Why is this infuriating? It should be expected: it's just like this with all Apple stuff. You use it the way they want you to, or you don't use it at all. If you want something customizable, you don't get an Apple.
Heck, I'd be surprised if any LCD-faced watches allow custom watch faces, but Apple is the last company I'd ever expect this from.
- lxgr 3y agoIt can be both expected and infuriating, no? I otherwise really like the Apple Watch, and it doesn’t bother me nearly enough to switch to a different smartwatch.
- shiroiuma 3y agoIf I find something "infuriating", I'm most likely not going to buy it, unless I don't have much of a choice. "Infuriating" is a strong word. If something just isn't as good as I'd like it to be, I'd call that "annoying". I have a mechanical keyboard, and it doesn't tilt quite as much as I'd like. Otherwise, I like it, so I just sat the back of it on some spacers to raise it a bit. It's "slightly annoying", at most, that the keyboard didn't have enough height-adjustment range built-in to avoid this, but I certainly wouldn't call it "infuriating". That would be when the product just breaks irrepairably a day after the warranty ends.
