The editors didn't like

  • I can't believe Apple shipped this product with such a confusing interface. Sure hope it isn't hard to fix

  • Like it does in iOS?
  • Advertisement
  • Why does the screen shut off when
  • Doesn't do enough to the main app interface
  • Native apps slow to arrive
  • Autosensing for ending some workouts is too aggressive
  • LTE available only on stainless steel models
  • Settings like Theater Mode still don't mirror between iPhone and Apple Watch
  • Battery life not good enough for back country use

  • Watch OS is tricky to learn and the Apple Watch app can be flaky
  • Several actions
  • Including pulling up Glances
  • Opening apps
  • Or scrolling through emoji
  • Are consistently slow
  • Drawing
  • Tapping
  • And heartbeat-sending features are gimmicky
  • Pricing is rea
  • Many people say the Watch is too expensive
  • But I don't think the Watch Sport is too expensive for what it can do
  • Possibly an option online for either black or chrome loops for the Nylon & leather bands for all bands

  • WatchOS 5 drops support for Series 0 devices
  • New complications are only compatible with new watch faces
  • Still no support for third-party watch faces

  • Siri has trouble completing Shortcuts
  • It requires significant tech-savviness
  • May not replace your current fitness tracker
  • Thirdparty app and Glance performance is slow
  • Managing settings on iPhone can get tedious
  • Sluggish third party apps
  • 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
  • Takes time to learn interface
  • Time isn't always displayed
  • Can be sluggish to update apps
  • No GPS
  • It's fun
  • Trendy and actually useful
  • But is that enough to get you onboard
  • No way to hide built-in apps from the home screen
  • Many apps and glances are slow to load
  • Higher priced versions only differ in build materials

  • WatchOS is awkward
  • Unresponsive apps
  • The price jumped up a lot
  • Still very expensive
  • No third-party faces
  • Confusing and inconsistent UI
  • Few decent apps
  • Notifications can cause madness
  • Managing them burdensome
  • 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
