I personally believe it's not supposed to be pocketed but to be backpacked. They're trying to encourage less phone usage, you should use your watch for immediate notifications and only get your phone out to use it for taking a picture, drawing something with the apple pencil or another task that requires a phone. Most everything else should be done by the watch though.

    I have one and it fits in my front pockets. I have never put my phone in my back pocket. Why would I? How would you sit down lol

    I think it started with females who had small front pockets, so the back pocket or placing it in the bra was the only choice. I remember everyone claiming rumours that phone vibrations could cause breast cancer so the butt pocket seemed like a better choice.

    In regards to your sitting question, I imagine a few people have sat on it by accident, as long as you don't have an obscenely large phone it shouldn't cause any issues.

    Here’s the problem with the watch alone - folks like me who can’t see well up close (even with the larger font settings on the phone and the ‘zoom’ accessibility feature is…confusing?) and need glasses but either don’t have them or can’t find them in the time it takes for the notification to disappear. By that point, I may as well just use the phone.

    When my glasses are handy, I do agree that the watch is a good use for this. Additionally however, my phone case is also my physical wallet with ID and a couple of credit cards. I understand that with Apple Wallet, these physical items are increasingly being able to be replaced by using the watch interface, but not always.

    I get those are just a couple of examples using small anecdotes, but just my .02. If Apple could figure out a better way to make the Watch easier to see for people like me without requiring glasses, that would be ideal. Or if I could figure out why I can’t seem to use the Accessibility feature correctly, if that is the problem as well. I’ll work with it some more.

    I think the biggest issue with that direction of technology is that pretty much every Android smart watch sucks. There isn't anything in the Android ecosystem that's comparable to the apple watch.

    So? What does that have to do with Apple pushing this philosophy? It's not their fault there isn't an equivalent in the Android world.
