The Apple Watch may be Apple's "most personal product yet". It may be the first new product type that the Cupertino company has launched for a number of years. It may also be company's first new category product post-Steve Jobs. It may even only be the beginning of the road map as it sits with its first-generation release status. However, it seems that while all of those things are indeed true, it's also true that the precise timepiece is performing extremely well when it comes to customer satisfaction, according to recent surveys.
Predicting Apple's financial results is often a case of just coming up with huge numbers for both sales and profits, but if you prefer your guesswork to be a little more nuanced, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has been outlining his thoughts on Apple's recently completed financial quarter.

The Apple Watch may not be to everyone's liking but it's undoubtedly a product that is going to be around for a long time to come. Tim Cook and his men have invested a lot of time and research into the design, development and engineering of the product in an attempt to bring something that's currently unmatched on the market, and let's be honest, they've succeeded at the first attempt. So, if it's going to be a device that will be here for the long-haul, we may as well see what it's capable of, right? That's exactly what a bunch of well-known iOS developers and tinkerers have done, by being the first to publicly announce that they've "hacked" watchOS.
