Most of the other uses for the gadget are fast falling by the wayside as users focus on the Apple Watch's ability to tell the time.

It is not the most reliable thing that the iWatch does. Apple is notorious for stuffing up telling the time on its technology, but at least Apple fanboys have found something that the tech can do

Research firm Wristly conducted a survey of Apple Watch users where it asked them to list the device features that they were using and those they weren't.

About half of Apple Watch users said they were using the device to check the time more than they thought they would, while 51% said they were using it to tell time about as much as expected.

The other function that fanboys were using a lot was to monitor their heart rates. It is not so much that they are doing any exercise, Apple fanboys are just terrified that their hearts will stop beating and check it all the time.
What they are not using it for is music and podcasts and few of them bothered using the messaging options.

In other words, Apple fans are using the iWatch for things you could buy a $20 watch for. They hardly use it at all for the things it is designed for and for which they paid hundreds of dollars. It explains the heart monitoring though. Every time the credit card bill arrives, fan boys are worried that they will have a heart attack.

We suspect that Apple will attempt to trademark time. Apparently, Steve Jobs invented time but failed to make enough of it and it ran out for him. Apple lawyers would be confident that they can sue Stephen Hawkings or anyone who claimed to have seen time before Steve Jobs was born. Apple is likely to win in an American court where juries are not good at spotting technical problems in cases – particularly anything requiring opposable thumbs.
