Will this face save my Apple Watch?

The new Siri Watch face.

My Apple Watch experience has mainly been a disappointment. For the past two years, I’ve sometimes used it for running. That’s been about it.

I’ve heard similar stories from other Watch owners. Tim Cook’s claim “of a 97% satisfaction rate” in the most recent Apple keynote must be a case of statistical acrobatics, not reality.

Yet this recently released Watch face is changing things for me. It shows relevant upcoming reminders and events. It alerts me on the weather. It is actually useful.

Suddenly I’ve started enjoying wearing my Watch more often, even when I’m not running. There’s still lots of room for improvement, but this Watch face has potential. Allow 3rd party apps to integrate with this Watch face, as well as more customization, and we might be getting somewhere.

Perhaps my Apple Watch does have a future?

PS. While we’re on the topic of Apple Watch: whoever came up with the name “Complications” for a feature? I mean, really?
