The Apple Watch reviews are (quietly) brutal

Another version of the FUD article I posted this to yesterday:

---

Slow apps, low battery life limit appeal of Apple Watch: reviewers

Interesting FUD article. . . taking minor negative quibble quotes out of context from generally positive reviews to make this FUD article you linked to which I have no doubt was commissioned by Samsung. Try reading the REAL reviews from reviewers all of whom have actually used the Apple Watch for a week for better balance than your cherry picked negative comment FUD article .

My first week with the Apple Watch — Ben Bajarin — TechPinions

What the Apple Watch Does Best: Make You Look Good — Laura Stern — New York Times

The Apple Watch - A Day in the Life — Nilay Patel — The Verge

Apple Watch Review: The Smartwatch Finally Makes Sense — Geoffery A. Fowler — The Wall Street Journal

The Apple Watch: Half Computer, Half Jewelry, Mostly Magical — David Pogue — Yahoo Tech

Apple Watch Review: Bliss, but Only After a Steep Learning Curve — Farhead Manjoo — New York Times

Apple Watch Review: You’ll Want One, but You Don’t Need One
The company has succeeded in making the world's best smartwatch — Joshua Topolsky — Bloomberg News

I'll buy the Apple Watch — Edward C. Baig — USA TODAY

If you want balance then this article is required reading to your cherry picked generally positive reviews.

Btw what is FUD. Your posts and replies are generally confusing.

I read your WSJ link. If your brain is only 25-50% functional you need one. This Cupertino smart watch will shrink peoples brain power.

I say: Achtung Apple fanbois! Buy two. One for you and one for your gay boyfriend.

Hipsters and bored urbanites. Go buy this latest essential crap!

Your first link is botched. It should be My first week with the Apple Watch — Ben Bajarin — TechPinions.

So let’s see:

NY Times
WSJ
Yahoo
NY Times
Bloomberg
USA Today

These are the sources for your positives? Some of the most liberal outlets (with the possible... and I stress possible... exception of the WSJ) in the media, with a proven track record of getting things (purposely) wrong?

Would you use any of those sources to argue a political point? Oh, wait, you don’t argue political points. I have to go pages and pages into your posting history in order to get to anything that isn’t Apple related or general interest (i.e. not political).

So my guess here is that you are a paid (or unpaid) Apple social marketer. I’ve seen this on several other forums, too. General non-controversial posts that fit with the general theme of the website, followed by tons of Apple-specific marketing and defense. It’s a standard nowadays (approaching the Rush “seminar callers” level).

So let’s broaden this conversation a bit, shall we? Just to see what it is that attracts you to FR...

Should gay marriage be recognized by the federal government? Should it be forced on the states by judicial order? Is gay marriage morally wrong? Is gay sex morally wrong?

Who is your preferred candidate for 2016? Why? What attracts you to them and their platform?

Is abortion murder? Should it be legal?

Should tax dollars be used to subsidize corporations and their products? How much influence should companies have on the making of laws and regulations?

What federal agency would you most like to see abolished?

Based on your interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, what should guns laws and regulations be like at both the federal and state level?

Let’s make sure we’re talking to an actual fellow conservative here with a (obsessive) hobby, and not some marketing bot whose nighttime job is defending Apple on a myriad of websites...
