I was burned on the first gen Watchy - most shipped with a busted real-time clock. It was a watch that couldn't keep time. In order for them to do a replacement, they required a decent amount of technical knowledge that I didn't have in order to run commands and spit out a report. I was using the watch as a tool to learn, but wasn't at that stage.

The lesson I learned was don't buy pre-release hardware.
