I quickly rinse my Suunto sportwatch after a good workout, no point in letting it get salt-encrusted and smelly.

I think you misunderstood his comment?
I read it that they are switching their phone to Apple and want them to approve Android Wear so they can use the LG G watch with the iPhone.

You were so excited to bash Apple that you forgot to actually read the post. He's not switching watches.
Never change, MacRumors.
Yes this device has a touchscreen, but you have to interface with it using a knob.
Now the knob is sticky and, it doesn't go.
This watch shouldn't even have a crown.

I think they're on par with people commenting "first" now. Or like those Facebook comments where its a race for everyone to post the same meme on every famous persons post in the hope their unoriginal copied picture gets some likes.
You're comparing apples and oranges. You're issues had to do with natural technical advancements. In 2015 with the amount of money and success that Apple has, there should not be the problems and customer dissatisfaction that Cook is creating. Jobs improved the company and made things better from more humble beginnings, while Cook was handed a company at it's peak, and is going backwards in advancement and customer satisfaction.
Don't forget, the PowerMac G5 systems that leaked coolant. Paid upgrades for iOS on the iPod Touch. Antennagate. The list goes on and on.
And then, just as now, Apple manages to make great products despite their occasional mishaps.
The crown on a conventional watch does not have to provide a carefully calibrated and low resistance. In fact, it usually has quite a noticeably resistance as it has to turn the internal gears of the watch when you change the time. It usually is also not a nice experience because those crowns are generally tiny (compared to the digital crown) and need to be pulled out with your fingernails.

Yeah and all those reports of Apple employee testing the watch over the last couple of months outside of their campus were all fake.

Yes, because people constantly complain that they had been posting about issue X already for days in the MacRumors forums before somebody else reported about it.
People tend to rinse everything they have dipped into seawater for good reason. Wearing something on your skin while sweating isn't really different.
So it seems you're admitting that Apple under Tim Cook is doomed? The "old Apple" visionary lead company that grew to be the biggest in the world is gone and never coming back? A lot of confidence in Tim Cook?
What if it gets to the point where all Apple users become "unsatisfied" with Apple and move on? You're logic is outstanding.
I have a better suggestion. How about users voice their dissatisfaction and offer customer feedback in hopes that Apple will listen and give it's customers what they want, rather than simply remain quiet and "move on".
I just hope there's another political scandal at that hotel in Washington, DC.
It'll be fun to watch the reporters call it "Watergate-gate"
Technical advancements or technical problems both software wise and hardware wise? I don't understand your first few sentences.
Where are we going backwards in advancements? My MacBook Pro is faster than when it was new due to Yosemite and it was free unlike Snow Leopard. iCloud is no where near as bad as MobileMe and it is also free.
I'm very satisfied right now. No need for update anything right now.
I don't really care whether or not Apple is "doomed". Apple has been doomed since it was founded, so 2015 is just yet another year in Apple's history. If somehow all the boys that cry wolf are right and Apple actually is doomed this time around, then I have no problem using Windows and Android. The Surface Pro 3 and HTC One (M9) are fantastic devices, anyways.
Like I mentioned in another comment with a few examples, Apple had numerous failures under Jobs. Apple has had failures under Tim Cook as well. But under Cook, Apple has sold more devices and become more profitable than ever. That doesn't discredit how Jobs basically rebuilt Apple from ashes, but a vocal minority of people that are perennially unsatisfied with everything Cook says and does also doesn't discredit Cook.
And anyways, I do believe Apple has feedback options on their website for people who would like to share their opinions.
I did that hundreds of times. It was about the design of OS X 10.5 - 10.9 and iOS 1-6.
I represented flat icons in OS X before it was a trend.

But how will we be able to zoom or scroll? The screen is too small.

1. Don't write a UI that requires zooming on a tiny screen. Nobody else did.
2. It's not too small to scroll on. It's not like Apple uses the crown for that purpose all the time, anyway. Heck, it requires a finger to scroll the homepage icons around, etc.
=or=
Make the side of the watch a capacitive sensor, instead of using a mechanical knob.
I'm sure people have other ideas, as well. I think Ive and Newson decided on the crown at some point, then had the UI people retrofit pieces to work with it.
To be fair, there's also A LOT more people with Apple devices nowadays than during the bulk of Steve's reign. Even still, iOS and OS X are much more complex and feature packed than ever now.
Steve had his share of blunders. People complain about the Apple apologists, but the Steve apologists are just as bad.
