I really think Apple kind of dropped the ball on their watch. Samsung's line of Gears is way more beneficial to me. With the new ones having their own number and ways of connection you don't even have to have your phone anywhere near you for the watch to function. They have mics, cameras, apps, and all that jazz. I have been using the 1st generation Gear for a little over two years now and haven't had any problems; I love my watch. I can change the face style to any design, picture, color scheme I want so that when I'm dressed up for an event or something I can take five seconds and make the Gear match my tie or undershirt or anything else. When I'm out skiing I can change to be fluorescent orange with the weather conditions under the time and even control what music I'm listening to while I time my runs. All without having to dig through all my snow gear to access my phone. The Apple watch doesn't really seem to have any features that make it something that is really useful. I suppose that might be said about a lot of products Apple pushes out nowadays. They seem to be on a slow decline ever since Jobs passed.
