Really neat, in any case.

I suppose because I've seen my Apple Watch struggle with the most basic of things. Like displaying a text message, or scrolling through a full set of apps. It's never felt like a speedy device, and seeing something render so smoothly like this gave a contrast to how I usually feel. That help?
