When will the Logos for Watch app be available (just kidding).
IN theory its still iOS, which means it should be pretty easy to port it over, with a few optimizations for such a small screen.
Currently, iWatch has less market share than Windows Phone 8, so…

Good one Bradley. That will last 24 hours. [:D]

Ouch!
24 hours, eh? What if it doesn't go on sale till 19 September? Huh?!
I know it is all in jest... but no matter how smart a watch i do not need the Bible on it (unless it has a holographic projection screen... then it would be a cool Logos platform).

Time will tell... heh.
Yes, amen. I take it as a grain of hope for Windows Phone [:)]
I can't get videos to run for more than a few minutes before the battery goes flat, and searching my 10,000 resources offline takes a few hours. Why can't Logos for iWatch be faster?
What about, when someone asks you "what time is it?" and you pull up your watch, show logos app on it and just answer "time to read the bible!!!"
I meant 24 hours from when it goes on sale. The rumors suggest that the watch may not go on sale until next calendar year. All kidding aside... As for "market share,"... When this device is released, it will 1) define a new market and 2) capture the lion's share of that market. This was the pattern for the iPod, iPhone and iPad. I think this device will be a big deal (not like the current AppleTV which I love, but wasn't a "game changer").
[:D] That's my kind of joke.

I am a strong believer that "form follows function" and vice versa. The iOS mobile apps would need more than a "few optimizations." The FUNCTION of any 'iWatch' apps would need to be tailored to the new FORM.
One app which might be better suited for the form: Memorization. Also, the "verse of the day" pics... but probably only a limited subset which are customized for the different sized screen.

Let's see. Android is on more phones than iOS and Galaxy Gear is already on the market. Pebble makes a smartwatch that is compatible with BOTH iOS and Adroid 4.0 and newer. I'm not seeing the "define and capture"
To make this post forum compatible...I have a free ESPN app on my Pebble that provides scores from MLB, NCAAF, NFL, NHL and NBA. A logos app that provides Verse of the day would be nice.
The Apple TV is nice but kind of useless. What is a gamechanger (IMHO) is the Chromecast. $35 and it sees more use in my house than my Xbox One and a custom built HTPC.
I wish the Logos and bibleScreen apps have some sort of Chromecast support soon.
Also, iWatch and Android Wear support for verse memorization would be great.

What is "game changing" about chrome cast? I don't really know much about it... From what I have heard, it is just a device to play media streaming from your mobile device. Is that right? If so, what is "game changing" about that? (The AppleTV does that but more). I am fairly certain the FireTV does that as well.
I haven't seen the FireTV in action, but the AppleTV is the nicest experience I have seen so far... But it needs to be updated... and new content added.
Apple Watch NOT for sale until "Early 2015" Just announced today.
Very bad form to be looking at your watch in the pulpit or when counseling. I hope Bradley's market share is prophetic.
Heaven forbid! I spent decades getting over the emotional trauma of my Grandfather (who was a successful business man and whom I highly respected) telling me that he would never hire any man who didn't wear a watch. I put up with bands pulling the hair out of my arm for far too many years until the advent of the cell phone (after a brief interlude with a pocket watch) freed me from the bondage of the unholy arm piece. Why anyone would want to go back to a small screen format with a sweaty and painful (for those of us with hirsute arms) band is beyond me. [:D]
My Christmas gift - late one - will be this watch. So, I would enjoy in it if it could (1) read the Bible to me on the way to ... (2) I could use Siri to do a quick look up of a verse. But I do this (1) from the car now, so ...

Sounds like you will be camping out at the Apple store,

I retired in 1998. I have not worn a watch since. I am not going to start wearing one for Apple.

I have not retired yet and hopefully still have a long ways for that, but I have not worn a watch since I bought my first cell phone in 1999. Once in a blue moon I'll wear the Bulova my dad gave me for my graduation from seminary (preaching school), but I figure a watch is good only for looks and to tell time, but my cell does that better without leaving any marks on my wrist.
So, I don't see myself getting an apple watch for apple either. It won't put any money in my pocket. In addition to that, I don't think Logos could do much to make an app that will work with the watch anyway. I prefer the iPhone or the iPad for the Logos app. The watch is kind of pushing it to the point of sort of being ridiculous, but then again, is just my opinion. I wouldn't find any use for Logos on an apple watch or any other "smart" watch for that matter.

I don't anticipate anyone doing any real reading on the Watch. As I said above, it would have to be a specialized app with a specialized purpose.
How about this: the watch is a remote control for Presentations. [;)]
My purpose in starting this thread was more humor than anything else.
At least you proved that the forum software lets you change the thread title to a characterset that can't be displayed on Windows PC (I assume you made iWatch to #Watch - the # doesn't show on IE or Chrome, though) - maybe all this annoying apple stuff now will automatically vanish from sight of the non-fanboys?

That's what I wrote about. Microsoft and Google mercifully spare us who are not in the club:

Maybe a remote control for Proclaim.
