Good morning Apple Watch fans – or maybe not – I’m not even sure if the Apple Watch is something that I can get in to.
I’m a watch guy, I like them. But I’m not normally the type of guy that lives on the cutting edge of technology by waiting in line for the new release of the newest device. I’m happy with my Late-2010 MacBook Air that I’m typing on right now đ

The Apple Watch is easily the best-selling smartwatch ever…but thatâs not saying a lot. The question that Apple and all smartwatch manufacturers have had to answer when trying to push their devices to people is, âIs this thing actually useful?â From the start, many people said that the Apple Watch would survive based on the 3rd party Apps that we have all come to know and love.
The New York Times points out that 15 of the 20 most popular iPhone apps have not made Apple Watch versions of their software yet, a list that includes Facebook. In fact Adam Mosseri, who oversees Facebookâs news feed, tells the Times that while Facebook has been taking a look at the Apple Watch, it still hasnât found a compelling way to make its mobile app work on a wrist-based computer.
âI donât know if we could get it all in there in a way that feels good and works well,â he said. âYouâd just want to get your phone out at that point.â
The Times also quotes Snapchatâs Evan Spiegel as saying he didnât see a compelling use for Snapchat on the Apple Watch simply because its display was too tiny to be appealing. Even companies that have made apps for the Apple Watch seem a lot more unsure of how to make apps that people will find compelling and useful â as The Weather Channelâs Chris Huff tells the publication, âWeâre still figuring out how users want to use an app on their wrist.â
So while the demand for repairs hasn’t been overwhelming at this point, we are coming online with our service set shortly here at Mission Repair. I’m personally not a huge Apple Watch fan especially due to the price; and with some of the high end models that reach above the $10,000 mark…I still think that a timeless Rolex or Breitling would ultimately carry more value even if they don’t come with the Angry Birds App.
Thoughts? Have a great day, Ryan
