Something I noticed about the sizing!

It's not that they don't adhere to it, some just believe it's right to do and others are just poorly trained.

How is this preventing them from actually trying it on, you as a customer are getting the watch on your wrist. If you visit a jeweler they don't size the watch you are desiring until it is purchased. This try on experience is the same, sizing the bands is not supposed to be part of the experience and as time goes on and more people start becoming properly trained you will see this start to dwindle. Not that I wholeheartedly agree with it but if we let every customer start sizing bands and start swapping bands which truly does diminish the visual presentation of the experience, then the 15 minute appointments will turn into 30 minute appointments, not only that, links will start to go missing and so on and so forth.

Put it on your wrist, get a feel for the weight, and once you get it at home feel free to size it all you want. Same as any jewelry store that's ever existed.

I said not allowing resizing would prevent people from properly trying it on.

There is a big difference between "getting the watch on your wrist" and actually being able to properly see if it fits comfortably (or at all!).

Yes, "getting the watch on your wrist" will at least allow you to see what the case looks like on you, and see if 42mm or 38mm would be better, but it's useless for trying the Link Bracelet unless your wrist is just the right size for it to not need any links to be removed.

If I am going to spend from £819/$949 to £949/$1099 on an Apple Watch with Link Bracelet, I want to know that it will actually fit me properly, and how comfortable it is!

And as I said before, I'd assume others would feel the same. It's a fairly simple and obvious concept.

Why shouldn't resizing the Link Bracelet be part of the "experience"?

It is the obvious and sensible thing to do to ensure customer satisfaction, especially for a company such as Apple that is known for its customer focus.

Not allowing the Link Bracelet to be resized during try-on appointments would be rather ridiculous given that Apple itself says that the Apple Watch is its "most personal product yet, because it’s the first one designed to be worn".

As for trying a watch when visiting a jeweller... Not the same. One of the key features of the Link Bracelet is that the links are designed to be quick and easy to remove, without needing any special tools.

Just curious, how easy is it to pop the links on and off? How is it done? And will it effect the integrity of the bracelet?

It's super easy. Each link has a little release button on it that you just depress and slide apart one by one. Very similar to the mechanism that holds the band to the watch itself. Very elegant design which makes it really easy while still not easy to happen by accident.
