Apple Watch Defect

Several news sites have reported that apple watch has a defective part and orders are getting delayed. For one part, I totally do not understand the rush for people to get their hands onto this hardware. As an engineer in the tech industry, with so many suppliers and so many parts in each of these systems, several things can go wrong. Several folks who make sure to check imdb or other review sites before spending 10 dollars for a movie, do not care about throwing out 350 dollars for this hardware. Such is the power and craze of apple products. Of course they have gotten several releases on the dot, but I still think this is madness. 

Another example I can remember in this context is the Coin, the startup that promised to make sure your wallet is light. Some folks I know pre-ordered paying 50 dollars and wanted to wait for the company to manufacture the item and ship it. I just think this is the worst way to throwing away your money. Pre-ordering apple watch seems like a smart decision compared to this :)
