“The latest Wristly survey confirms an astonishing 94 percent of existing Apple Watch customers are still satisfied with their devices,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld.
“That’s a big deal, even though Apple Watch sales have reportedly slowed pending the fall software update,” Evans writes. “Apple isn’t the only watchmaker feeling the flatness, Swiss watch industry exports fell faster than ever before in 1H 2016, and all eyes now are on Apple this fall when new software and potentially new watch designs may be in the frame.”
“The researchers also found that most Apple Watch users continue to wear their watch every day,” Evans writes. “With so many people wearing their Watch on a daily basis, you’d be forgiven for expecting to hear reports of damaged devices. You’ll be disappointed if you are waiting for those — 95 percent of users say their Watch remains in at least good condition.”

MacDailyNews Take: Apple Watch is one of the very best Apple products we’ve ever owned.
Oh man YEAH!!
Surprisingly, Apple continues not to mention the number of actual Apple Watches sold.
95% of purchasers or 95% of people who are still wearing them?
The “researchers” failed to report the number of persons surveyed, how these persons were selected, the actual response rate, the limitations and biases of the survey, nor provided any discussion relating to rigorous statistical analysis. This “report” lacks even the most minimal description of methods used in serious statistical analysis. Treat this author’s comments as the crap journalism it is. Anyone with an understanding of true research would reject this report as total garbage.
“Anyone with an understanding of Frank-approved research would reject this report as total garbage.”
Pretty much as we regard any of your posts.
I mentioned that persons with education, training, and experience would have the intelligence to understand what rigorous analysis actually is. This excludes the ignorant and dim witted like you, bloody pecker.
My my, temper temper. And boorishly repetitious to boot. Perhaps it was not a good idea to quit attending school after third grade after all, eh Franky?
Why don’t you explain why or why not this “article” has met the criteria for scientific legitimacy? I am certain you would fail, cretin.
Sorry you have already demonstrated enough fail here to last a lifetime.
You can’t explain because you don’t understand.
No, I don’t care. You’re the kid in class with his hand jutted & gesticulating wildly in the air in a desperate plea for smug attention. Only to be pantsed and wedgied after class. Truly sad.
You obviously don’t care to explain your reasoning because you lack the intelligence to do so. I don’t need your attention, I just want you to admit that your lack of intelligence is a personal character flaw that you boast about. You are the first person I have ever met who regards their intellectual inadequacies as a badge of honor.
I don’t owe you a goddamned thing moron. Ditto right back atcha. You’re are in fact a know-nothing social misfit doofus and are doomed to play that role the rest of your life. Badge of dishonor indeed, for you. Only you aren’t the first fool and likely not the last.
You don’t owe me anything, but you do owe yourself the honesty to admit that you are incapable of answering my questions because you don’t understand them. That’s all right. Not everyone is capable of understanding the principles and methods of conducting, analyzing, and reporting effective and legitimate surveys. Instead of being critical of others who do have the training, education, and experience you simply need to admit that you are ignorant. That’s all.
You are contradicting yourself but again you don’t understand many concepts. On the one hand you say I don’t owe you an explanation and on the other you say I do. Frankly you understand little but prefer to blather and flounder about boasting the expertise of a kindergartner who’s been drinking. Maybe someday you will finish your schooling and get the sort of education you desperately need. Sadly nothing much can be done about your puerile personality, sociopathically speaking.
Spade a Spade is just another pseudonym for the hiding idiots who flitter about and inhabit these parts like little mental gnats trying to tear down regulars with their little cowardly hit comments. I really feel sorry for these types who mistake a regular intelligent vocabulary as unusual. Unusual for THEM to be sure. Monosyllabicism is a religion to them, as is Tarzanese. Slobbering knuckle dragging pariahs. You can see what happens to those so repugnant they are without friends.
Here’s another (or the same) hapless anonymous idiot on the prowl brazenly showing off his ineptitude and poor writing and speaking skills in the most boastful infantile fashion. Another know-nothing moron who should never should have been given access to a computer. The type of jerk who actually thinks he’s got anything to offer up except specious stupidity. Another long suffering Dunning-Kruger candidate who’s every word is another nail in his cretin coffin. They don’t come any dumber or more unlearned than this guy. This moron thinks saying learned words out of the dictionary is plagiarism or something! I’m sorry Panzy Man but I can’t really talk down to your simplistic and basement dwelling video game loving level.
No it sums YOU up loser, all too well. Only a true moron would post such a thing. You’re a shameless poseur of intelligence, lacking none.
You win the superior intellect award too! Never have I seen prose like this that was written with such feverish fluidity and genius wordplay. A master at work! It must have taken years of linguistic and grammatical study to place such cutting remarks in just such a sequence heretofore never seen. I didn’t know true trolls like you could be so erudite and yet total dipshits at the same time.
What’s a standrad vocabulary for me as an also sometimes writer is your missing education in action. You should be ashamed of yourself. Hardly out of context. Love your attempts to obfuscate my prose intent in a convenient but false way only fit for an ignorant doofus. I am a regular contributor to this site and with normal people here it’s nothing out of the ordinary. With anonymous troll morons like you and others here only to create trouble it becomes the battlefield and I make no apologies challenging you. Make no mistake they and you are the real problem. Just stay away and all will be well. Heretofore this site for many years was a pretty calm one. When you cretins showed up is when all this puerile nonsense began. So kindly shove off and create your infantile mischief elsewhere.
Oh, the irony.
“Frank” RANTS about scientific legitimacy, while making his points with “ignorant”, “dim witted”, “cretin” and much more.
And irony of ironies — “I am certain you would fail”. Oooookay, “Frank”, what were the “limitations and biases of your survey”? I’m sorry to say, your declaration lacks even the “most minimal description of methods used in serious statistical analysis”.
99 percent of people who purchase an Apple Watch are still wearing them, the survey claims.
This clearly suggests that despite the deafening anti hype you hear from the empty vessels of this world, for the majority of users the existing product is not so bad — and watchOS 3 will unleash (or should) word of mouth recommendations.
Read the story.
The article lacks the basic components, features, and legitimacy of credible research. You obviously are too ignorant to understand this. Apple fanboys are truly the most willfully ignorant people. It isn’t surprising that people like you are so gullible.
Yes Franky has self-appointed overseer dominance regarding credible research techniques and accuracy. Like Wile E. Coyote he is SUCH a genius in his own mind and like Wile E. is tripped up by that at-odds irony every time. Oh well whaddyah expect from someone who graduated from Doofus U. with a minor in bloviating insufferableness.
Interesting that you should mention Wile E. Coyote. I have a silly theory about him, and his place in the technology biz.
In order to trap the Roadrunner, the Coyote comes up with many wonderfully ingenious ideas—fantastic innovations. Yet all his plans and schemes backfire. Why? Because he invariably uses Acme gear to implement them! — Venture capitalists are secretly subsidising the Coyote’s vendetta against the smug, terminally annoying Roadrunner, who represents Apple. The Acme devices are all those “iPod/iPhone/iPad killers” that failed over the years.
The cartoons all deliver the same moral: troll all you want; it’s you who ends up as roadkill.
Wow, interestingly said. Those like Frank who live in assholic Glass Houses just aren’t bright enough to realize their own foibles, tripping themselves up and every one of their words blows up in their faces. There’s so much vitriol and bitterness in his posts they defeat whatever purpose he sets up for himself. It’s like listening to the sour remarks of Enenezer Scrooge and Mr. Potter all day. The message is lost because the source is so polluted. Thanks!
But, but, he called you “gay” (and, in fact, “gay married”), “childish” and a “fucking lobotomized moron”.
Doesn’t that mean he wins?
I wasn’t sure the child had enough brain power to realize you were being sarcastic Sean.
How old are you? “You’re gay”. “You’re gay”. “You’re gay”. “You’re gay”. Wowwwww! What intellect!
I mean, come on…. “Sean is a bigger fag than peter.” That’s what you’ve got?
Seriously – I mean it. How old are you? I really want to know.
Oh yeah you’re right, I bow to such witty repartee and stable superior intellect.
One great news after 101 bad news won’t save AAPL from tanking on Tuesday evening. Unless, Apple needs miracles for its rally.
Can’t complain. left the watch in my trousers and put it through a wash and dry cycle.
After letting it cool down and then recharging, it was as good as new barring a few scratches.
I’m a happy Apple Watch owner. I use it everyday to track my movement, use it with Blizzard authenticator, listen to music during my walks, and keep track of the weather. 🙂
