Apple Watch convenience is a 'superpower'
Those who use the Apple Watch every day and can't imagine going back to a time without it typically fall into one of three camps: those who value the convenience, those that value the health motivation, and both. Benedict Evans sums up the convenience angle well on ben-evans.com:
Convenience was my killer feature for Apple Watch—and, turns out, my family's—and a benefit Liz Plosser discovered as well.
(For more on the health angle, check out Serenity Caldwell, Jim Dalrymple, and Peter Cohen.)
Ben also offers some great insight into why the Watch is proving so challenging for the tech and financial press alike, and how that's really not so different that then first months of iPod or iPhone.
Meanwhile, in our recently completed Apple Watch usage survey, iMore learned the following:
- 93% of respondents wore their Apple Watch 5 days a week or more, and 95% wore it for 8 hours a day or more.
That's a lot of super-powered potential.
