| Apple Watch lets you switch between the unusable hexagonal grid and a list. I’ve been an Apple Watch user for over ten years and switched from the grid to the list as soon as that was an option. Also, thanks for introducing me to the term argumentum ad populum. I didn’t know what that was called before. |

| This is a logical fallacy in two dimensions. First, you're conflating one UI option in the product with the entire product. It could be that 28 million users are using the list-based view. Second, you're implying that high sales of a product are correlated with quality. This isn't true: high sales are a result of demand and available options, as well as target audience. In Apple's case, because users don't buy a specific product from Apple, but rather buy into the entire ecosystem, Apple users don't typically have the choices that other users have. So it's perfectly viable that they would want the Apple Music integration and the iMessage integration, but hate the UI of the launcher. Finally, the 'may suggest' phrasing doesn't sound like good faith, but rather a sarcastic quip, which is why I suspect you've been voted down. |

| As someone who has owned every single Apple Watch model/generation and love the hardware, I agree with GP on the terrible UX of the app grid. |

| Since when are sales in any way correlated to quality of the product? |

| I only ever use mine for the face + notifications. The UX is godawful. I'd probably buy an Apple watch that only served to relay OTPs. |

| It'll also be a very different experience on a screen many times as large. |

| This type of comment is so tiring. I didn’t say other people’s perspective wasn’t valid. I’m just offering mine. By the way, by your logic $200 laptops/Chromebooks are better than MacBook Pros, since they sell so much better. McDonald’s is actually better than Michelin starred cuisine, too. Also you’re basically locked into an Apple Watch as the only wearable that can actually do anything so it’s not really a free market of wearables on iOS. |

| They sold 28 million? That's only 0.34% of all people, so I'm not sure that's the wild success you think it is. |
