original iPad and iPhone, good products and the beginning of a revolution but not quite mass market yet. That being said the uptake from the developers is making it a better and better offer every day.

Can you create native apps now or is it still just the generic notification app?
Wish they would fix the custom notifications settings. I'm still not getting email or text notifications.
There's nothing to fix. It works well for most people.
The problem is usually that people mess about with the default settings. The Watch will provide the same notifications as your iPhone. If you don't normally get a notification on your iPhone when an email arrives for example, you won't get one on the Watch.

But the custom settings don't work. They only work if you select mirror my iPhone. And even then they don't deliver consistently.
New headlines are stating that US sales have dropped 90% or that the research data showing a 90% drop is too flawed to be any use.
Yet this forum does reflect most of it, in that those here who wanted one bought theirs a good while back.
Percentages, not totals also reflect what happens too with Android watches.
Was reading a magazine today which had an article about digital / smart watches included photos side by side of an early Pulsar alongside an Apple watch. Guess which one *looked* smarter?
Don't Apple sales of everything traditionally drop off over the Summer, and then pick up again in the Autumn/Xmas period? Apple Watches are expensive. I would have thought they might do better as Christmas presents.
Amusing, but I'd be more interested to know why, and how commoon this perception is of the watch.
My boss has one (the only one I've seen) but it seems everytime it notifies her of something it is at the wrong time and/or something not useful.
My first sighting of them in the wild last night. At a local gym. A couple were using it to help their workout. And unless they had a separate bluetooth HR belt, it wasn't going to measure much of what they were doing (weights) ....
Surprised I haven't seen any at work, as work happens to be one of the mobile telcos.

I'm still using mine daily and loving it.

I guess so, but he must have switched it off before he got on a plane. And I did not want to bother him.

They released the SDK for native apps at WWDC as far as I know.
The Watch OS update which will support native 3rd party apps fully is due in the autumn sometime. Developers already have been playing with the SDK. eg. this guy for the novelty value ported (well using a very sluggish emulator) Mac OS 7 across to the watch.

An interesting non move from Apple.
They are available in Apple Stores and have been for some weeks now...
They are indeed. I saw someone purchase one in the apple store in Manchester on Saturday.
