Apple Watch as a Remote

Daring Fireball: Apple Watch: Initial Thoughts and Observations
Apple Watch Sport (aluminum/glass): $349 (not a guess)
Apple Watch (stainless steel/sapphire): $999
Apple Watch Edition (18-karat gold/sapphire): $4,999
Shocking at first, but the more I consider it, the more accurate I think it is. Except the Edition price. I think that's going to be $9,999 or higher.
I've said I have zero interest in getting an Apple Watch. I've changed my mind. If I can use it as a remote to activate slo-mo filming on my iPhone 6, then that's worth about $200 or so of the $349 starting price. The other $149 might not be too difficult to make up.
