With Siri's built-in Shazam functionality, why on earth would I need to have a watch-based counterpart for the app? What am I missing?

Shazam would be awesome, because you dont have to go fumbling for your phone then open the app. Ive only used the app a couple of times, since the song im curious about is in a quick commercial or something where I dont have a lot of time to react. Using Siri on my wrist to say "open shazam" would make this 10x easier.

Surely you would just ask siri to 'name that tune'?

My gut says it was not jest but pure envy. There are a lot of "lower peak" Apple users here that beg, borrow, steal and scrap to do anything they can to own an Apple product. In a way, they are lot like Harley riders that can't afford the better rallies but not as cool.

Wow. I read it as jest myself.

Being that pretentious and judgemental is bad for you.

According to your signature you have a MacBook Pro and an iPad. Think about why and when you use each of these and you will probably understand why owning an Apple Watch and an iPhone could make sense to quite a few people.
I think he's referring to the fact that you can simply make a SIRI inquiry from any device without going through the hassle of launching the app, not questioning why anyone would need Apple Watch. At least that's how I read it.

It's great to see so many apps being ported to the Apple Watch. And they'll be more mature and fleshed out when I eventually jump in on the 2nd or 3rd generation of the watch.
