8 Things I learned Wearing the Apple Watch

8 Things I learned Wearing the Apple Watch

June 9, 2015

The Oatmeal:

Every now and then, I use a new gadget which gives me that eerie this is the future feeling, like the first time I drove a Tesla Model S, or the first time I watched leprechaun porn on an Oculus Rift. Those moments do happen with an Apple Watch, but they’re sparse. Once more apps roll out, that’ll probably change. Uber is already there: calling a car involved raising my wrist, tapping the “Get me a car” button, and five minutes later an Uber showed up at my doorstep. This is the future, I thought. Finally, microchips on my mammalian carapace. I can talk into my arm. I can tweet from my meat. It’s a thrill-ride trying wearables for the first time. I’m wearing robots. Let’s Instagram some of my nipples. Apple was right. It is personal. It’s Robocop’s Robo-Cock, and this is Detroit, motherfuckers.

Great read as always by The Oatmeal and I wholeheartedly agree, especially after seeing watchOS 2 at WWDC. Apple is clearly not resting on their laurels and seeing them bring complications to the Apple Watch suggests to me that they really are listening and are moving fast on making this an important product. Of course, I would have loved to see third-party Watch faces, but my guess is they’re saving something that big for watchOS 3. After all, Apple does love to keep us waiting sometimes, don’t they?
