On: The Apple Watch

It's interesting that even gruber's review isn't all that positive.

>even gruber..

I don't think Gruber is particularly biased about Apple - they're just his area of speciality. He thinks very deeply about them, and has done for such a long time that he has an acute sense of them. But I think he calls them out fairly when he thinks they're wrong, whether that's policy decisions, devices, or software.

I don't know if it can be your area of speciality and not be biased. He's the definitive Apple fanboy

That's not wrong, but Apple's the only company he's treating fairly. So it's still "writing on a curve", if you will.

The Verge's review gives it 7/10 and says it often lags, emojis are creepy, etc.

But that's in a very over-produced review with a credits list of about 15 people!
