I am honored to have been the first guest on the podcast of WatchAware, co-hosted by Abdel Ibrahim and Julia Mayhugh. In it, we discussed a wide variety of subjects, including how China is the most important market for Apple Watch, how Apple approaches its products in a more human way than other tech companies, and how we see great potential in the form factor of Apple Watch. I’m biased, of course, but I thought it was a stimulating discussion and I highly recommend you check it out. If you like this site, you will like the podcast.

Expanded show notes

There are notes with the show, but I wanted to expand on those notes a bit with some more links than are there:

• Chinese people on average spend 40 minutes a day using WeChat. The app WeChat has taken the country by storm–and apparently it’s taking the watch by storm as well.

•  Wristly.com found that 38% of users had never used the side contacts button & only 10% use it all the time. This is what I fear may limit future development of Apple Watch.

Recommended App: Due

In this section, I recommend an app that I think belongs on anyone’s iPhone or Apple Watch. Today’s is Due, the best reminder app out there & one that has a great app for the Watch. For years I used Apple’s Reminders, but I wish I had gotten Due sooner because it is so much more powerful and customizable.
