He's trying to claim that the watch interface isn't sharp. I don't know if that's true or not (I have never seen an Apple Watch) but it's downright mendacious to illustrate this claim with a grotesquely high-ISO, grainy image which makes the watch display look as bad as possible.

I tried on the watch, and while the screen isn't as vector-sharp as the press photos, it also doesn't look anything like that photo.

I agree that that's a very unflattering image, but it's purpose is to highlight the start difference between the marketing pics (which clearly show vector interfaces) and the reality of a pixelated display. Also, I think more of the unflattering-ness of the picture is due to the actually poor interface than the quality of the picture.

  The digital crown looks about as pixelated and processed as the actual display pixels. I'd like to see a much better picture before I trusted anything in this image at all.

Why not show an Apple Watch screenshot at its native resolution, or even scaled up 2x? That would be a more honest way to demonstrate the resolution of the Apple Watch (which in my opinion is the least of its issues).

According to https://www.apple.com/watch/technology/ https://www.apple.com/watch/technology/ it has a Retina display, and I don't think I've heard anyone complaining about a Retina iPhone's grainy, unpleasant screen.

Having actually been to the lab and used some watches for an entire day, I can confidently say the picture he posted doesn't do the display justice. It looks really good and vibrant and the resolution is very high - higher than the original iPhone packed into a much smaller space.
