Apple Watch Reactions Social Media

In case you hadn't heard, the Apple Watch started shipping today. Just about anyone who got their package in the mail whipped out their phone to document the momentous occasion — us included. And, as expected, the public reactions on social media are pretty darn hilarious. Some people are still anxiously awaiting a visit from their friendly UPS driver, while others are frantically unboxing their new treasure and giving it a spin. And, believe it or not, there are a few that are more than happy leaving their wrists screen-free. In lieu of the $350+ smartwatch, some creative folks have even hewn their own "Apple Watch" out of real apples. And tape. An A++ DIY. If you've got your own Apple Watch, we created a guide to help walk you through how it works. If you don't have one, that's okay, too. We've rounded up some of our favorite moments from Twitter and Instagram for you to enjoy.

Does the Apple Watch still work if you open the box without photographing the process?

Let's ignore the fact that I just chased a UPS driver down the street like a dog, and focus on the fact that I have an Apple Watch

So far I’ve been kinda like “I dunno, this watch isn’t as fun I hoped” but then my Lyft driver called me and I TALKED TO HIM ON MY WATCH

Apple's packaging is normally pretty minimalist but the Apple Watch's is like 10% watch 90% trash pic.twitter.com/UOjHYcaMf7

Looking forward to reinventing the band attachment mechanism for Apple Watch 2, rendering all current bands incompatible and obsolete.
