I echo this - I bought an apple watch but ended up returning it because it was so hard to reliably do basic tasks like connecting your AirPods and listening to a podcast. It would work fine ~80% of the time but sometimes it just wouldn't work at all and there's no clear fix other than resetting everything which is super annoying. Apple support was also completely useless. The apple watch hardware is amazing but the software was such a letdown.

Every time something goes wrong with my watch I have to fully unpair and reset it. Every time! It’s very frustrating.
But when everything is working, I find it to be super useful… so what are you going to do?
Ask for a refund?
Yeah it was definitely cool when it was working, but having it not work 1 out of every 10 times was getting frustrating. I ended up returning it. The Apple Watch for me was always a nice-to-have, not a must-have, so returning it was an easy decision.
That's the new Pixel fingerprint reader experience.
They buried it under the screen (why? who gave a shit?) so they can make it (generously) 70% reliable instead of the 99.99% reliable reader they had on the back.
