Everyone saying this is useless is crazy. Currently all Apple Watch models are at the mercy of two things in order to ensure functionality, the use of an iPhone to update and interact with the devices os in any meaningful way and the faith in Apples ability to design a significant method for resolving any software issues one may encounter with their watch in order to restore the firmware in the event of the devices failure to communicate with your phone in order to initiate the process. Until now any issue your watch encountered which resulted in the devices software from running meant you had to bring your watch to apple to fix and we all know what that usually turns into... "This complicated sounding string of words means you should just shell out another 300 bucks to upgrade your device or we have to charge you the same amount to fix this device for you even though its really fine and we're just a criminal enterprise".... Where there is power pinouts for the device to charge there are usually data transfer pinouts as well. So you can buy a floor model Apple Watch off ebay for 40 bucks and install a working watchOS firmware instead of being stuck in demo mode. Orr you can just fix software problems by updating your device with iTunes like an iPhone or iPad.
