Is It Worth $600? HELL NO!!!!!

Other complaints aside, I think the OP is the first person to say that the stainless model looks and feels cheap.
Maybe Apple was in a rush to get his order out they made his of plastic with chrome paint on it. Just like people who "scratched" their sapphire and wondering if Apple put ion x glass on their SS instead
Personally, I think it's worth the money just as a watch. I got the 38mm because it is discreet and doesn't scream 'smart watch', and I'm very happy with the purchase.
Sorry you didn't like it OP.

Still crying over the same issue on every thread..... Bru... Your watch was never late bru.... /yawn
The features that actually make it the Apple watch?
It's more like I came for the features, stayed for the style.
I don't think a watch you have to charge every night and doesn't have built in GPS is worth $400. I don't think the look is very refined and is worth $400.
But the thing is, I knew this all before I spent the money and bought it anyway. I knew what I was getting and wanted to be an early adopter of a shiny new toy and am glad I got it.
The problems the OP posts seem to be all things that were public before they went on sale...so not really sure why he would have put down $600 to begin with.

Once all is said and done, and I receive the 3 extra bands I ordered, my Apple Watch when worn it it's most expensive configuration will be worth $1000. I feel it's worth every penny of that for the pleasure I'm getting out of it now, and the pleasure I expect to get out of it in the future.
As far as the technical aspect of it, it's everything I hoped it would be and then some. Mostly because I didn't expect it to do anything more than notify me when I received a call/text/email. The complications on the watch faces are icing on the cake. Very sweet icing, I might add. Anything it does over that, is pure magic as far as I'm concerned because I never expected anything beyond that. I thought I knew what I was buying, and what I received has not disappointed.
I own 8 other watches, the most expensive being a Tag that I purchased 13 years ago. When I wore the Tag, I always felt like I was wearing quality. That's the same feeling I get wearing the Apple watch.
I can understand being disappointed over the technical abilities of the watch. Although, if you expected more than what the watch delivers from a tech point of view, I kind of think that's on you for having unreasonable expectations. I don't think Apple promised anything more than what the watch actually delivers.
What I can't understand is how someone could feel that the ss version of the watch feels or looks cheap. Even with a rubber band, at $550 for my ss with white sport band, it absolutely feels every penny of it's worth when compared to my $2000 (at 2002 prices) Tag Heuer. I have a few cheap(er) watches in my watch drawer. The Apple Watch cannot be counted among them.
Not sure what problem the OP perceives with the Apple Watch, but his perception of quality and value is quite skewed from reality, in my opinion.

Every 1st generation of the a new product is flawed with some issues, But early adopters always take the risk, the good-thing about Apple is that build concerns are sometimes usually not really an issue, Software will be improved upon overtime, we are yet to know what Apple's actual plans with the Software updates/refinements etc for the Watch are, but i am sure we will find out-soon.
When Apple gets to the 2nd/3rd Generation of the watch, i truly believe that from that point it could be a game changer much like the IPad/IPhone was before it.

This! I bought the same because it is a sick piece of jewelry. Can't wait to take delivery. My SS BSB is my daily driver, and I love its look and function for that. It will be nicer when the software allows for multiple watches.
Folks you have to remember that it's very easy for Android robots to create an account on here and start this nonsense. They are all over this thread. To make things worst, a lot of tech sites follow these boards looking for negative comments. This post I an absolute robot troll!!!

Show me a pic of your watch with my screen name written next to it. If you don't, I call BS! Watch faces are atrocious? Dude we knew what they all looked like since last September. Try one have been available for over a month and you just now came to this conclusion?
