Return your watch now (or do not buy)

[Tycho24]

I didn't have high expectations. Same as you, I bought it as a watch and the rest are just icing on the cake.

Again, as long as it works, it's amazing.

I hope you enjoy your watch soon

So yours rarely works just as a watch????
Ummm...dare I say: you're holding it wrong?

Howdy, an update to my previous post
Here’s some screen shots
No force touch for remote apple TV

Podcast show up as now playing in the Music App glance screenshot

Force touch can be used in the Music app
But in the Music app glance, you cannot force touch, but you can select or deselect the STAR
Some other force touch features such as selecting source (Watch or iphone to play music)
Force touch for airplay
Force touch to add a STAR to now playing station in music app
the Music app works very well on the watch for now
The remote app not as much functionality

Guys I warn you ever to buy a TV, or a car. Because I don't see the point in this and that product it has to be a total joke. And that's why it must be a joke to everyone.

And here is why: I hardly watch TV so what is the point in owning a TV? I drive my bike to work and only borrow or share a car if I need one for vacation or travel. So you all should do the same. If you don't have my habits now you will have them in one month or two. Furthermore you will develope keen interest and little knowledge in ion beam physics and get a nice looking girl to love. You will have a cat eventually.

Opinions... I'll take two!

Sometimes, the watch flickers or has this horizontal lines. They're temporary and when you turn it off and on its gone. The display does not always turn on every time I flick my wrist. The display does not stay long enough especially when I have Mickey and trying to decipher time lol. Sometimes I have to tap screen. These are minor concerns for some people. Not for me especially for a $1600 watch (almost like getting a regular polishing for Rolex during a 4-6 year period) You don't get a Rolex or a Porsche and just suck it up when it's ******. Not that the watch is on that level. But I guess people without watches yet should opt for the cheapest version then it's not as annoying I guess. Let the gullible ones (including myself) feast on the ss. Sports looks dirt cheap but to have the watch just cause, sport should do.


Also, one thing I would like to see on the next apple watch is the capability to be a truly "hands free" and more intuitive device. This version still requires a tap or two to confirm or carry out a task. I'm sure apple will catch up pretty quick to that.

I don't get it. Because of some people love to throw out cash and buy expensive bands in addition to the one they own doesn't make it a (initial price + x) watch. The watch price is for the sports around 400$ and the ss around 600$. And if you opt for a more expensive band you can order it separately or with the watch body for additional cost. Reminds me on photography gear.

Please stop believing that your experience is the only experience, and your way is the only way. You and your opinion are not nearly as important as you want to believe.

Sorry if I offended you.

I'm afraid Ben_Dover is correct. The apple watch is a dud. Don't be too sad. Apple had a good run and they were bound to fail at some point. What a shame that their perfect record (https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/ or https://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/19/2011-macbook-pro-repair-program-apple/ or https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203787) was destroyed by a watch.

Just like when Porsche went out of business due to unexplained fires and had to give all of their money away (http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/18/autos/porsche-911-gt3-engine-replace/); what do you expect for $130,000.

Or when Ferrari sold a $200,000 handcrafted Italian barbeque grill (http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/01/ferrari-458-italia-supercar-is-recalled/?_r=0).

As for the $399 watch, I'm sad to admit that it has performed every function I expected it to. But it doesn't keep my wrist warm, so dud. Perhaps Porsche or Ferrari could make a watch...

Should someone contact Cupertino's chamber of commerce and tell them that 1 Infinite loop is now available to rent?

Serious note: I'm sorry to anyone that buys a product and is unhappy. Regardless of cost or manufacturer. It isn't fun being disappointed.

Sometimes things don't work; even expensive things.

Personally, I like my watch but I'm not telling everyone that they must buy one. I'll discuss its strengths and weaknesses and let them decide what is right for them.

If anyone isn't interested based on the reviews, descriptions, or trials, then I hope they do not buy it. I'm not offended if you don't buy a product I didn't make.

For those that do buy it and decide it was a mistake, I hope it happens within the 14 day period where apple will take back your watch; no questions asked and no restocking fee.

If you like the product but feel that your specific copy was defective, then Apple will replace it it.

Best of luck!
