Annoying Problems With the Apple Watch

As with any new product out on the market, the first time it is there, it goes through a sort of consumer test. The company will then know what the most obscure problems are. From the get go, the Apple Watch is complicated to set up. They say it has 16 steps but then there is a small disclaimer that says they are not comprehensive. Great, there goes a whole afternoon. Once you get it all set up and good to go, you realize that even though the screen does not get scratched up, it can shatter when dropped. The sides do get all kinds of scratches. So you wrap it up in bubble wrap. Next thing that will come to your attention is that it will drain you battery, fast. The mobile applications on it are adapted from the iPhone which can sometimes make them awkward to view on the small screen. Lastly, there have been reports that it does not charge. When you take you new toy out of the box and it will not charge is something akin to your car not starting in the middle of the desert in Botswana. I'm just saying.

  1. There needs to be a better way to control all those mobile applications on the watch. Have you seen what the Android one can do?

  2. Can you really even get gaming applications for the watch? The screen is just so small.

  3. I like the Android smartwatches much better. The software and mobile applications are so much better.

  4. As great as wearables are, the market is going to go to virtual reality and AR. The mobile applications on those watches are just so hard to see.
