I did the same thing when they first put them on display at the local BestBuy. I was a little unsure about them from all of the unflattering early reviews but as soon as I actually saw one in person I just knew that I had to have one... and now I do.
And take it from someone with 3 kids, you gotta look out for yourself too, because nobody else is going to. Save up a few bucks every paycheck and make it happen. I litterally started saving up around $25 every month from the time that they first announced the 360 back in March because I knew I wanted one, or at least some kind of Android Wear device. And I actually initially bought a Gear Live because when the 360 came out the reviews wern't great and they sold out crazy fast and it looked like they were going to be out of stock for a long time. I just couldn't wait any longer for a Android Wear device so I got the Gear Live, but long story short once I saw a 360 in the store I took the Gear live back and bought a 360... well actually I kinda bought Two... but that's a whole different story.
