The editors didn't like
Battery only lasts a little more than a day. Most models and configurations cost more than they should. Requires an iPhone to work. Interface can be confusing. Many apps load slowly. Lacks built-in GPS
Long load times on third party apps
Steep learning curve
Expensive
Expensive at any level
Battery life is one day
Missing many key apps
Expensive… very expensive
Battery could be a little better
Apps can fail too easily
Premium pricing
A day battery life
Thick watch body
Lacks swim-ready water resistance and onboard GPS found in Series 2 models. Only comes in aluminum models
Starting prices are higher than last year. Battery life still won't last past two days. Watch face options are still very limited in choice and function. Only works with iPhones

Finely crafted hardware, Strong app support, Lots of personalization options, Easy-to-use fitness tracking, Best smartwatch available
Third-party apps can feel sluggish, Some users will crave more control over notification settings, Expensive
The Watch is the nicest smartwatch available, but it's more status symbol than wearable revolutionary. Most of the Watch's features can be categorized as nice to have (at best) or superfluous (at worst). As such, if you're not enamored with the Watch's a...

New, intuitive technologies for interaction, Hardware design with great band options, Notifications and good builtin apps, Apple Pay integration
Sluggish third party apps
Interestingly, when people saw us with the watch, they would exclaim, "Oh, you got the watch!" Not the Apple Watch, the iWatch, or some other variation, just "the watch." Then, nine times out of ten, people would follow up with the question, "what do you...
Abstract: If you're on the fence about the Apple Watch , there are certainly no shortage of reviews to help guide your decision. Still, the vast majority of reviews that came in the wake of Apple's embargo being lifted a few weeks ago were either too short to be te...

Limited nature compared to iOS devices will make device feel like unnecessary toy to some. Users might find price too high when compared to other wearables. Requires Bluetooth connection to iPhone for most features. Overall speed is lacking — it takes abo

Abstract: When you have an Apple Watch on your wrist you automatically turn into a bit of a tool. My arm was doing totally unnecessary maneuvers — hair flicking all over town, reaching for things I didn't need and I kept purposely pushing my sleeves up.It was Frida...
Eyecatching, highquality design, Works seamlessly with iPhone, Enables you to stop looking at your phone so much, Great thirdparty app support thus far
Fitness sensors are only tuned for cardio
Nearly five years ago to the day, I reviewed the original iPad. It was clearly the start of something new, but it was too early to tell how developers would evolve to fully exploit the new platform. I'd say the Apple Watch is similar in that regard. This ...
