Non-watch wearers have an open wrist, and if they cared about the glance-able convenience of an always-visible watch dial, they would be wearing a traditional watch already. Watch wearers, on the other hand, already have something on their wrist that Apple Watch needs to replace, and the reason they already have a watch on their wrist is that they care about telling time at a glance \u2014 something Apple Watch is (and only ever will be, I suspect) merely OK at, not great at.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The last time I wore a watch was back in college. I stopped wearing it when the glass face cracked for some unknown reasons. I have pre-ordered an Apple Watch Sport, 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band. At this point in time, I do not know if I would wear the Apple Watch or any watches after the learning period. I had been getting a lot of questions from friends and acquaintances if Apple Watch is for them. My answer is always &#8220;it&#8217;s not for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The other question I get a lot is if they should wait for the next version of Apple Watch because some reviews say &#8220;skip Apple watch this time, because the next one will be better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>II would be really worried if the next version of Apple Watch would be worse that the current model.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel like getting an Apple Watch now, then get it. Well, you have to wait until June for the earliest delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Watch pre-order started at roughly 12:01 a.m. on April 10, 2015.
