Yes! You're right! Oh wait, you don't work for Apple. Why not? You seem to know better.
Well before I wasn't planning on shelling out the money, but now that I know I can wear it on my right wrist I'm SOLD! /s
I'm more worried about those of us that don't find wearing a watch on the outside of our wrist to be comfortable, and instead wear it on the inside of our wrist.
Ditto. But besides writing, everything else I do is dominate with my right hand.
My nerves are messed up in my right hand so I can't use it at all, pretty relived that it won't be an issue!
Honestly, I could live with the thickness, the rectilinear screen, and the overall design. What really bothers me is the redundant second button. Steve Jobs would always push for one button or as few buttons as possible on each device. The iPhone, the iPad, the iPod, the Magic Mouse and Trackpad. This device has two buttons when I really think they could have gotten away with one. That second button kills the simplicity, the symmetry and beauty of the device and offers virtually no functionality. Kill the second button Apple.
Quote of David Pogue ...
"The fanciest model, the gold Edition, comes in a gorgeous jewelry box which doubles as a charger. The back of the box has a Lightning connector, and the inside of the box has the watchs magnetic round charger pad, standing vertically. So as you retire each night, you can just lay your gold watch into its case and let it charge."
Nice piece of jewelry melded with technology, but when it is time for an upgrade will it just be a nice piece of jewelry encapsulating antiquated technology?
Guess I will just have to go stainless.

Do you work at Apple? You seem to take offence to the slightest criticism.
1st world problems.

Oh, that's a shame, what are they to do, that is very selfish of Apple, no regard for the 2nd class citizens who can only afford a Galaxy S

I'm a rightie, but I've actually always worn my watch on my right wrist for some reason, so I was really curious what, if anything, the solution to this would be.
Letting you wear it upside down is actually really simple and effective. I don't see that swapping the position of the crown dial and button would be any sort of disadvantage.
If I get one, or a later iteration, not sure which wrist I'll end up wearing it on, but good to know that either is an option.

Translation. They thought of it when others didn't. I wouldn't have expected any less of Apple.
The iPhone has always had a dedicated Mute/Vibrate switch. An awesome feature that every phone on the planet should have always had--and yet many still don't. It's an "extra" button and "less simple," and Steve chose to have it because it DID something worth doing.
Design isn't how something looks--it's how it works. Let's see what exactly Apple (and developers?) do with the extra button that could not be done if you ONLY had a Home button. Then we can judge.
I suspect Apple has thought this through already....
lol at people saying this is a bulky watch, and then saying moto 360 is better
Please...
----------
I have to say this again (when comparing this to 360). Moto 360 looks huge and bulky next to
Watch. And some say Apple Watch is fat
As someone with a nickel allergy, I'm a bit concerned about the metallic nature of the watch... I don't want the yellow gold version but it might be the only one that doesn't make me break out. Not sure about the aluminum, I guess...
You know, not all lefties wear their watches on their right wrists. Since pretty much every watch ever made has had its winding stem (analog) or buttons (digital) on the right side, a lot of us just wore ours on our left wrists like all the righties.
