MacDailyNews Take: But according to wearable dog dish maker Huawei, Jony Ive’s Apple Watch design is “clumsy.” Whom to believe?
Hmmm, …
“Is that a salad dressing bottle cap with a watch band or do you have a Huawei?”
Crabapple’s unsolicited judgement is that the dog dish maker’s observation is correct. Mr. Ive is clumsy!

Spyinthesky thinks talking in the third person is a little scary. Shivers!
not bad for someone in their first trimester!
I thought I was going to be one of those people who was going to hold out until Apple Watch 2, because I don’t really need the Apple Watch, having every other Apple Device, but when it really comes down to it, resistance is futile.
Meanwhile Hauwei are just hoping there is a shortage of hockey pucks to give their watch a boost.
