As the reviews pile in for Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) redesigned Apple Watch ahead of the device's launch this Friday, sentiment from reviewers appear to be in the company's favor. The New York Times, for instance, called the new version of the smartwatch "perhaps one of the most significant developments in wearable gadgets in years" -- and there's plenty more optimism in the reviews from other major media outlets. This is good news for Apple, as the Apple Watch represents the flagship product of the company's fast-growing wearables segment.
