I knew this book wasn’t going to be great. But I got a used Apple Watch (my partner has one, he likes it, was I just reflexively disliking it?) and I wanted to learn about it without watching a video or reading AI slop websites. It’s an older watch, I figured an older book would be okay. I learned HTML from a Dummies guide, how bad could it be? Well, THEY MISSPELLED THE WORD WATCH, for one. The book had tons of typos, the kind spellchecker should fix. A lot of the text felt copied straight from Apple’s marketing materials, talking about what features would be coming soon. A lot of awful “jokes.” I learned about maybe four features and otherwise feel dumber for having read it.
