Hey guys, please tell me you are going to or have already started working on a control for Sonos from the apple watch, I use my iPhone or iPad all the time but a watch control would be awesome.

      My new Apple Watch just arrived and I was really surprised to find that there was no app for Sonos, even though apps like TuneIn Radio already have a watch app out. My Sonos system is the most brilliant music system I ever bought, and the convenience of using my phone to control it would be increased a million-fold by being able to use my watch. PLEASE add Apple Watch functionality to your iOS app.

      I have noticed quite a few apps with updates recently that include support for Apple "Watch" Sorry to say this again sonos but you're missing the boat on this one.

      Yes, Sonos appeals to techies and many techies who own iPhones will be buying an Apple Watch!

      It would be nice to hear suggestions for Sonos that aren't couched in such a  condescending and accusatory manner.  Phrases like C'mon Sonos, this is a no brainer, you could have been working on this already, we're waiting, etc just make you sound like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum.  I also think it would be great to have an app for the Apple watch, but given that this is a product that was just launched by Apple I'm not going to act all outraged because there isn't a Sonos app ready to go.

      @Mark Guildord I think you'll find that everyone here is very passionate about sonos and would love to see a function that would enable them to control their sonos setup from the Apple "Watch" So yes they might be over enthusiastic but I don't think they are being outrageous in requesting this functionality on the Apple Watch.

      In my personal experience, those who claim developing a certain functionality is a "no brainer" have no clue about commercial software development cycles, and thus in reality, they are unknowingly describing themselves.

      I think the "no brainer" comment is in regards to the thought that there would be demand for this, not any commentary on what's going on with the development cycle at Sonos.

      In fairness, the Apple Watch SDK was available for quite some time, and numerous other apps were ready to go on launch day for the Apple Watch, while Sonos hasn't really said much about their plans.

      That's rather disappointing, and sends a different message than a company that either is always on top of being compatible with our latest devices, or at least is providing detailed communication regarding future compatibility.
