Apple Encourages People to Get Moving in New 'Close Your Rings' Apple Watch Ad

[Cole Slaw]

Instead of this "closing your rings" nonsense, Tim Cook ought to be opening his rings, to allow all those amazing products out of that mythical pipeline of his.

Since spending your life sitting in a zombie trance state staring at a computer monitor all day long will definitely shorten your lifespan and decrease the quality of your health, it's good that the company that has given us the addictive means to destroy our bodies and eyes now promotes a device to encourage us not to do that.

Rings are we easily entertained LOL how about a product ON PAR with iPad? Too much Tim?

Seriously when was Apples last wow moment? Not talking about price increases.

Products in Pipe Line is technically not a lie.

If Apple are so bothered about getting us to move, why do they make things like remote light switches, garage doors that open themselves and products that let you see who is at the front door without getting up? It really is the strangest of ironies. Just occasionally I get this weird feeling that they might try to sell us things under literally any pretence.

They don't? Unless I missed a few major product launches...

I've noticed this as well. To be fair though, it's not only apple. You don't even have to close your car door yourself anymore. Just put your foot on the brake of your self driving automatic car and it closes it for you. Not that it matters much in itself but it contributes to a lazier society. We have to go to the gym in order to get normal every day exercise because technology is so good these days that we barely need to move in order to get things done. I have no doubt that people will glide around on hover boards in the future instead of walking. Next thing you know there will be a machine that does the exercise for you so you don't even have to do that yourself..

One of the reasons Apple has taken over the market and most of the rest are giving up or selling out, is that with a simple change of a band, you can move from fitness workout mode to have a great fashion statement/accessory.

I don't think this is a "great fashion accessory" at all. It sold poorly, too. The only reason it sold at all is Apple's sublime marketing that made you think this mediocre fitness band and nearly useless watch that only shows the time when you move it in a particular way is a fashion statement. I'd never use such a piece of garbage, honestly.

Don't worry, this is America, they can't force you to buy an Apple Watch. Besides, they are selling so well that they can't make them fast enough so the people waiting to buy them are glad to hear you aren't in line.
