Hmmmm, interesting that it's not magnetic. AI apps don't give me a super elpful description when I run a photo of the pin through them, but it's cool to be able to do that at all.
Here's a pic of it from both sides...

This year we got the special anniversary bands that @mikedis posted and water bottles. Those who also participated in the Apple Fitness+ challenges received custom made anniversary workout mats and this pin is the last one with some events taking place at Apple Park as well :) In the Bay Area the pins were gone by 11am. There was a big queue at Apple Park Visitor Center as early as 1 hour before opening with people waiting for the pins 😂
They did special fitness+ challenges with prizes just for those too?

This kind of stuff is interesting to me. I still have the shirt and thank you card I got when I tried and failed spectacularly doing Apple care support. I know I wouldn't have been able to close all my rings for a whole month if I'd been able to do the challenge.
 
I got mine as the local Apple Store opened it's doors on April 24th.

As the Apple Store is on the east coast of Australia it means the first in the world (potentially equal first as there is more than one Apple Store on the east coast).
 
Local Apple store is about a 20 minute walk for me which is nice, curious if they have any of these or will say they're only for people who purchase a watch.
You don’t need to buy a watch. I walked in and they had a good number ready for folks up front. I was like “I’m here for the pin!” and they hooked me up. Nice little memento. I told the employee Apple Watch is a great product and changes lives. He was having a good time, it seemed like. :)
 
I got mine. The specialist had to go to the back of the store to get it. She was kind of surprised when I asked for one. I still have my first-gen Apple Watch.

This reminds me of the MTA here in NYC…..****** service and crime but here’s a special metro card you can buy with special logos and crap on them.
 
Here in the west coast on my way to work at Pacific Centre I lined up at 10AM there was a line to get in and the Apple employee had a bunch of them handing them out and secured two of them! They were really happy customers were coming in to get them and said we only just got them this morning before they opened... Ive had a series 6, 8, and now ultra watch 2 (really wanted the black titanium but wasn't worth it as it was just the color was different ) I use my Apple Watch everyday biking and recent updates to check if I have sleep apnea. Such a wonderful device especially the ultra watch 2 cause I can get with full use of apple fitness workouts and LTE taking calls and iMessage gets me close to 69 on a good day and sometimes past 72hours then charge it fully to 100 but some days just to 80 to maintain battery
 
Could have posted this a bit earlier 😅 now the store is closed (almost 10 pm)
Same here.
I had school all day today and good luck on finding it over the weekend…
I did ring the local Apple Store bout it and they said that it’s in stock until they run out, each store gets hundreds of copies of these pins.
 
No thanks. I’ve never seen the attraction of the Apple Watch. The screen is too small to be useful.
Well, you can easily strap the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max to your wrist and use it's all-day battery life to watch Netflix straight from your hand.
 
Instead of creating a marketing project and spending big bucks to populate users with useless trinkets, why don't they instead create products that are not deemed obsolete in 5 years with user replaceable batteries, and OS that are stable and not bloated with 'features' that are only useful to those with specialized needs, along with improved training for their support agrents?
