So I see it interacts with the iPhone brilliantly (love the fact that if I have my iPhone on then the alert goes to my watch and not my phone, but when the phone is off it goes to my watch) - but is there a way to get it to interact with my macbook much?
For example - you can use the watch to control keynote on the iPhone (why would anyone want to do this? genuine question) but I can't seem to be able to control key note on my macbook - which would be really useful.
Similarly - can I control iTunes on my macbook with it?

by the way - Getting football alerts during the games yesterday on my watch was brilliant!

So has everyone gone for applecare with it or relying on house insurance?

What app do you use for the footy alerts?

There's a remote app on the app screen, you link it up with iTunes and can control your library with your watch.

Does having the watch on reduce the battery life on your phone at all?

OK, I have my first technical problem.Maybe someone can help.

When I receive a text from someone using iMessage, it comes up on the watch, and I can reply.When I get an SMS text though, I just get the notification on the watch, a bit like you do with other notifications such as Facebook.If i go into the Messages app on the watch to start a new text, it will only send to someone on iMessage.I get a send failure if I try and send to someone who is SMS (ie not on iMessage).Help!!!

Update: Charge from 8% to 100% took 1.5hrs. None too shabby.

Sorry, I don't have the watch yet, but I hope you get to the bottom of this. Surely it cant just send iMessages!
Have you tried a reset of the phone and the watch, relink etc?
I really hope that's not the case.

Yeah, done all that.In chat with a Senior Advisor right now - no solution as yet

Have they confirmed that you definitely can send a regular SMS text and not just iMessage?
