Mike Rundle tried on an Apple Watch and came away with three disappointments:

• The Apple Watch is smaller than he expected
• He didn’t like the leather band
• He thought the screen was not as bright/responsive as he had hoped

I think Mike is a smart guy, has deep Apple cred, and lays out his complaints with great logic.

That said, I would read his piece, but I would not let these points stop you from checking out Apple Watch for yourself. That’d be like letting IMDB make all your movie watching decisions. Read his review, keep those points in mind, then make an appointment to check the Apple Watch out for yourself.
