Did you buy Apple Watch? Tell us about it

Apple Watch in Apple store

Today we closed our poll asking readers if they would purchase the first fruit from the field tended by Tim Cook. Apple Watch marks the era of new gadgetry developed on the CEO's, er, watch. Sales started today, which effectively meant preordering two weeks ago. All three models are sold out from the company's online store, which lists ship dates as "June" for orders placed April 24.

Are you one of the lucky Apple Watch buyers? That's assuming you feel lucky. Two-thousand forty-nine people responded to our poll, with a stunning (and, honestly, unbelievable) 42 percent planning to buy the gadget. Really? Someone wants this gadget.

Meanwhile, 32 respondents say they will buy the Edition model, which price ranges from $10,000 to $17,000. Assuming an average selling price of $12,000, those nearly three-dozen buyers are worth $384,000 to Apple. Ah, is that all.

A finding that is somewhat validating, the final number of poll respondents is consistently split between the other two timepieces: 21 percent for Sport and 19 percent the stainless steel wearable. Fifty-four percent of you give Apple Watch a no -- 13 percent because you either own a smartwatch or plan to buy another. I'm among this group -- purchasing Moto 360 on Valentine's Day for use with Nexus 6.

If you bought the Apple Watch, please indulge our curiosity by explaining why. If you truly love the thing, your response could cause others to order, too. Please tell us:

  • Which model you bought and with what band
  • The price you paid Apple for the privilege
  • What do you like about the timepiece
  • What do you dislike about the watch
  • Would you recommend it?
  • Photo link, perhaps?

The latter also is for verification purposes, so that everyone reading the response knows you aren't some bullshitter trolling for attention. Respond to as much or as little as you like, but, please, tell us something about your Apple Watch experience. Comment away!
