    Seems to help give us more features without needing facny advanced confusing gestures.

    They already said that screen is too small for pinching to zoom.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,766 ✭✭✭lertsnim


    Ugh, it plays coldplay.

    You can rotate and navigate a "map" of apps, yet you need to use the crown to scroll up and down on changing features.

    Emojis? I'm out... will catch the dealio on Engadget later.

    Not wowed tbh!

    Glances are the only thing that look good so far, home/app screen looks awful.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 770 ✭✭✭ComputerKing


    Quick reply looks good if it works well in day to day use which hopefully it will. Animated emoji look OK a bit of a gimmick.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,780 ✭✭✭Frank Lee Midere


    the whole thing looks incredibly well thought out. Although i would never use it for dictation


  • Registered Users Posts: 678 ✭✭✭Kagawa


    Going to the states in February next year, I wonder would the apple watch be available by then???

    Maybe you should watch the demo later.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 2,606 Mod ✭✭✭✭horgan_p


    think they might be trying to do too much on the watch.

    Should be my guess is it'll be released before Christmas. To get the Christmas market.

    When Kevin Lynch was changing features of the clock widgets, he used the crowd to change them - scroll up and down.
