Hey Scott, Not Wayne, but I'll weigh in on the Apple Watch. I absolutely love it! It is a first-gen product, so still has some quirks, but I have found it very useful. It is slower to navigate than the iPhone, because you have to do more swiping or turning to get through all the information. But that said, I love being able to get notifications on my wrist. I love being able to answer calls and respond to texts. that may be kind of a girl thing, but my phone is very rarely on my person. It's either in my purse, on a table in the next room, etc. So being able to just do that stuff from the watch is really handy. You also don't have to worry about not hearing your phone when you get a text or a call. I also use it to time and track info when I work out, which has been really helpful.. Obviously the speaker on the watch is pretty small, but I don't have difficulty hearing it in most environments. I think Apple's done a really good job of pumping a lot of volume out of the thing.
