Sleep monitoring to wake me up with a slight, easy buzz on my wrist sensing when I'm in the lightest phase of sleep. Heartbeat sensing and accelerometer will just do for the job but wait, I can't because I have to take it off at night to charge since wireless charging never came true and I probably couldn't go to sleep with a bulky watch on my wrist.

I so wanted this thing to be about sensors and improving life and being very lightweight without a screen but noooo, it had to be about notifications. I don't want to look at photos or twitter on my wrist.

Easy.

Buy two Watch's ;)

>$700 may be easy to you but I'm sure most of us would consider it a little tough. :eek:

As a side note I wonder if 2 aWatches can be paired to the same iPhone for one person. If so will the health / fitness data be combined into 1 Health Kit account?

Just spitballing, but:
  • Remote for Plex (similar to AppleTV remote)
  • SmartGlass companion
  • StrongLifts 5x5 companion (timer, reps, weight info, etc)
  • Fitocracy companion (same shiz as above)
  • MyFitnessPal companion (reminders? calorie info from heart rate? pedometer info?)
  • Spotify companion (maybe this was already announced or works with the current Music-controller watch app)
