#22It's funny how we went from using iPod Nano as a watch with a third party case, to using an Apple Watch as an iPod Nano with a third party case.

#23this kinda serves of a proof of concept for just how minimal we can get with a smartphone while retaining most of the "smart". I might even try this for a bit...
I dont think the average consumer wants this. They want a big screen, and flashy features, and a camera that makes ugly people beautiful.
Finally I am not the average consumer!
I think the parent comment's point is good -- if Apple are watching (pun not intended): you could make a truly tiny phone out of watchOS, please do it.

Yeah, the lack of a camera is a big reason why the Apple Watch isn't a great phone replacement.

#26This claims multi-day battery life, since wrist detection can be turned off. I’m curious to know how much of a difference this one change makes. I haven’t bought an AW because the battery life isn’t good enough for a “watch” in my book, but if it can get multiple days of life, and it’s more like a phone replacement, then I’d be more likely to give it a try.

#27I don’t get it. The Watch locks itself everytime it’s remove from the wrist and doesn’t stay unlocked if you unlock the screen when you’re not wearing it then let it go to standby. So… you would have to input a pin every single time you use this contraption? Seems quite annoying compared to, you know, wearing the watch.
cant that be disabled? I think it can be

i guess it's the same as phones, before biometric authentication? but in general yeah, the watch was not designed to be used like this and anyone who's used a watch should be able to predict how bad the UX is gonna be...

#29How does the scroll wheel work? Is it mechanical or it has some connection/interface with the software?
I feel it must be mechanical since it interfaces with crown?

#30I've always wanted to take an apple watch and use it like a flip phone! This is pretty fun! I've never wanted the distraction of an apple watch and I appreciate the ability to put this thing in a pocket.
