I thought this when I had an Apple Watch, but I’ve really not found much that I miss. I occasionally found it useful to action notifications, but dismiss is almost always all I want - and that works. Apple Maps doesn’t seem to care about being useful, but Google Maps does the right thing with notifications so I just use that instead. Music controls work, and they’re more reliable because it’s trying to be less magic. Siri is as useless on the watch as anywhere else. I think the watch worked as a camera control and I might have used that once.

I do agree that Apple should be forced to compete on a fair playing field, but I don’t think they do a good job of taking advantage of it with Apple Watch.
