Hi, I'm Leanna Kainey and I'm the editor and publisher of CultOfMac.com and this is
0:09
another edition of Kainey's Corner. OK, the Apple Watch. We've had it since what
0:18
Late April, two months now? And you know, I'm thinking, like, is this, you know, people ask me, should I get one
0:24
And I go, yeah, I don't know. You know, it depends. It hasn't been revolutionary, but it has been evolutionary
0:29
And I realize that I check it all day. I check it all day, every day
0:33
You know, I set an alarm to wake me up, then I look to see my calendar, see what's going
0:37
on that day. I set a timer all the time for different things like cooking or, you know, for parking
0:42
In fact, I get parking reminders. I also get reminders to take medication. I was on some medication recently
0:48
I use it to turn the lights on. I use it to control the music. I follow Twitter
0:52
I follow Slack. I've even taken, I take phone calls on it. I actually quite regularly take phone calls on it
0:58
So, as the editor of Cult of Mac, people always ask me, should I get an iWatch? And you know, every single time I go, eh, well, I don't know
1:04
It depends. And, you know, if you're a geek, if you like playing with new toys, like new gizmos and
1:08
gadgets, yeah, definitely, because it's a lot of fun. But you know, if you're a regular person, maybe not
1:13
There's no clear answer. There's no clear answer to that question, like, should I definitely get one
1:17
But last weekend, I left it charging here at work, and all weekend I was like this
1:22
I'm looking down at a bare wrist. And I felt completely and utterly naked and lost without it
1:28
Lost, maybe is a bit of an exaggeration, but, you know, I kept on going like this all the time, and I'm like, there's a big white band
1:34
And that's when I realized, you know, how much I use it. I use it day to day, and I use it all day, every day, day to day
1:41
So now when people ask me, should they get an Apple Watch, I say, yeah, you know, you should, because it will slowly start to integrate into your life, and you'll start to rely on
1:49
it for more and more things. That's been another edition of Candid's Corner, and please check out cultofmac.com on the
