I just find it hard to understand how someone with such a long history of deep and personally felt gripes with Apple products talked themselves into buying a 1st gen Apple Watch. I mean I'm a very happy and satisfied Apple customer, but decided not to touch AW for the first gen because it's pretty obviously a marginal utility device and since it's a brand new interaction model sure to have some jankeyness. But no, this guy jumps in with both feet even though he has a long history of bad Apple product experiences. Now that's fearlessness for you!
Yeah the ironic thing is that I've chosen to not purchase apple products more than the author, and still have less animosity towards them. You have to really want to like something to be that upset not to like it.
Maybe it's Apple Marketing's fault. They make the products look so good, if you don't like them you feel like the flaw is in yourself not the product.
