What is your favorite Apple Product...and why?
For those of us that love our Apple products, there has to be one in particular that we get the most enjoyment from on a daily basis. Would love to hear which one product most positively affects you.
For me?
Though I use my 13" Macbook Pro more than my 27" iMac seemingly almost every hour of the waking day, it's not the device that I am most proud of.
For me, it's the Apple Watch
Why? It provides so much instant information at the turn of the wrist.
Since it has a bluetooth connection, I can park my iPhone 6S Plus anywhere and roam around my workplace or home and receive the most important notifications from email alerts to text messages to breaking news stories.
If I want to ask Siri a question, set a timer or a reminder, I just turn my wrist and ask. I can read entire emails without opening up my phone. At a glance, I can check weather or stocks.
The watch can look formal or casual based on the interchangeable wristbands that are available. Milanese Loop or steel band for formal nights. Rubber sport band for casual/work wear.
Most of all, it's the one Apple product that gets the most notice. "Oh, that's an Apple Watch, isn't it?" is the question I get most often. For those times the phone rings and I can't get to my iPhone 6s Plus that is at the other end of the building, people get a good chuckle out of seeing me answer the call and talk to my watch like Dick Tracy would. It's not a tactic I often use, but sometimes it can't be helped. And the person calling me never knows that I am talking to him/her on my watch.
Though Samsung was first in bringing their Gear watches to the marketplace, I think they suck. I owned one. Thought it was quite cool at first. However, the day Apple announced their watch, I knew it was over for Samsung. Apple really made a more innovative device that Samsung has been unable to match (except in longer battery life).
Yeah, I know that most people don't think this is a "necessary" device that is "right for them." Probably why most of you think it's odd I picked the Apple Watch as my absolute favorite. However, different strokes for different folks.
I am looking forward to see what improvements are made to the Watch 2 this fall. My guess (based on rumors) is that the watch will be be able to be operated independently of the phone. So, no more bluetooth connection is needed.
