I was thinking about the reception of the latest Apple Watch ("Series 3").
The Watch had some issues with Wifi common-use scenarios that Apple testers failed to anticipate (obviously they wouldn't want these devices connecting to random coffeeshop hubs, etc.); this resulted in many of the reviewers having ongoing connection problems, which led to a lot of "this will be really cool when they work out the kinks" reviews.
Compare to the early work on iPhone X: a bunch of "normals" just gushing about how cool it is. The initial messaging is undeniably better.
Personally, I chalk it up to an experiment that they can afford, largely due to your #1 observation.

- ecesena 9y agoI see I’m getting downvoted and don’t really understand why, the parent comment asks about experience with the watch and I was sharing mine with the cellular version. I could copy & paste the article here, but what’s the point of the www then.
- Doxin 9y agoThe GP comment is'n /about/ the apply watch. Plugging your review on a comment that's only tangentially related to the apple watch might come off as crass self-advertising to some.
