Overall, its not a bad product.
The Watch 2 and 3 have made a lot of improvements that should've been on the first version.
However, if Steve was alive before this went on sale... he definitely would've made it a square to give it a symmetrical beauty, in-line with previous Apple Mac and i-Device designs.

He would also make sure there's only the Digital Crown on the right side, and position it in the middle, for a much better design.

Also he would make sure it is at a reasonable thickness. Something like 9.9mm's would probably be acceptable, whereas the current 11.4mm is too thick/uncomfortable.

And lastly, someone meticulous like Steve would've ensured the higher-priced iWatches had true Sapphire displays which don't get scratched. The current models are pseudo-Sapphire and have impurities, which make them prone to scratching. I've personally seen 3 scratched so far. They're slightly more resilient than Gorilla Glass, but that's about it.
