Surprised it took so long. Hodinkee has produced several great articles on the Apple Watch since the watch's debut.

I've never read anything directly on their site but I thought I recall 'hearing' that Hodinkee were anything but proponents of the Apple Watch, at least early on, as it flew in the face of mechanical watch traditionalists.
They recently did a very detailed piece on the design of the solar watch face. You should check it out if you have the time. It's a good read.

Also, I think what you "heard" about were the Hodinkee readers. The Hodinkee team liked the the Apple Watch but their readers absolutely hated it at first. They even had several advertisers pull out when they decided to feature Jony Ive on their magazine.

Here’s their editors thoughts from when the Apple Watch was first revealed. It’s mostly positive with just a few reservations noted at the end.
