early apple watch unboxing & review
mine arrived early! it's the less publicized round silver aluminum case, 40mm diameter, with a space grey single piece lanyard that could be strap-swapped with fellow fashionistas.
sadly, the software of the early production model seems to be lacking. the home screen is locked to a retro dial, and i can't figure out how to switch it to the mickey mouse watch face. roman #s are so 90s!
the digital crown spins freely, but doesn't do much else. a (so far) undocumented feature of the crown is the pull & twist shortcut to change time directly. neat!
battery life is even worse than expected. my

watch came with a fully depleted battery right of the tin, and there is no charging cable included. i repeat: apple does not include a charging cable!!! whoever gets their shipment on the 24th, and has failed to order a cable separately, will have a sad sad day on the 25th!

ok, i'm back to checking my order status! let it be friday pretty please!
