Many vegetarians eschew meat for moral reasons, but in her case, she simply didn't like the taste of meat. I'm the same way with mayonnaise. I can't stand the slightest trace of mayo on a burger. So yes, it's the same ballpark.
Maybe you wear long sleeve shirts and sweaters, but I mostly wear shirts with rolled up sleeves, so the watch and the crown are almost always visible.
To be clear, I'm not saying that I wouldn't buy a skin for the crown, but that doesn't make the red dot a good design choice.
It’s pretty stylish and classy in my opinion. It’s good to have some color on a watch otherwise it’s boring Grey and white.
Invade the serenity of my neutral color utopia. Make the Apple Watch Great Again!What did tiny, red dots ever do to you, man?
It’s hideous, I hope they offer SS models without it in the future. Still baffled over it, such a bizarre choice.
I imagine will start seeing articles on MacRumors of Apple Watch users trying to remove the red dot with their own methods. Should be interesting to see how that goes. I do know some are purchasing other stickers to cover up the red dot.
First world problems! People aren’t happy unless they have something to whinge about.
The red dot doesn't bother me specifically. But I can understand why it's different and more of a standout color for some to be annoyed with.
But it's a bloody red dot!!! lol

watchdots will be loving the red dot!
You get the extra storage to make up for the fact you have a bright red dot on the side of your watch.
Interesting concept, and one I may get myself. I'm not sure how it will last on a watch with wear and tear of daily wearing though
Unlike the iPhone, the Watch is a wearable. Unlike the notch, there is no logical reason for the red dot.
I think it looks great on a stainless steel w/ white sport band and the ceramic version. I can certainly see some people upset that it clashes with some band combinations.
Of course it looks fine like this. But if you want to change bands often, the dot just clashes with many, many colours.
I will gladly take a red dot over any amount of mayo.
The red dot can be covered up unlike the presence of mayo

That looks quite good. I imagine it’ll sell well in Japan.

You seem too think I am justifying the red dot and saying it’s okay, I was actually talking about the complaints about it.
As for the notch, I wasn’t saying they were the same, I was saying the notch is worse but people find it bearable. The fact you wear it is somewhat irrelevant, because, again it can be covered up and it is on the side of the device. It is like complaining about the color of the Apple logo on your iPhone.
Now I am not saying it’s stupid to complain about it (because I also don’t think it should be there), but some people are blowing it out of proportion.
Bunny, you had to ask.What did tiny, red dots ever do to you, man?
Smallpox anyone?
Yeah, I wear mine on the left wrist, but I orientate it with the crown on the left, so it probably annoys me more, since I'll be staring at it all day.
Ah, I see where your frustration can lie, then. Just don’t wear a green shirt or every day will be Christmas.
