Today, San Francisco was abuzz as the entire legion of Apple (including Tim Cook) came out to detail the company's latest products. With a whole bunch of people filtering in and out to talk about everything from Apple's revamped MacBook to the unveiling of the Apple Watch, millions around the globe were tuned in and eagerly paying attention.
As the company makes its first leap into the competitive wearables market, which is already bombarded by the likes of Nike, Pebble and Android, Apple announced that it would release the e-device onto the world on April 24. Throughout the seemingly all-day presentation, Apple showed that it still had a few tricks up its sleeve, in addition to some pretty snazzy design choices.
But, the question is, were the people impressed?
According to Twitter, it seems as if technophiles were not as "with it" as the crowd in San Francisco. Most tweeted complaints about the product's lofty price points ($10,000 for the 18K gold Apple Watch), and the relatively "here today, gone tomorrow" nature of most Apple items. With such other highlights as HBO Now partnering with Apple TV failing to register a hardcore blip on Twitter, it seems that all the attention has fallen on the Apple Watch.
As the buzz lingers around Tech Time readers, we here place a spotlight on the interesting Twitizens of the social media site to showcase their reactions to Apple's Spring Forward presentation.

Assuming the regular product cycle, you're also paying $10,000 for something that will be outdated within a year. # AppleWatch — Oli Franklin-Wallis (@olifranklin) March 9, 2015

I’m a pretty big fanboy, but I’m still very much on the fence about the #AppleWatch - can’t lie. — William Bright (@brightfactor) March 9, 2015
I suspect this is how this will go for most: -Cry Apple Watch is too expensive -Goes into store to try -Buy one immediately
