The Apple Watch is an expensive wearable, Apple’s most personal device yet, and according to a new survey conducted by Wristly, most of those folks are checking the weather on it.
The latest report from the company, which is the Apple Watch’s Insider Report #17, was released today, August 25, and focuses again on the most-used apps, or services, on the Apple Watch. The company indicates that the app Dark Sky is the most utilized app on the small screen. Bristly says that over 1,300 individuals completed the survey this time around, and it’s the most they’ve received to date.
Dark Sky, for its part, received almost twice as many votes as the app that got in second place. In second place? The podcast app Overcast. And, in third, the calendar app Fantastical.
According to Wristly, “weather app” is the most “frequently cites” category, and that other apps, including CARROT Weather, AccuWeather and The Weather Channel were also included in the results, but didn’t get enough votes to make the chart.
Bristly also notes that about 30 percent of the respondents listen to music on the Apple Watch on a weekly basis, while only 16% listen to podcasts in the same stretch of time. With that information, Wristly suggests that the Apple Watch isn’t yet a media consumption device:
“As expected by many, and based on its form factor, the Apple Watch is indeed not a device appropriate for the consumption of a whole lot of media type content. Listening a bit to music and the odd podcast is the only activity that shows any regular usage for a representative segment of the panel. Almost 30% of you listen to music on a weekly basis and about 16% to podcasts. For the rest of the us, the Watch isn’t used much, if at all, for music, photos or other video type content.“
It’s certainly an interesting look at the activity on the Apple Watch. The full report is available through the source link below.
