Loving this watch. My first impressions are:

1. Looks and feels great. This is really for my dad, but he's out of town and wanted me to make sure it was fine. I'm on the May 13 batch for a 42-SG-BS, but this watch looks and feels great!

2. The interface, IMHO, is buttery smooth especially for a v1.0.

3. The screen pops right up when I glance at it. No lag. As a matter of fact, when I start typing, it goes on, then disappears (thank goodness, I was kind of worried that all that movement, while typing, would wake it up).

4. Yes, a few of the third party apps are slow, but I still think well done for a first try. Or simply because Bluetooth isn't that quick? I don't know.

5. The screen is nowhere near dull as someone else posted. Beautiful vibrant colors and crisp text.

6. Haptic feedback is good. I did enable "Prominent Haptic" from the iPhone Watch App if that helps.
