Maybe you were blown away by Apple’s announcements yesterday: iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch. Wait, what?
We were ready for the introduction of a wearable device. Some people were sure it was a watch. Some people thought it was the iWatch. It turned out to be the Apple Watch.
What do you think of it? Here’s what I think:
The utility of the Apple Watch comes down to user experience in third party apps. If existing iOS apps translate well to the Watch, I’m in.

The two sentences above are all that fits in a single tweet. The truth is that we don’t know a lot about how the Apple Watch is really going to work that can make it worth or not worth the price.
For instance, if I can use an Apple Watch in place of my iPhone with RunKeeper and listen to a playlist from my iTunes library on wireless headphones, that would be worth the cost of an Apple Watch to me.
