I read that a dozen times. A watch was too small to read, and didn’t have enough battery to last. That’s why Jobs never did it. Both things are still true.
The watch is merely a cash flow device. Apple has been on a self serving kick for some time now. Locking out SSD’s, pushing out crapware that you can’t remove, buggy/not ready OS releases, just name a few. This iteration of the watch is going to die in peoples dresser drawers.
I have absolutely no trouble reading my 42mm Apple Watch. . . and Thursday I am having cataract surgery on my right eye. . . yet I can read the watch right now with that eye. Perhaps your eyes are worse than mine. But you don't know what you are talking about in general.
As for battery life, you also don't know what you are talking about. I put the watch on when I get up in the morning, use it throughout the day, and when I go to bed at 1AM or 2AM, I out the watch on to charge there is between 60% and 70% charge left. So much for that meme the Apple Watch won't last a day.
Apple doesn't need a "cash flow device". Apple has more cash than it knows what to do with having $200 billion in cash in the bank. That's more than 75% of the NATIONS in the world are worth. Third party SSDs work now. I have never seen "crapware" from Apple. There are Apple software that you cannot remove, but it is generally not "crapware." I will grant you a couple of not quite ready for prime time for SOME users OS releases but those users were fewer than 1% of the installed base and they were satisfied within a few weeks. You tend to focus on the glass being half-empty. . . and the complaints of the smallest minority reports.
