HuffPo Roundup Explains Apple Watch Criticisms
Tech writers have tried the new Apple Watch in the hours since its unveiling, and they’re not giving it great notices.
Many complain that it’s complicated and confusing to use. After all, there’s a lot going on with the Apple Watch: It has a “digital crown,” a button, and a touch screen to mess around with — plus, a total of 2 million possible customizations for the clock itself.

I don’t know if I’m going to be able to wrap my head around this thing after all. Those two million Faces customizations are going to make navigating the Apple Watch OS really difficult, and I’m pretty intimidated by that touchscreen. (I barely have a decade’s experience with those.) And that Digital Crown? Good luck making the huge mental connection between “spin” and “scroll.”
