Re: Apple Watch 3
#2A few more iterations of the Apple Watch and we might be in a position to ditch smartphones entirely.
Instead of tablets being the ugly middle child, maybe they will become the new smartphones, with people favouring the large screen for intense work, and using the Watch for messaging and music.

#3I have thought about buying an Apple Watch multiple times. But, then, I see comments from a lot of Apple Watch users who say that they completely stop using it after few months. For many of them, the utility is not strong enough. Have things improved in that regard? What do you Apple Watch users think about it now?

I'm in the same boat.
I want one... but I just can't bring myself to get one because of what people I know have said.

#5Underwater + cellular is pretty impressive. The extra sensors + medical algos are what is really going to win in the long run though. Once doctors start prescribing Apple Watches things will really start to takeoff.

#6Seems like the lack of SIM also means no choice of carrier - the slide only showed 9 or 10 carriers in just a handful of countries where that will work.

It's a nice to have for me. But with cellular that completely changes. Now my phone will be the optional unit, and my watch a must.

Particularly if NLP (and AI assistants) finally start to work well. There is very little one does on phone that could not be performed with voice.

#9I think this product has the potential to reduce the distracting habits that we have with our phones while we're out and about while still keeping us connected.
You can finally leave your phone at home in more scenarios.

I had never considered an Apple Watch. I believed it to be too costly for what it offered. The selling point today was their heart study with Stanford and that the watch will detect irregular heartbeats. I'm genetically predisposed to atrial fibrillation [1] (TL;DR Abnormal heart rhythm), and having a watch that can alert me that my heart rhythm is deviating from a normal rhythm is cheap insurance against a poor cardiac outcome.
For me, its medical telemetry first, and a phone second.
