Wearing this watch in a movie theater is not a great idea. Any time you shift in your seat, your watch awakens. When you get a notification — if you look at it — you’ll learn some are small fonts on black backgrounds and not that bad while others have notifications with big white icons and light gray backgrounds that light up a room. My favorite unknown feature was the Apple Activity app informing me halfway into a movie with a forceful haptic jolt and message demanding I needed to stand for one minute out of every hour to remain healthy and I should do so right now because I hadn’t stopped sitting since the movie began. Also, when the watch comes to life unexpectedly in a dark theater, or you know, any other location you might be in that might be dark, there’s no way to instantly darken it besides covering the watch face with your other hand which you should hope is free to cover your expensive wrist computer.

I think movie theatres should introduce a mandatory 5-min break every hour so that people can attend to their digital watches. Health is more important that a movie after all!
My rocky first 24hrs with the ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜTook the Apple Watch on a 5hr ride today. Had to take it off after 40 mi. Was cutting off finger circulation and kept bugging me to stand up
