Has just been thrown out the window lol.

I mean I'm not saying its gonna be iPhone bad, but I will deff be pulling out my iPad & my desktop alongside my iPhone and my mac for this pre-order now lol.

I think these reviews, positive or not, has done a lot for the popularity of the watch and will bring in way more people than they will deter.

Who else is a bit more worried now? :D
 
I think some people might have gotten scared off from the reviews - I'm actually thinking the biggest problem is that in an effort to extend the battery life, Apple has had to dial down the cpu activity.

I suspect the easiest improvement for the v2 Apple Watch will be making a faster cpu. They've done that consistently with every iPhone.

For that reason I've decided to wait until I can demo one in person; I think the Verge's concern about how slow operations on the watch would drive me nuts. I may still pick one up this generation, but I'm no longer going to be part of the first-wave of pre-orders.

So I think you have less reason to be worried. You'll probably be able to get your watch on April 24th without too much trouble.
