I had no problems. I’m on the Upgrade Program and set up my order two days ago.

Soap does not kill most bacteria, unless it is anti-bacterial soap which we aren't supposed to use because of the creation of resistant strains of bacteria, because soap will not kill them - wait what just happened?

Lysol and alcohol may have negative effects on band materials - use with caution unless you are really rich and in that case go ahead and destroy your posessions on a regular basis because you really just don't care, because you have that luxury and are a very inconsiderate and wasteful person which is the worst insult I know.

Apple cider vinegar is a total scam and is no different than regular acetic acid and this reminds me of the people who think that mixing vinegar and baking soda makes some sort of miracle cleaner that is safe and effective which of course it is not effective at all since you just deactivated the vinegar. The by product of the magic "cleaning" reaction is co2 and sodium acetate, which is a chemical compound used to make salt and vinegar potato chips very vinegary without being a wet soggy acidic mess.

I don't wear a watch but my wife likes her Apple Watch and when she cleans her bands we use OxiClean or the active ingredient, sodium percarbonate, which is also the active ingredient in Efferdent and is also the active ingredient in most coffee machine cleaning tablets and the active ingredient in most "color safe" laundry bleach products and so far we have seen no damage to the bands.

Tonight I like really long sentences.

No. Very misleading bordering on outright wrong. Soap DOES kill bacteria and viruses by destroying their bilipid layer - their outer membrane. Soap literally tears apart the pathogen. No anti-bacterial addition needed.

Excerpt:  
Some bacteria and viruses have lipid membranes that resemble double-layered micelles with two bands of hydrophobic tails sandwiched between two rings of hydrophilic heads. These membranes are studded with important proteins that allow viruses to infect cells and perform vital tasks that keep bacteria alive. Pathogens wrapped in lipid membranes include coronaviruses, H.I.V., the viruses that cause hepatitis B and C, herpes, Ebola, Zika, dengue, and numerous bacteria that attack the intestines and respiratory tract.

I think it'll be like the Apple TV. Very satisfied users, with a small market share.
Sounds like they'll be introducing a Matrix world, which we will be sucked into, and probably never wanna leave. Sometimes I even end up watching the Apple TV screensavers, just watching the beauty of the world. Apple is great at producing these beautiful experiences. But it's dangerous territory to tread. 1984 hello.

This isn’t dangerous at all. It’s not like 1984. This has nothing to do with a totalitarian future. 

It’s a liberating, immersive, flexible tool that allows creative people to do whatever the want to with it.

Stop the fear mongering; it’s ridiculous.

This screams out “lack of focus”. There is absolutely no reason for Tesla to issue products like this. They need to take care of their primary business, and say no to superfluous products that simply take time and attention away from their very challenging primary product.

I love Bernie, but he’s dead wrong on this.
