The reviews on the Apple Watch are just one more reminder that the Jobsian era of Apple is long, long gone. If the reviews are any indication, the Watch is a beta product that’s been given wide release:
* Manjoo says the Watch, unlike the iPhone or iPad, is not for “tech novices.” “There’s a good chance it will not work perfectly for most consumers right out of the box, because it is best after you fiddle with various software settings to personalize use. ”
* “The Uber app didn’t load for me, the Twitter app is confusing and the app for Starwood hotels mysteriously deleted itself and then hung up on loading when I reinstalled it.”
* “The truth is, navigation is a big Watch weakness. There aren’t any visual clues that more options are waiting if you force-press, or that anything will happen when you turn the knob. You eventually learn, but only by trial and error. And every time you force-press or turn the knob and nothing happens, you feel like a dolt.”
