The news on Apple Watch ordering day when I rose at 6:30 US/Eastern was that the first production run had sold out — which I expected. Unexpected was that I found one (and only one!) style available for first wave delivery. The watch arrived April 24 (Friday) via UPS as promised.
How often do you look at your iPhone? As reported by The Daily Mail in 2004, Marketing agency Tecmark found the average user reaches for their smartphone an eye-popping 1,500 times per week! Other studies have reported similar statistics — the Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers 2013 Internet Trends Report found a similar statistic — smartphone users may use their phones 150 times per day!
I received an Apple Watch on Friday (38mm Stainless w/Black Leather band, in case you’re curious). I was just taking stock of how the product is working out for me, and thought I’d share some initial impressions.
