a few days ago two of my friends were posting facebook updates about going to the crapple store and trying on different watches to choose the right band and using words that tragic people use to describe high fashion and it was all really embarrassing

every single critique of apple is always followed by this preamble:

I have owned 8 iPhones. I’ve been using a Mac since 1996. For my birthday when I was a kid, my Mom took me to the MacWorld Expo in Boston. I write iPhone apps. I’m a die-hard Apple person.


edit: lol this guy says he's fat and the watch is too small

quote:

However, when Apple says that the Apple Watch is 42mm, they’re measuring it from top-to-bottom. From side-to-side it’s only 35.9mm wide which is tiny in the world of men’s watches and actually closer to a woman’s watch size.

it's too small, it's almost A WOMAN'S WATCH:qq:

I thought the display was fine as well. I didn't press my eyeball to the demo or display device because that is creepy.

I did think the device was smaller than I imagined, but got over it pretty quick because I don't like big watches.

it's literally more acceptable to grab a quick look at your phone than to look at your watch, so
