During and after the two-hour-long Apple event in Cupertino, Calif., on Tuesday, Twitter users shared their reactions to the new products that were unveiled. 

Much of the chatter on the microblogging site revolved around what was arguably the centerpiece of the event, the Apple Watch. 

Some users found the Apple Watch to be too expensive and big, while others expressed frustration that they wouldn't be able to purchase the product until early 2015. 

It's hard to know whether Tuesday morning's chatter on Twitter will serve as a predictor for Apple sales in the coming months. You can read more of the reactions below.
