Brad: I want to focus on one phrase in your email: "Unless you take the watch off for some reason."
How literally do I take that? Do you sleep with it on? Shower? I cannot see myself playing piano with a watch on. It never worked in the past, and I can't imagine I'd be comfortable wearing a watch while playing Beethoven today. My reason is that I would bump into the watch in those passages that called for cross hand motion, i.e. the raght hand coming across the left for some musical phrase. So, were I to get one, it would come on and off my hand quite regularly. How would that work? Would I need to authenticate again and again? If it matters I can say that my iphone will never be far away--very much in bluetooth range.
