Is the honeymoon over?

Funny how they're the ones who always try to rile me up while I'm having my peace. Here's a thought, leave me alone and Move along....
Trolling is a hard thing to ignore, everyone says don't feed the trolls but even by saying that, people do feed the trolls. A good example is this htreat.
Since the 24th he has trolled multiple threads , throwing his toys out of the pram, very disappointed with the mods. He knows exactly what he is doing and being smug about it . If this is the type of behaviour mods wish to encourage , so be it, though I have little time for such childish posts, it would be okay if there was an ability to ignore comments by a user.
So to the mods? Are we governed by the same rules? Cause you might want to review this users behaviour and recent posts, he is winding up people on purpose, is this not trolling?
I have the same sentiments exactly.... I'm having my peace. You are free to ignore me. I'm not looking for trouble, you guys are constantly picking on my posts, then try to get me wind up. If my actions are "trolling", then what do you call the people who consistently attack my posts just for fun? Punishment should go both ways... Like I said, move on. Last time I checked there's thousands of users mad and angry and "throwing tantrums". Open your eyes and pick on others. He who hasn't sinned should cast the first stone.
Prime example. Thread just got hijacked again by the haters.

Do you understand the delivery of the watch was the 24th-8th of May, for the first orders. Also do you realise by you posting that apple botched this launch up and Angela should be fired, and you are going to receive the watch, just to return it, followed by posts on how the watch is crap now is trolling, all because in your mind the watch had to be in your hands on the 24th. Your are winding people up cause you cannot understand what 24th April -8th may means and your making posts to undermine the watch, for those of us that have received it and wish to enjoy it. And worse, you are playing a victim that is minding his own business, while continuing the agenda.
Your watch is late on the 9th of May. Deal with reality!
Also allow users to enjoy thier watches, the product did not become crap cause YOU did not get it on the 24th.
So please follow your own advice and let us enjoy the watch in peace? Okay?
So am I. Mods are to quick for the "No iWatch correction" thing, even though that name comes most of the times from people who are well aware of the correct name but go around trolling.
Totally agree with you.
If this is not trolling by an individual with an agenda, the rules on this site are not equal for all, disappointed!!!
I also cannot wait for months to get something. The excitement just fades away, especially when there is actually a very vague delivery date. This might be for others a non issue, but for me it kills the excitement. I could only wait for an iPhone, but nothing else I guess.
I wanted to order a Retina Macbook but had no intention whatsoever waiting for 6 weeks to get it. At the end I got the new 13" rMBP and I didn't regret it (because it fits my needs better actually).
I was really excited when I saw the watch the first time last September. Now, 8 months later, this excitement has faded away, I still have a Milanese loop on order, but I am not sure if I will go through it.
Apple did really screw up this launch. I can maybe understand the low supply for the watch, but I cannot for the Macbook.
I'm not convinced he's actually consciously trolling. I think he's just a child who happens to be posting here. Like I said above, I don't think he's a day over 13.
The honeymoon is definitely over for me. Now it's just relationship that I have to make work, somehow. I've already posted in this forum and the Apple forums about challenges that I have been having.
My primary issues:
Sluggish behavior - when I want to look at the time, I sometimes need to wait a whole second for the watchface to display.
Wrist action does not always work and most-certainly does not work if I am in a horizontal position, like laying down.
App updates are sluggish. For example, while running, I have to stare at the watchface for 2 - 3 second because data is refreshed. Yesterday, I almost ran into another runner.
I have heard all kinds of commentary about how this is a gen 1 device and about how expectations need to be calibrated. That commentary is a load of bullcrap for the following reasons:
1. Some features that don't work well are BASIC features.
2. This is a product from Apple
I get that the app developers play a role and I really hope that a combination of fixes from Apple and third-party developers will get me more excited about my relationship with the watch.

Yes, exactly THIS.
Calling the Apple Watch an iWatch is a troll move - meant to incite people. It's similar to calling Apple users sheep.
It's nowhere near the same as calling the iPod Touch an iTouch, which is what the explanations say. But the mods allow it, to give the trolls an easier time. It's ridiculous.
That sounds rather dire. Why don't you just make use of your return right, being well within the 2 weeks? You could sit it out and try again next year.
If you don't want to do that why not? I think this is the more interesting story. We hear a lot of people in countless threads complaining about the watch but very few stating outright that they're going to send it back. Why is that?
And are too embarrassed to say so?
Yes, there could be any number of people quietly returning their watches.But I'm talking about the people who complain loudly, surely they would proudly announce that "they got rid of the damn thing"?
I think you omitted to read the part where I said that I hope that Apple + third-party developers improve overall performance. Just because I have a list of complaints does not mean that this is a dead end yet. This is a forum for sharing feedback and information,which I have done. I like gadgets and am always an early-adopter.
There is no need to get defensive, really. I'm genuinely just asking and wanting to know.
Not getting defensive, just having a fact-based conversation, with ALL the facts
I appreciate your genuine interest.
Speak for yourself, I absolutely ADORE my Apple watch, have since Friday. So happy. Kevin sent positive feedback on their site.
It is weird that wrist detection doesn't work for you laying down. It worked for me when I decided to take a nap.
