Apple Watch and durability: How tough are Apple’s finishes?

Apple Watch verdicts: What other reviewers say about the smartwatch
A running compilation of all the un-embargoed pre-release Apple Watch reviews. No syncing of podcasts? Sounds like the software is slow and needs work. Hopefully the hardware has some room to grow. The next version needs GPS and an emergency call option self-contained (or better, the ability to make calls over an old or low-data rate network). Anyone else think those videos of Christy Turlington Burns out running with the Apple Watch AND an iPhone 6 strapped to her arm are not exactly a positive example of the watch in action?
The Apple Watch
I look at other people’s watches to tell the time (often sneakily). Apple Watch is going to screw that up.
iPhone Killer: The Secret History of The Apple Watch
Another thing to charge every day? Seriously? If it really does reduce the time we spend looking at our phones…maybe my wife will get me one for father’s day ;-). Also see this interesting comparison to Disney’s MagicBand.
Samsung Galaxy 6
The iPhone 6 is the best phone available right now. But this seems like the best Android imitation, if you’re into Android. (I wouldn’t pony up for the ‘edge’ version though.) Making a new OS successful from scratch (meaning have it be widely adopted) is a remarkable achievement. Read some new tidbits in this recent article: the rise of android.
Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader
Like for many, the “official” biography of Jobs by Walter Isaacson was deeply disappointing. Clearly clueless about technology in general, he also missed the emotion that we all knew was there. At the time I wished that David McCullough had got the job; not as ridiculous an idea as you might think. This book, finally, gets it right, and is a must read.
