"Honey I lost the Apple TV remote again!!!!"

Ok for the past two months I have been using my iPad (or my Note 4) to control my Apple TV, because I can't find that pesky little remote. (at first I LOVED that it was so small and cool looking!) But won't it be nice to control the device from my watch? So far my favorite feature on both my Moto360 and my Pebble is the music controls. It's so cool and convenient to be able to change tracks, and adjust the volume right from my wrist while my phone is still in my pocket.

Well the Apple Watch is set to do all this also plus provide you remote access to Siri (to be fair my Moto360 has Google Now also). I think THIS is what will sell the watch. I believe THIS is the best feature set. What do you guys think?

Here's an iMore blog about it for more info.....

I have no intention of using an Watch as a remote control for my TV, especially when I'm used to using by trusty iPhone 6 Plus or the actual remote control itself...;)

I believe the remote control features will be a big hit, yes, and I"m really looking forward to using them to control my Apple TV. :cool:

What i'm looking forward to is controlling my music and controlling the camera on the phone. I think that controlling the camera will be huge! Get ready for a whole new level of selfies ;)
