CultCast #177 - A week with Apple Watch

t’s been a week now that we’ve been living with the Apple Watch affixed upon our wrists, and in that time, we’ve curated a list of what we love, what we don’t, and our overall impressions of Apple’s newest trinket.   And while some of us are smitten, not all of us are sold.
