Hands on: Why trying an Apple Watch made me want to buy one

I had a $17,000 Apple Watch Edition (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-watch/apple-watch-edition) strapped to my wrist today. Rose gold. 38mm. (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-watch/apple-watch-edition?product=MJ3K2LL/A&amp;step=detail) Rose gray strap that felt like butter, with a modern buckle also in solid 18-carat gold. It was beautiful.

Why? It’s the software, silly! The Apple Watch’s apps (http://www.macworld.com/article/2894519/how-apps-like-instagram-and-uber-will-work-on-apple-watch.html), glances, and notifications are so easy to use and well-thought-out that once I started tapping, pressing, and scrolling around the tiny display, I quickly forgot what materials were in the case and strap. Here’s what I found so compelling in my brief demo time, and why I’m looking forward to strapping an Apple Watch (Sport, natch) onto my wrist come April 24.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2894759/hands-on-why-trying-an-apple-watch-made-me-want-to-buy-one.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
