I’m looking forward to getting mine!

I say that with some fear, because there are a lot of crabby old geezers on this forum who will immediately surge forth to tell you they have the same watch they bought for $3.00 in 1952 - but who cares about their $3.00 watch?

I don’t know why they are so obsessed with posting insults if they’re theoretically not even interested in the product. Anyway, they should remember that once upon a time, the $3.00 watch was new technology and many people probably thought it was pretentious and above your station to have a watch anyway. Silly Luddites!

They don't have a life or friends beyond this, I'd imagine. It's the only way they can get anyone to respond to them. They think the feedback they get is demonstrative of their fact they are alive. . . sort of like the feeling taggers get for putting their ugly graffiti on walls everywhere, destroying the beauty of things others built. . . or spitting in the punch bowl at a party, thinking it's funny. The only people who find it funny are other 13 year old juveniles.

IMHO, they are obsessed with posting their insults because they suffer from Apple Derangement Syndrome (ADS). It’s the same cast of ADS sufferers who show up over and over with their insults, misinformation and lies. Mama would have said “those folks are strange...stay away from them”.
