So parents are buying their spoiled teenagers an Apple Watch.  How nice.  They lose their phones and break them constantly, so I wonder if this is even true.  I have never seen a teenager wear an Apple Watch, and I have only seen a handful of people wearing one around Los Angeles...and it has been a year since the thing got released.  Best part is the small amount of people wearing an Apple Watch are using their iPhone instead!  Their biggest complaint is how slow it is.  Take a look around, no one wears a smart watch because people are smart enough to realize they do not need a device duplicated by a phone.

I work at a high end resort in Vegas and see people wearing them everyday. Many are professionals. In fact it was my doctor who swayed me to buy this first generation Apple Watch. When he told me he uses it from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed, well that intrigued me. Now, I can honestly say the same thing. I use mine intensively.  From receiving and replying to texts and emails, to making and answering quick phone calls. The "touch" navigation when I am getting directions (walking and driving) is highly convenient. Apple Pay is FANTASTIC on the watch too, so much so I try to avoid anyplace that does not accept Apple Pay because it is that convenient! (Fortunately I shop at ALBERTSONS, Walgreens, Chevron, Firehouse subs, Subway) went to tmobile arena opening night and was pleased they took it there at the concession stands. Also, it just isn't guests wearing them. A few of the people I work with have and love using their Apple watches as well. I knew I would like the watch before I bought it, but after the first two weeks of wearing it, I realized I LOVED it! My wife after seeing me use mine constantly wanted one for Christmas and she LOVES using it as well (probably more than me).  I found I leave my iPhone in my bag all day (use watch for music, showing off the kids pictures, etc.) the only time I use my iPhone now is for the camera and reading.  If you are not seeing them in L.A. I would say get out more or just realize people are very discreet with them.
