I'm most disappointed by the lift wrist thing to turn watch on, it's finicky, and I'm on my recliner so not standing up and if I lift my wrist.. Nothing

I notice mine turns on too much. But I was doing things around the house, so....
 
Mine is very responsive. Just a slight tilt of the watch towards my face brings up the watch face.
 
I ordered the watch and have been using it all day. Surprisingly I love the design of the watch more than I thought I would. I have the 42mm Milanese loop.

The UI is nice too and better than I thought. The navigation isn't a problem and the glances and notifications are both nice (when notifications work).

That said I can't help having the feeling of meh...

The total package is better than I thought but I find myself looking at my wrist and then taking out my phone anyway. The watch is literally just a notification device for me in the four hours I've been using it. Maybe I'll adjust over the next few days but for liking everything more than I thought I'm still having second thoughts.

Ironically, this watch works best when you are out doing things. just sitting around with it will always appear boring. There isn't enough information displayed on it. It is for a glance. Nothing more.

I'm gonna give it the weekend but it literally is a notification device only and that part has been finicky for me. Plus if your on your phone you don't get notified on the watch (which makes sense).
