Death of Apple Watch 0

 So those of you who remembers Timex watches, and their slogan, "Timex takes a lickin and keeps on tickin". I remember the commercial where they strapped a watch to a boat propeller and ran it for a few minutes and then un-strapped it and the spokesman would grab the watch and hold it in front of the camera to show everyone that it was still running. Unlike Apple they just killed the Applewatch 0.  If you own that watch, it is a dead watch running.  No parts, updates, or support. Some of those first Applewatches were in the thousands and they have become paperweights, or anchors if you like by Apple basically flipping a switch.  This tells YOU, Apple owns the watch you just get to pay thousands to hold it for awhile.  Like Microsoft, they can brick your computer if they feel you haven't paid them enough.  Go back to mechanical watches and use an operating system that you can modify and play with and not have it bricked by greed but by deed, yours
