Cool, to be fair its size isn't that bad considering everything thats in the watch, again battery life is the worrying issue
So don't forget your charger. Phones tend to not last as long, so you need them too.

The apple videos of the watch are stunning but the hands on videos make it look really nasty. I hope this is just awful lighting

Notice how thick it is 
Front the front it looks subtle but from the side it looks like the original iPhone in terms of first-gen bulk.

mmm, you are all forgetting, starting at $349 for the basic Apple Watch. Probably the smaller one too.
The Apple Watch Edition large will be at least $700
Check the promo on the website for the different types.
But it does look good, just way way too expensive.

I was wondering what people were moaning about initially, as it looks nice from the front, certainly nicer than other square face smart watches.
Then I saw a side shot of it and I realised. Ugh it looks bad from the side.
Did they fire all their designers? Love or hate apple you know you know with a new product its gonna look nice at least
..well until now at least
Havent they just painted this watch white

The ergonomics of using a side dial on a watch as a navigation tool has to be one of the most stupid implementations I have seen.
It has a heart rate monitor on the underside so has to be done up quite tightly for that to function. But once you have done that how are you meant to manipulate that dial with the watch on your wrist?
Awkward as hell unless you take the watch off at which point you may as well be using your phone.

Until you actually use it, all of your points are completely baseless....
They are based on having watches that need to be adjusted with a dial.
Alternatively the watch is so fat that it raises the dial a sufficient height from your arm to be used. At which point it stops following normal watch form conventions in lieu of being some cubic wrist thing!
If you look at the images, its quite clear that the crown sits off centre, so its higher up, away from the wrist:

Thinking about it, the only trick that seems to be missing here is how it works for left handed people....?
Perhaps the orientation of the display can just be inverted and the watch strap connectors placed on the opposite ends.
