There's a lot of groaning about the constraints of the platform (battery life, available interface components, etc), but I for one am excited by these constraints. It can be a really fun and interesting challenge to design within constraints, and in this respect the watch reminds me of the early days of mobile computing. Those tiny little battery-limited devices forced one to think differently about what a UI is, compared to the gargantuan desktop computers and their nearly cinematic display resolution.

> It can be a really fun and interesting challenge to design within constraints It'll be fun as a technical exercise and to satisfy one's intellectual curiosity, but not as much fun once you've identified the workarounds for all the constraints and you're just trying to ship.
