See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna
My 42mm Space Grey Apple Watch Sport.If you follow me you may know that I had recently gotten a Pebble. It was my intention to use the Pebble as a low cost test to see if a “smart watch” was really “the next big thing” and hold me over until the Apple Watch matured for a version or two…My Pebble had the unintended affect of making me more interested in the Apple Watch. With the Pebble it was super handy to be able to glance at new messages and notifications on my wrist and if anything was worth my full attention I could pull out my iPhone. Though limited the fitness tracking feature is cool and being able to control my music is also handy, but that’s about the limit of Pebble to iPhone interaction due to limited 3rd party app support or integration with iOS… I was suddenly able to see the appeal of having a smart watch with tighter integration with my iPhone, being able to control and interact with my iPhone while it’s in my pocket.A few weekends ago I wandered into an Apple Store at the local mall. when an employee saw me looking at the watches he offered to let me try one on. I was sold almost the moment I put on the demo watch… The feel of the build quality, the sharp color screen, and the haptic feedback were all immediately impressive. I was shocked that I liked the larger 42mm version best, I’ve always preferred smaller watches.And finally the WWDC keynote watchOS 2 preview showed some great enhancements coming to the watch software.So last Weds (the 17th) when I learned that Apple retail stores had gotten their first watch shipments, I checked online to see if the local store had the watch I wanted in stock (they did). I reserved one for pickup after work that day (online store shipments were still estimated at 1 to 2 weeks).5 days since becoming an Apple Watch owner I can report that I very much enjoy it, it’s going to be fun being an early adopter and getting to see how the OS and apps improve, the same way I did with the original iPod and iPod Touch.The Pebble has found a good home with my friend who still isn’t sold on the Apple Watch (yet).
