Nowhere, apparently. Not even an iOS widget.

I think the Apple Watch has to connect to your iPhone, if you look at the latest iOS update you now have 'Watch' as a separate app on your iPhone. Not sure how the watch and iPhone talk to each other (Bluetooth?) but range of connection might be an issue if your upstairs and phone downstairs. However it might also connect to your wifi and if so then a 'Watch' sonos app would be cool, but the UI would have to be limited to text unless you can get all the current artwork etc on it's tiny screen.

What is wrong with the third party options. They support all you would need from the watch. why does Sonos need to develop something for just Apple Watch when the need is already filled.

You've missed the point. Sonos should be leading in providing support for wearable technology, not letting third party developers do it for them.

Point why? It's available. Why reinvent what is already done.

Yeh just basic function would be cool but can't work out if it has wifi or connects via bluetooth to your phone.

As I said, you missed the point.

I get your point I just disagree. I wouldn't want them spending resources in something already readily available. I would rather them put time into other features directly within their app.

So, any news on this? The watch is launching pretty soon and I would love to control my Sonos with it.

You're wasting your bandwidth, Chris. This guy wants to complain just for the sake of complaining. No logic to it at all.
Yes, please have a Sonos app for the Apple Watch as soon as possible! As someone said previously, even just volume would be great. Thanks.

I would like Sonos to provide the best listening experience possible since it is a speaker company.... Not be a leading developer of wearable technology.
I'm currently using a Moto 360 (Android wear) until I get my Apple Watch to control my Sonos so getting the ability to control volume and advance to the next song is a must. Longer term is integrated with Siri to select a new playlist would be my next request.
I run a software company. As has been illustrated here over the years with not only here but with mine, you can have the greatest product on the planet, but someone will always need/want a feature you don't offer... and the reason they want it? Their own needs. Sadly, that is generally coupled with the harbinger of the downfall of the company because they aren't putting out a feature that only one of thousands of customers 'needs.'
Excellent idea!

Nice voice of reason BCM.
This would be a killer feature and I really hope Sonos are going to have something available at launch of the watch ...

I believe Bob Marley got it all wrong ... the title should be "No Apple, No Cry" ;P
