Kahney's Korner: Apple Watch is a hit -- and a bust

Hi, I'm Leander Caney. I'm the editor and publisher of Cult of Mind.com and this is Caney's Corner, a weekly rant about whatever is getting on my t***

This is the new Apple Watch. I love it. I've been using it a lot. It does a bunch of things and I've actually found it pretty indispensable

For everything from using Siri to calling my wife, text reminders, alerts, notifications, alarms

I use the fitness and the activity tracking quite a lot. I use the activity monitor for workouts

I've actually been using the stand up and exercise reminders. I actually find that pretty useful. I find that a pretty good goal

And I use it to set reminders and alarms. So all day, every day. Like if I've got something I'm going to burn on the stove for kids dinner

And the poor little starving mites won't get a burnt offering because I've set a reminder on my watch to take it off the stove

You name it, I use it. Trouble is, here's my first Apple Watch. Look at it. It's busted already

It fell on the floor about a foot. Some clumsy oaf in the office was trying to take a picture of it and he dropped it

It landed right on the corner on the concrete and cracked it. Pretty disappointed. The thing doesn't hold up very well

Then I had to deal with Apple. That's also turned into a nightmare. They are apparently unable to run a simple service request and I've been on the phone to them for at least two weeks

And this is my third request and apparently they're going to send me a new one sometime this week. We'll see
