From what I understand, you can pair a BT headset directly to the
watch for listening to music living on the watch itself. I do
agree though, totally useless with no advantage I can see at this point.

Yes, but if you use a bluetooth headset then there is 0 advantage
to the watch since the bluetooth headset works just the same with
the phone directly.

Hi, yes, the watch has a speaker, and calls taken on the watch
behave like using a speaker phone. Of course you can use a
BlueTooth headset in addition to the watch if concerned about
privacy. That is what I've surmised from reading various reviews anyhow.

Hi Rick,
Am I right to assume that all calls you take on your watch will be
with open speaker and therefore, not private? If I'm on a bus,
restaurant or any other public place, I don't really like the idea
of people around me hearing the other end of the conversation, so
short as it may be. I've been using a cell phone for 25 years and
it took me a long time even to accept the idea of answering my
phone in public. Maybe that's because there weren't very many cell
phones around and too many people who had them talked as loud as
they could so that everyone around realized they were important
enough to have a cell phone. Back then, I was totally blind and a
piano tuner and loved my phone because I was on the road all day
and found it very convenient to be able to call my next customer
for instructions to get to their house and not to pretend that I
was a very famous brain surgeon who had to be on call at all times.

Hi Mary.
I currently alternate through 2 watches, a Tisot Silent T, and a
watch that is both Braille and talking. I frequently use the BEM
speaker band but it isn't a watch.
Here are my reasons for getting the Apple watch.
1. I'm a geek and just can't help myself. (lol) 2. I look forward
to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a
notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist.
3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text
messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone.
4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me.
After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will
be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a
matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for
everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others.
My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know
how that could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude!
Some of the functionality coming with the Apple watch I was
actually getting with the BEM speaker band but alas it isn't a watch.
Best regards,
Rick Alfaro

Hi Rick,
As I said in a different thread, I won't be ordering an Apple
Watch. However, I would be very interested to know why you are. Do
you now use a braille watch? Just curious. I can't imagine not
having a braille watch, it's so convenient for what it is. And I
also I'm just not seeing any upside to having to watch the Apple
one that is. So, I do respect your opinion and your tech savvy, so
would love to know why you are going to be up at 3 AM to place your
order. Good luck with it.
Mary

Pre-ordering begins on April 10th at 12:01pdt, 03:01EDT. I'm curious
how many of you will be ordering 1. I have a feeling that not many are
for various reasons. If you are, which model? Anyone ordering the
$10,000 version? (lol)
I actually will be one of the suckers up at 3am placing my order for
the Sport model with a black band.
Anyone else?
Best regards,
Rick Alfaro
