I used to sell IBM PC XT/AT in the mid 80's; For my day job, Microsoft is our largest customer; Our production platform is all Microsoft and we just migrated the platform to the Azure cloud. So I'm not a blind fan-boy.

I use Apple products where I touch the technology and how I use it in my daily life. I'm big on surrounding myself with products that are pleasing to my eye and touch - like my 993, Cayenne, Japanese art, etc.

To answer your question, since the details are sparse I really don't know what I don't like about it yet. I fear it is too large for my skinny wrist; daily charging is a bit of a hassle. I'm sure there are other shortcomings - like my first 512K Fat Mac compared with my MacBook Pro/iPad/iPhone. So (aside from the personal aging it implies), I can't wait to see the Apple Watch in 2035.

I stand behind my original point: Apple makes products that people somehow innately want. Clearly, not everybody. But enough people to make it the most valuable company on the planet today. Capitalism tends to trump emotion, wouldn't you say.
