How The Apple Watch Dock Works Under Watch OS3

How The Apple Watch Dock Works  Watch OS3
9 to 5 Mac created this superb video that showcases exactly how the Dock works in Watch OS3, as well as showing how to add and remove apps.

9 to 5 Mac also created this video of Watch OS3, which give a superb overview of how it works. 9 to 5 Mac also wrote a superb hands-on article on iOS10 + watchOS3 Home App for HomeKit on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, which I also highly recommend reading.

I am extremely curious about the new HomeKit enabled app named Home, so I want to share this excellent video overview on how it works:

2016 Apple WWDC Keynote Including Watch OS 3

2016 Apple WWDC Keynote Including Watch OS 3
Apple showcased the upcoming Watch OS 3 at the World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco today. Kevin Lynch from Apple gives the presentation on The Apple Watch Update in the WWDC video, which begins at 8 minutes and 30 seconds into the video. I highly recommend watching the entire Keynote, which is ver impressive...

My overall impression of the WWDC was amazing!!!! I am most impressed with the significant advancements with the HomeKit, including the Home App [1Hour 19 Minutes in to the video] for iOS and Watch OS. 
As many of you know, I stopped writing about the Apple Watch after it was launched. I did so because I purchased the stainless steel Apple watch, along with several straps, and ended up returning it because I thought it was so frustrating to use. I found the watch UI to be way to kludgy, and slow.  In particular, I found it very cumbersome and tedious to get to any information or apps. Also, the overall performance of the watch was way too sluggish. The Apple Watch felt like a Beta product that was not ready for prime time, and I didn't want to pay a lot of money to be a Beta Tester!!?!

Promising Future of Watch OS 3
Even thought I don't wear an Apple Watch today, I have been keeping abreast of the changes, and with the preview of Apple Watch OS 3 seems AMAZING!!!! So I am looking forward to checking it out.
In the meantime, several thoughts on the current state of the Apple Watch:
1. I am completely blown-away with the Apple Watch ability to instantly change straps and bracelets. This is my single most favorite feature, and something I look forward to exploring in the future in detail. In other words, it is amazing to me that by simply changing the strap/bracelet on the Apple Watch it can complete change looks.
2. My least favorite feature, which was not addressed in the WWDC Keynote is that Apple has not opened up the the actual timekeeping/ watch User Interface to developers. I think most of the existing Apple watch faces are lame, and I believe Apple should open up the UI so third-party developers can customize it, as well as offering much more flexibility to end users. 
3. I think some of the new feature of Watch OS 3 are stunningly brilliant. The ability to authenticate you Mac password with an Apple Watch is amazing. I am also impressed with the new feature that allows you to write gestures in response to text messages. As previously mentioned, I am super impressed with the advancements in the HomeKit platform, and how it can all be controlled with the Apple Watch!!!!
As I mentioned, I am really looking forward to Watch OS3, and I am curios to see the advancements in the second generation of Apple Watch Hardware. I assume Apple will keep the form-factor similar, and most importantly, I assume they will keep it backwards compatible with all their brilliant straps and bracelets.

Yellow Gold Custom Apple Watch

Apple is doing an amazing strategic marketing job with the rollout of the Apple watch by having it show up first on many famous celebrities wrists. In the photo below we see a custom yellow gold Apple Watch with a matching yellow gold bracelet on legendary beautiful recording artist, Beyonce.

I believe it is inevitable this all gold Apple Watch model will come to market in the future, probably at a price point around the cost of a yellow gold Rolex. 

In the photo below we also see Karl Lagerfeld's Apple Watch, which is also a custom yellow gold model like Beyonce.

Karl Lagerfeld is pictured below with Apple lead designer Jony Ive, with Anna Wintour between them at the launch of the Apple Watch in Paris, France.

J.J. Abrams Director Of Star Wars

Director Of Star Wars

WATCH SPORT

The list of celebrities that are rockin' Apple Watches is very impressive, and it is awesome to see J.J. Abrams wearing one. J.J. Abrams is the hottest movie director working today, and will likely go down in history as being one of the absolute greatest directors.

The photo above of J.J. Abrams was taken today at the Star Wars Celebration Festival in Anaheim California, where he showcased for the all-new Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2 Trailer, which can be viewed below.

The Star Wars Event was amazing, and it included all the primary original cast member as seen below, including Peter Mayew (Chewbacca The Wookie), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Princess Liea) and Anthony Daniels (C3P0). Only Harrison Ford (Hans Solo) was missing, since he is still recovering from his airplane accident.

J.J. Abrams is pictured again below at the end of the event, after he took off his ballcap, and as we see he is wearing what appears to be a custom-made blue Apple Watch Sport Strap, which matches the R2D2 model in front of him (seen in the second photo below).

I must say I believe we are living in the most amazing of times, and to see the already super-iconic Apple Watch next to the super-iconic R2D2, is just amazing and heartwarming at the same time. It also give me a deja vu feeling to see the Apple Watch next to R2D2, and if you think about it, the Apple Watch really is kind of like having your own real life R2D2!!!!

Star Wars has special meaning for me, since I saw it in the movie theaters when I was 10 years old. Along with Raiders Of The Lost Ark, it remains one of my favorite movies of all time, so after all these decades to see the original case return, is a dream come true!!!!!!
You can watch the J.J. Abrams interview in the video below, which I very highly recommend watching!!!!!
