(Can you actually listen to music with your watch, but without earbuds, and hear anything worth listening to?)
Bluetooth headphones.
Then I stand corrected.
But buying a Watch and Bluetooth headphones simply to avoid earbuds doesn't strike
me as much of an investment at all (particularly) for somebody who has no need for anything more than music.
And, of course, you can't run a Watch without also running an iPhone, so hiding from reality gets awfully costly when you go beyond a basic iPod that fills the bill quite nicely, thank you.
