For what it's worth, I've been wearing an Apple Watch from the start and have never been "defined by a talking point on my wrist." Most people seem to either not notice it or not care. Honestly, I've seen so few Apple Watches in the wild, despite owning one I'm more likely to ask people about their experiences if I see someone wearing one. Because it's led to some interesting conversations. But, anyway. Many of the problems listed will be solved over time. Some won't. The Apple Watch as it stands is, in my mind, a beta-level product. It's very imperfect, but it's attractive if you're an early-adopter sort. (Side note: For some reason the title of the article really bugs me. Like it's out to make a really dramatic moment out of the fairly mundane decision to stop using a gadget. When I replaced my old phone with a newer model, I didn't "divorce my old phone." When I rent a Zipcar I don't have a "torrid afternoon affair, after which we vow to never see each other again.")
