      I'm using Kronos now.  It seems to give you the same control that Apple's remote app provides - pause/play, back, forward, volume.  It would be nice to pick a playlist.  Not bad if you don't feel like getting up to find your phone or iPad.

      Just got my Apple Watch (with Link Bracelet) today! 😃 It is great so far! The future on my wrist.

      Zoneplay is SO COOL! Mike has done a great job on the watch in integrating exactly what is needed and not overloading the app. I LOVE Play/Pauseing and controlling the volume of my whole setup. Individual volumes are there (if needed), but not too prominent - very good. Tons of speakers "listen" to a thing as small as 42mm.

      I will certainly have some suggestions a little bit further in. Zoneplay is in my "inner ring" of apps around the Watch icon on my app start screen - a place for only the most valuable of apps.

      I have set my Watch to return to the last used app (instead of the watch face). That makes very much sense for Zoneplay. Just look at the watch and the play/pause button as well as the volume slider is there (it isn't a slider, just 2 buttons left and right with some graphical slidery thing, which cannot be manipulated by sliding or the crown).

      Many reviews talk about app loading times being too long. Well. They are there, but are mostly ok. I am looking forward to native apps running on this thing.

      On a footnote: doing phone calls on the Apple Watch is hilarious!! I feel so Knight Rider(ish). ;-)))

      I just got an Apple Watch and I totally agree with Dan above. I would love to be able to control some basic Sonos features like volume from my watch. I don't carry my phone in the house (women's clothes rarely have pockets) but my watch is always on me. A watch app is right in line with the simplicity and forward-thinking principles of Sonos.
