Wristly Report: Apple Watch user satisfaction at 97 per cent

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Wristly, an independent metrics company, has taken it upon themselves to measure user satisfaction of the Apple Watch and their findings show that those among the 800 respondents asked who own the Apple Watch are very satisfied with the first iteration of Apple's wearable.

The Wristly survey shows that Apple Watch as a version 1 product has actually gained higher customer satisfaction than the iPhone and iPad first did when they came out. These findings are remarkable for a product that's still very nascent and which is expected to get much more useful once the watchOS 2.0 update rolls out in the Fall.

eBay revises iOS app to work with Apple Watch

While official Apple Watch sales numbers have not been released, smart businesses are quickly tweaking their iOS apps to work with Apple's wearable and while native Apple Watch apps are a few months away (watchOS was just released this week), there are benefits to enabling Watch interaction for popular existing apps.

eBay's app update offers quick access to activity, items you're watching as well as up to the minute status of things you're buying or selling.
