There's a definite fear this time around to pan the Apple watch given how so many such predictions have been proven wrong in the past.
But reading between the lines , you can sense that many reviewers feel that it's a dud.

I got the same sense from reading reviews, most seemed negative on it, like it was unfinished and not ready for primetime (wait till version 2 or 3 most would say).
I can tell you after going into the store and trying it out I left thinking it was a great product. The fit and finish is top notch and the UI is smooth and responsive. I couldn't test watch kit apps out so that might be an issue, but that'll be resolved once Apple releases a separate SDK for running on the watch which they said they would do later this year.
I'd say if you were previously worried by the reviews go check it out in person and you might be surprised.
