Six Colors:
The Apple Watch’s app model doesn’t work. The large screen of circular app icons is hard to navigate, and most apps aren’t worth the trouble, often because they’re slow and unreliable. Glances are interesting, but often too limited. The sole button is dedicated to a feature—bringing up a wheel of friends so you can send them texts and Digital Touch sketches—that’s not remotely core to the experience of using the device. There aren’t enough watch face options, and the ones that do exist aren’t particularly customizable. Fitness features are erratic and require too much user interaction.
And:
I’d like to see at least an option to map the watch’s button to an action other than bringing up a list of favorite friends. More watch faces are also on my wish list, and while I’d like to see third-party watch faces, I’d trade that for Apple-designed faces that are more flexible about how (and when) they display information, including support for complications that appear only in certain contexts.
Third party watch faces would be a big win. Or how about the ability to resize the various areas that make up the watch face?
The biggest problem with the Apple Watch is that it’s sloooooow. The second biggest problem is that it’s sloooooooooooooooow. There’s only so much software can do to fix those problems without a commensurate hardware update, but there are improvements that can be made so that we spend less time waiting for our Apple Watch.
And that’s the biggest problem of all. Snappy is as snappy does.
Are we still thinking September for a hardware launch? Haven’t seen to much on that as of late.
Agree that how the buttons invoke the Watch interface need a revamp (after a year, I’m still fumbling with it). A rich variety of watch faces was my highest expectation for Watch and my biggest disappointment. #Inexplicable
Another great article from the team at Six Colors as usual.
I agree. The biggest problems they need to address are speed, lack of great watch faces with complications, and buttons (both favorite and awful circular honeycomb apps screen).
And obviously, it needs at least a handful of tentpole worthy brand new features.
The Apple Watch was like the original MacBook Air launch. Cool trajectory, ahead of it’s time, & underpowered. I bought one but don’t use it as much as I thought, however I think we will look back in 2-3 years and wonder why everyone doesn’t own one.
P.S. My big wish this time around is for a sexy Macbook Pro upgrade.
