This is what you get with Tim's rush to market. By the way, where is the ubiquitously present Tim now?

The wife worked out in hers Sat/Wed/Thu, wore it to a theme park, in the pool, around the pool "beach" sand area - still works perfect. 
Can't wait to get mine

The answer to your question is obvious when you realize that Sir Ive rides to work in the back of a bustle-back Bentley.
Agree. I think the "retro" quality of the crown was irresistable.
Slight difference - you hardly touch the crown on a traditional watch. Maybe to wind it in the morning or change time when change time zones or if you left it in a draw and it needs to be wound up.
The digital crown is being used multiple times per day.
Apple haven't taken something that has worked for hundreds of years and made it fail.
I think there are enough data points now to argue the product was rushed to market by a year or so. The question is why?
Yes because my old iPhone 4 not being able to call people was a minor flaw ... As well as the sleep/wake button getting stuck ... And the dock connector breaking... About 5 of them ... Between three iPhone replacements.
I'm not saying the he wasn't brilliant. He was. I'm saying the Apple had its same amount of flaws before as they do now.
The problem is that some people in this thread thought of him being so perfect that absolutely nothing went wrong during that time. But it did.

You think these are even close to the same? Under Jobs we never saw such an increasing number of unhappy, disappointed, and frustrated customers as we see under Cook.
Because the product has been in development for atlaest 2 or 3 years now. Apple can't just keep dumping R&D money into the product.

Well Steve gave us free cases.
It's residual NaCl Crystals from evaporating perspiration. Only highly polar solvents like water dissolve NaCl well. I'm curious if the Taptic Oscillator could be drawing in anything on an Ionic Level? 
By clean, I just mean run water over it and dry it with a towel. Any electronic device I use when I'm dirty or sweaty gets at least that kind of cleaning. I don't want dried up sweat all over expensive electronics.
Oh, so anybody that dares to have a different opinion than you is an Apple PR rep?
I guess that makes you a Samsung PR rep.
I understand, but the "old Apple" is never coming back. Ever. Those days are long gone, and it seems like the long-time Apple users who are currently unsatisfied with Apple might need to move on.
It's been in development since the day after Steve passed away.
Tim should give people Free Wipes.
Just like you're apologizing for every fault made by Steve.
-Week-long outages and data loss for MobileMe (something people were paying for, unlike iCloud)
-OS X updates that killed networking on Macs (10.2.8)
-Snow Leopard wiping out user folders
-iPhone 4 power adapter prongs breaking off
These were not "minor in-between flaws."
Yes, he was brilliant. But Apple is doing better than ever not worse.
Lest we forget, people here and elsewhere decried the iPad even more vocally than they are the Watch.
I can imagine a better solution for that. You don't have to punch zoom, you just swipe on the side.
So some users have complained about cleaning their Apple Watch after working out! Clean it!!!
Anyway, first gen Apple product tradition at work here then.

He's test driving the AppleCar. In the final prototype Ive replaced the steering wheel with a pair of leather reins.
69% of the people in this thread weren't even active on MR. I complained about my stuff breaking more during the Jobs days than I did now. I joined MR because I couldn't stand Tiger and Leopard on my iMac G4. It was taken to the Apple Store so often I just left it in the back of the car and that last time I came back home. It's a sexy coat hanger now.

You want to swipe through several app screens on a Apple Watch?
When so many on this forum seem to derive such enjoyment from complaining about Apple and its products, what better way to make them happy? Think of it as a service to its members.
Totally devoid of content or substance, of course, but the children do seem to love it so.
Apparently today's high school is really boring...
