Healthcare services using the watch. I was a doubter but the fitness rings schtick combined with a weight lifting app has me sold on it. Streaming content? The consolidated news app is interesting as well, but probably not a huge revenue stream.

It will be interesting to see more and more insurance companies offering discounted/free Apple Watches. Fitness + accurate monitoring of heart activity + whatever's coming next makes for a powerful combination.

It’s pretty common in the U.K. where health insurance packages offer Apple Watch / Fitness trackers and gym memberships for them it’s a no brainer if even 1 out of 50 insurers would alter their lifestyle it would more than pay for itself.
