“Far from being a superfluous device strictly for hard-core Apple fans, the Apple Watch is a surprisingly delightful and useful device,” Rob LeFebvre writes for Cult of Mac.
“Now that we’ve spent enough time with the latest gadget from the mothership, we’re noticing quite a few sweet little positives (and a couple negatives) about Apple Watch,” LeFebvre writes. “Bottom line: The more you use this thing, the better it is.”
“We’ve gotten next to no comments on our fancy new Apple Watches; more people commented on our massive iPhone 6 and 6 Pluses than on our smartwatches,” LeFebvre writes. “That’s a good thing, though, since it doesn’t feel like you have a gaudy tech device on your wrist.

MacDailyNews Take: It depends where you are. If you walk into a Best Buy or a Fry’s with a visible Apple Watch, you will get questions.

That’s what she said…
Or what he thinks, “they’re a lot smaller than they looked”
It’s so hard to tell if AppleWatch is doing well in sales. There seems to be quite a number of negative articles about it. Anyway, it’s good to read something positive about it and be assured Apple hasn’t wasted a lot of time and effort for nothing. That high-profile AppleWatch has been a lightning rod for disappointed tech pundits.
I am to receive my watch May 13-27:(. I got an email yesterday saying it shipped, and I will have it today, yahoo!!😄
I love my watch. The only issue I have is that the phone hand off to the Apple Watch will not work if you are using Wifi calling. This is very annoying.
