That is a completely absurd and ridiculous statement that has absolutely no proof behind it other than a strange logic that escapes common sense and rationality.

Agreed but I love the watch. What's annoying about notifications for me is having to take the phone out of my pocket to see what's triggering it. The watch eliminates the need for that. It's great to have my phone in my pocket or on the charger at home but to be able to read my text messages and respond back or to know whose calling.
Call quality is rough but being able to have the option to take a call on your watch when the phone is charging in another room is nice. Plus just because you get a notification on your phone doesn't mean you have to allow it to appear on the watch. I want to be notified on the watch of incoming calls, texts and weather advisories. I don't want to be notified of anything else and I've configured it so I'm not. I also love the integration while I'm using Apple Maps for directions. With the radio on in my car I can't hear Siri but I can feel the haptic engine.
The health and fitness features plus the features outlined above have made the Watch more than worth the cost for me but I can see why it wouldn't be worth it for many. My wife and I don't have kids and don't plan on having any so we have more disposable income than many couples with children.
I definitely think experiences very. I own two models in the first generation Apple Watch, and it's plenty fast. I have no third-party applications installed. And it runs stock and I think it has little lag. And for comparison, I own the second Apple Watch generation and it's not that much faster than the first one.
I think it depends on how you use your Apple Watch and for what purpose. But third-party applications are not always optimized as they should be for the Apple Watch and that can contribute slowdowns.
And watchOS 3 has greatly improved the performance the speed of the first generation Apple Watch.

That is why it still cannot replace my trusty and tough G-shock watch...sadly...
On the other hand, the Sony's smartwatch's battery can last about 3 days. Wondering why the Apple watch cannot even come close to that.
Yes, I agree with basically everything you mention here. For me, I rarely wear the watch anymore outside of the gym, so I think I would appreciate the reduced weight of the sport, for my next watch. If something changes, and this becomes a daily driver again, I do prefer the look of the Stainless for an every day device at the office.

Did you ask for a replacement unit? Early on, they were only sending these for depot repairs. Returns/exchanges had to be handled by the retailer you bought from, if not Apple directly. Not sure if this has changed.
Interesting.
Neither companies showed detail specs in size. But the weight is not much difference where the Sony is 45g for the core unit, and the Apple Watch 2 range from 28.2g for the aluminum case 38mm all the way to 45.6g for the ceramic 42mm case.
But the battery life difference is like 3 times!
Something does not add up.
