I'm not sure the deflated look is because of the shape. Apple created a lot of hype with their watch.

  I don't know about that. I don't just drop the Motorola mic and walk away. They ask about it and almost everyone has said something about why the Apple watch won't be round. These people weren't techies so I can see why they thought it might be made by Apple. But they all said they wanted to get the Apple watch and seemed to be let down when the one on my wrist wasn't the Apple watch.

    I know exactly the look you mean. It's typical modern "techie" fanaticism. I had people asking me if my first Android phone five years ago was an iPhone, and they exhibited a look that I also would only describe as "let down" or "disappointed". I use the word "techie" in quotes because, while many of those people would have described themselves as techies, I found they were really just consumers of technology. They had no functional knowledge of how anything worked or how to make anything themselves. To them, the only smartphone (or smartwatch) in existence was the Apple product, because to them the entire point was to brag about acquisition. Even within the demographic of programmers, you'll find "techies". They ask you what programming language or framework you used to build your project, then get disappointed when you didn't magically read their minds 6 months in the past and chose their darling flavor. I've got no use for such people.

      That's a lot of resentment you're carrying around there...
