Despite conflicting reports of sluggish sales numbers, editorials of waining interest, and proclamations of a dud, according to a survey released this week user satisfaction with the Apple Watch is actually largely positive. In fact according to Wristly, who conducted the survey, the satisfaction numbers beat those of the 1st generation iPhone and iPad. 97% of Apple Watch users stated that they were either “very satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied” with the device. Wristly also broke down those numbers by user type and the “Non-tech User” group had the strongest response to the device (99% satisfaction). This is an important category for Apple since at the end of the day the Apple Watch is a consumer electronic that needs to be embraced by the mass populace to be successful. It is also worth noting that the “Tech Insider” group also viewed the device favorably, with a 96% satisfaction rating. Not all the numbers are rosy though; clearly Apple is loosing grip on its famous “ease of use” (also an issue for its Apple Music service). Head past the break to see the numbers broken out:
