      Yep, Sonos!! Bring it on already (or 24.04. latest ;-D).

      42mm link bracelet.
      Hey Jack, same delivery estimate with me at 5 minutes after start.

      I think I have read somewhere, that only the Sport edition with plastic... ehhh fluoroelastomere bracelet (and few other versions) was available starting April 24th.

      Apple watch with link bracelet was 12th-26th May from the start.

      Sonos needs to write an app for the apple watch.  It would make no sense for them not to since the apple watch will augment the iphone over wifi.

      I just asked support this question, nothing in the pipeline but the more interest it receives in these forums the more likely it is to happen.

      Would love an app for the Apple Watch. Doesn't matter that it would have to connect to the iPhone app as surely that's the point of the watch -it's connect to your phone.

      I don't see that it would need to connect to the iPhone App, the Watch App would just connect to sonos direct via wifi. I think most users with be happy with a simple UI on the Watch that just controlled the volume and play/pause.

      I don't think it will be able to bypass the iPhone until after the new SDK is released for it.  Until then, it will need to connect to the iPhone in order to control Sonos, and this is all coding that would be done in the iPhone app. 

      It shouldn't be that difficult to make your iPhone app Apple Watch compatible for something like this (as far as simple controls).

      Fortunately, since it would need WiFi anyway to connect to the Sonos, and it can connect to your iPhone via Bluetooth or WiFi, there's really not much of a downside to have it go through your iPhone.  It would only really be a problem if your iPhone wasn't turned on/connected or in your house.  

      That said, when the full Apple Watch SDK comes out, having an independent app would be better since it would be faster and allow for more functionality.

      Yep, add me on this list of users that would love a Sonos + Apple Watch integration. Being able to control my apartment music from my wrist would be fantastic. I can just imagine using the scroll dial as volume control. Ahhhhh, bliss!
