As the Apple Watch has released and quite a few people on here have said they are getting one, so what are people thinking about their new device they have.

I personally flew to Australia to pick mine up (delivered to an Aussie address) and have used it for the last few days.
After you work out how to get around all the options and button/screen presses its quite easy to use. Not used any other smart watch myself I found the experience quite good.

During the release a large number of applications where upgraded on the IPhone so they supported the Watch.
Airnz app, trip it, Skype,stocard, trip advisor to just name a few all seem to have a great UI just for the Watch.

The maps app was quite impressive. Set a location and it will vibrate differenct ways for left, right and straight ahead etc plus displaying maps/directions on the Watch. (Maybe a little unsafe looking at the watch whilst driving)

I get around a day of power I found (with quite an intensive usage) and didn't have to go into power saving mode at all.

Eating whilst wearing the watch - the screen comes on all the time as you are moving your wrist all the
Time up and down. Maybe they'll get this resolved somehow.

Siri - it's not supported if you choose NZ as your Siri location. Setting to AU worked fine. Just look at your watch, wait until it comes alive, say hey Siri and it listens to you.

Calling on the Watch - yes it a bit strange talking to your watch but it works, maybe it can be improved in the quality but people can hear you and vica versa.

And yes you need an iPhone 5 and above for it to connect to as that does most of the smarts ( not not all of them). You can play music straight from the watch to AirPlay/bt device plus a few other things without the phone.
