    Feel free to email beta@zoneplay.co.uk and have a look at where ZonePlay for Apple Watch is at. Basic zone play/pause/volume and selecting from your Sonos Favourites.

    I don't suspect Sonos has any interest in adding the intercom feature and There is a good third party solution. But I would agree that would be a great feature for the developer of Sonos voice to make as an Apple watch version of his

    Another Apple Watch user here. While Watch support isn't "necessary", the same could be said for internet connected speakers in general. I like Sonos particularly because of the fact that it enables convenient and gee-wiz features like control from my computer/phone/watch/arduino/toaster.

    I have a watch and controlling some features of my Sonos from it would be great. I think that an app from sonos is a must from their side it's an amazing system and controlling it from your wrist would be a really cool selling point.

    You have to put your phone in the toaster

    I've had my Apple Watch for over 24 hours now, and I still don't see a Sonos app. This is an outrage. Sonos should have had this ready when I decided on a whim to buy this thing. I cannot believe I have to use my phone to control every song on earth playing magically from hidden speakers throughout my house, like a damn animal. I will never forgive this transgression. 

    But seriously, please make a watch app so I feel cooler switching songs.

    I currently use Kronos on Pebble which is ok but has its limitations - mainly that it requires a companion app on the phone and that it kills the phone's battery life. A native app for Apple Watch would be an ideal replacement and would help to overcome one of the few things that really bugs me about Sonos, namely to give a quick and easy way to answer the question I ask myself many times a day "what's this song/album/artist?"
    I notice that the Kronos app has been upgraded to work with the Apple Watch. I've not had a chance to try it, as I don't yet have the watch.
