Didn't we hear Apple Watch was all about fashion?
Guess not.

I do not get how this site is focused on Apple products and yet people here have only negative things to say about the Apple Watch. Instead of degrading the product tell us what you would like to change about it? Or if the product just isn't for you don't post, just like an Iphone 6 Plus is not for me!
It seems to me that its the same people wearing a regular 300$ watch saying "they don't need an apple watch" Well guess what, your regular watch only tells you the time as does your phone, so I guess you don't need that either.
The watch is a quality product which should have been released with os 2.0. Although software you can fix, and there is not much to complain about concerning hardware. I can see only benefits from this post, as Best Buy creates competitive prices and more availability.

Best Buy? Classy!
Many Best Buys do have a mini Apple Store. It makes sense that they sell it in those mini shops.

So far I've seen one person wearing an Apple Watch. Hopefully soon I'll see two people wearing Apple Watches!

there are way more Best Buy's in remote areas (think places like Pennsylvania for example
People in Pennsylvania are still trying to figure out how to use electricity.
