Enough already with this gimicky crap.
Where's my ad for a new Macbook Pro.

Nope, both these gentlemen are in the right forum. They hate the product so it has to be useless and everyone buying it is either stupid or really stupid. After all, where else can they go and share their misery about a product they dont have!
Which app are they using in the Chase to compete?
Don't forget to mention that's Jon Batiste, bandleader of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, in the Swap ad.
This doesn't bode well for those who were hoping for a June refresh. Apple doesn't cut brand new ads for products 2.5 months away from being discontinued. Most likely going to be fall (October) at the earliest or even next spring.
The Rain and Find ones were the best of the bunch in their creativity to show off their respective feature. The odd music and colored backgrounds though are more creepy than unique
Not necessarily. Apple typically still churns out ads as close as two months prior to a new generation's unveiling. The most recent example of this that I can think of was last year when they released new iPhone ads mid-summer, just a couple months before the 6s was announced.
The important thing to keep in mind is that even if they release a new ad the day before the product in question is updated, it will still have the purpose of advertising that product as well as the new one albeit minus the new features. Apple almost always keeps the older model but at a discounted price. So someone might see the ad and then hear about the lower price and be more inclined to buy it now; especially if they don't care about having the latest model, which most people do not. Now us Apple junkies on the other hand...
You may think that if you hate a product, then its owners must also be stupid, but I choose not to practice such mindless prejudice.
Each to their own.

Or there will be no version 2.
I'd like to think that if you say GPS enough times in relation to Apple Watch, the google web spiders will eventually inform Apple how important it is that the Apple Watch have GPS without the phone. When the Apple Watch finally gets GPS, I too will actually cave and buy it. But I am never going to buy Apple Watch without GPS.
Fantastic ads that stylistically evoke the legendary iPod silhouette era while successfully demonstrating the usefulness of the AppleWatch in 15 second bites. Well done!
I know people like you. I avoid them when possible
Exactly. Macrumors has become a cesspool of negativity and whiners. I miss when this place was a fan page.
I've recently rediscovered the "Ignore" feature and I've begun using it liberally. People like bladerunner2000 will never have anything interesting or positive to contribute. Add these kinds of people to the ignore list and improve your experience on Macrumors.
Another really cool mix was used for the Toronto PanAm Games 2015 ad.
This one's by Mischa "Book" Chillak and strangely absent from Apple Music.

Incidentally, the Apple Watch reminds me of the original iPod in a lot of ways. Technology made personal in a small package that's fun to use. Even the Digital Crown reminds me of the Click Wheel.

Are these adds for the Apple watch or reminders of why we shouldn't by one? I clicked on the golf add hoping for something cool and saw a guy hit it in the water. The watch didn't show distance, didn't keep score and offered no information other then steps. Near as I could tell, it is not for golf.
The rain ad showed a women carrying an umbrella. I guess she knew it was going to rain without needing the watch. I didn't view the rest. Lost interest.

Let's hope that Apple doesn't put its head in the sand likewise.
If you don't fail, you won't succeed.

....
You avoid anyone with a difference in opinion?
A very common opinion, I might add.
Those are perfect ads.
In just a few seconds they all manage to show real life use cases for the watch, in a very clear manner. Soundtracks are fantastic.

Go find the comments page on the 2001 iPod introduction article, same negativity, same "this is not Apple" attitude, same whining.
These people used to love "Apple the underdog", and would like to see Apple fall to have their beloved underdog back.

Yeah it's only a matter of time before everyone's boss says.....quit looking at your damn watch all day!
[doublepost=1460418759][/doublepost]I say Apple needs to bring back Jeff Goldblum and make some sweet ads. Curious iPad sales are down and there's no advertising.
