I'm thinking Apple watch 2.0 would have a front camera for FaceTime.

Anyone think this would be useful to have ?

Yes, I think this could be a great addition to the functionality of the watch. Apple just needs to work on the connection speed to make this useful vs frustrating.

I use FaceTime twice daily to chat to my girlfriend back in the UK and whilst FaceTime on the watch would be useful, I like the larger screen on my iPhone 6 so I can see her in more detail.

Darn, I miss her...

If I have my phone, that's what I'll use for FaceTime. I don't want to look at a tiny FaceTime screen!

FaceTime audio seems a no brainer. Hope they add it so I could call the kids' iPods.

I think trying to hold my wrist at an angle for FaceTime would get old fast. I prefer it on my phone, pad, or my MacBook Air

I agree in the thought the next version will have a camera they had to hold back some features to push upgrades and to see if anybody really wants one I'm sure

If I'm going to burn the battery life and space, I want a GPS chip, not a camera. FaceTime on a phone already is pushing it.

The eventual neat thing could be making the watch standalone -- a potential wrist phone, period.

It's cool to have it. But I don't think it will be useful. Too small and it will eat your battery. Since I always have my phone with my. I'll just use my iPhone to FaceTime.
