I am tempted to get a different metal to clash horribly with the black aluminium just because I know it will annoy certain people. I personally liked the two-tone look of the Classic Buckle leather band with the black stainless steel from my try-on.</p> <p>So far, I've spent the afternoon since it arrived just playing with the different features to see how it all works. I had a brief hands-on at the Apple Store, but that doesn't give you the full experience.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='?itok=8Lmmnp-u' />[/url]</p> <p>I did the heartbeat thing with Myke Hurley, as pictured, and we tried wrist-calling each other like ten-year-old spies, and that worked fine too. It's a lot smoother than I expected based on some of the earlier reviews; the interface is very fluid. The lengthiest task was the initial setup itself. It does take a while to boot up as well, but once it's up and running it's fine.</p> <p>I had hoped to include a picture of pre-release PCalc running on the watch at this point, but it is quite the amusing tale. I decided way back to wait until I had a watch of my own and could get a good feel for how things worked, before I would ship any watch version of PCalc. (It wasn't entirely clear if a Casio style watch calculator would even be useful.) Anyway, I worked on a prototype over the last month, and thought I'd just put it on the watch to see how it worked. Turns out, not only do watches count against the 100 test devices you are allowed per year as an Apple developer — I had already maxed out my allocation, and theoretically I can't reset that list until mid-August. So I can't do any development at all with it right now! My, how I laughed when I found that out! Smile But hopefully developer relations will let me reset my list sooner rather than later.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_serenity.png' />[/url]<strong>Ren</strong>: Stillllll waiting.

It's a very beautiful thing to look at, both from a software and hardware perspective (I have the 42mm Sport, with the Blue band). The screen is great, and overall I really like the look of the UI.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='?itok=byUbyuoD' />[/url]</p> <p>But what is difficult for me as I am using it today is trying to understand the differences between the Watch and the iPhone. Right now, as I'm downloading apps and poking around at things, I think that I am treating it very much like an iPhone. I am pushing the Watch and interacting with it when really the Watch is intended to push me.</p> <p>I am using the Apple Watch very actively right now, when it's really more of a passive device. It comes to me with information that I should act on, rather than me trying to completely replace my iPhone by making it my primary communication mechanism.</p> <p>I am not feeling down about the Watch. Not in the slightest. I just know that I need to learn to spend more time living with it, to form a more true opinion. I think this is something we will all need to do. I believe that things will start to change as developers get their hands on this device. It will enable them to possibly rethink the way that their apps work, to truly take advantage of what this device should be used for.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_serenity.png' />[/url]<strong>Ren</strong>: I'm kinda lonely chatting here by myself right now, so I asked Relay.fm's Myke Hurley to stop by and give us his initial thoughts about the Apple Watch. Myke, as you might have guessed from the above tweets, has a watch, because he's in Europe and thus more special than the rest of us.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><p>I just sent @jamesthomson my heartbeat</p>— Myke Hurley (@imyke) April 24, 2015 <script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_serenity.png' />[/url]<strong>Ren</strong>: Loks like our European friends are starting to get their watches.

Rene has an Apple Watch, the lucky devil!

We've got nothing better to do right now, and it's kind of Christmas morning...</p> <p>So what watch are you waiting for? I think I mentioned elsewhere on the site, but I pre-ordered the 38mm Apple Watch Sport with White Sport Band, along with a Milanese Loop. After trying on many more watches at the Apple Store, I'm pretty confident in my purchase. Though that Midnight Blue Modern Buckle is also pretty fabulous...</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_ally.png' />[/url]<strong>Ally</strong>: I went with the 38mm Sport in silver with a white band. I also ordered a Milanese band separately. And no, I don't think it looks bad.

I'd love to pick up a Milanese band at some point — when I tried one on in the store, I couldn't get over how good it felt on the wrist. But sadly, mine isn't coming until June.

I'm partial to Astronomy, which lets you preview the rotation of the Earth, moon, and stars by spinning the Digital Crown. Such a fun way to fidget.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_peter.png' />[/url]<strong>Peter</strong>: Mickey Mouse.

I think I'll have to play with all of them for a bit before I decide which one suits me best. But I can tell you already that I don't think I'll find Mickey to be very informative.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_serenity.png' />[/url]<strong>Ren</strong>: What are you most excited about for the Watch? For me, it's a three-way tie for me between notifications, exercise and activity options, and Apple Pay on my wrist. I'm looking forward to seeing how I can dampen down my daily stream of useless notifications and focus on only those that are useful to me, and I'm also hoping there's some sort of tap customization there — harder taps for unignorable people like VIPs, for instance. And I've already talked at length about my excitement for using the Apple Watch while playing and coaching derby.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_peter.png' />[/url]<strong>Peter</strong>: Activity and exercise is the main reason I'm interested in the Apple Watch on day one, to be frank. But the thing that excites me the most is not what the Apple Watch will do straight out of the box: It's what's to come.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_ally.png' />[/url]<strong>Ally</strong>: I've never been a big watch person but if the Apple Watch can help me be more healthy, I'm all for it. I have been wearing fitness trackers rather consistently for over a year and have lost over 40 pounds. If it can keep me on this same track plus do more without being just another distraction, I'll be happy with my purchase.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_serenity.png' />[/url]<strong>Ren</strong>: What are you least excited about?

I'm kind of hoping that Apple's caught up with demand by the time I get mine, though I'm sure there's still going to be some novelty there for a while, just as there was with the iPhone 6.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_serenity.png' />[/url]<strong>Ren</strong>: Any third-party app you're most excited to try? I think Twitterrific's new Watch app looks awesome, as does Yelp's and ETA's. I'm just pumped in general for the onslaught of applications and what they'll do for my day-to-day. Like the iPhone, I'm sure there will be a lot of out-of-the-gate duds, but also some apps that could possibly reinvent some of my workflows — and that prospect is genuinely thrilling.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_peter.png' />[/url]<strong>Peter</strong>: Twitterrific will be great, I'm sure. I'm really looking forward to Clear for the Apple Watch too — Realmac's to do list manager. I'm curious to see how the Starwood hotels app will work for unlocking rooms and such. Beyond that, I'm taking a bit of a wait and see approach, because I have to figure out what's going to work best for me.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_ally.png' />[/url]<strong>Ally</strong>: I'm excited for hotels and boarding passes, even though I'm not convinced these tiny boarding passes actually work. I've tried with larger versions on my iPhone and they grunt and complain.

I'm probably going to get an Apple Watch charging stand at some point, because I know otherwise I'm going to just lose my cable under a cabinet somewhere, but otherwise Dodocase's stands look like they're going to be something special, and I'm curious to try them out.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_peter.png' />[/url]<strong>Peter</strong>: I'll probably pick up a spare charging cable at the very least. As far as stands go, I'm a fan of how Twelve South's HiRise for Apple Watch looks and would like to get my hands on one.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><a href='http://www.imore.com/follow-our-apple-watch-launch-liveblog' title="Follow our Apple Watch launch liveblog!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2015/02/bubblehead_ally.png' />[/url]<strong>Ally</strong>: I have my eye on the same stand Peter does.
