A picture of a smart, talented, successful young actress/model almost makes me want to go out and buy a watch. Hailee Steinfeld is also beautiful.
 
Now the question "is that a 38mm or a 42mm"?

I'd guess a 38mm considering its size on the wrist, unless she's really big boned :).

You mean Apple isn't responsible for the hundreds of rumor sites preaching daily to the choir? Well duh! But what is preaching besides blatant advertisement for a cause?

A reverend isn't paid by god, but that's what he's selling, and MacRumors isn't paid by Apple but that's what they're selling.

Anyway, for MacRumors to highlight an advertisement for the Apple Watch is no more an advertisement than spotlighting the latest feature on iOS or showcasing news about a new MacBook. So... I guess I just don't understand what your beef is.

Oh, right "hundreds"... They must sure be hiding deep those sites. What I do see a lot of is Android focused sites, I do see hundreds of these types.
 
Who's the brainless one? She is an actress who, at the age of about 14, played the lead female role in the True Grit remake. If you haven't seen it, you should. She was quite amazing in it.

SO glad I saw this comment before replying to him. Hailee Steinfeld is an incredible young actress

The best part about this and all the other similar comments is that none of them would be in this thread if that was a man on the cover. I love when misogynists make it easy to identify them.

Hailee Steinfeld was nominated for an Oscar at age 14, but even if she was "just" a model, she'd have more brains than you, sir.
 
You said it all, you know what the target audience it. People with no brain. I am ashamed Apple is pushing a product into that direction.

The Apple Watch is just an accessory and Apple is promoting is as this huge revolutionary thing. The reality is that the Apple Watch is just between a mouse and an Apple TV.

What I noticed is that Apple ran out of breakthroughs with the dead of Steve. What they are doing is taking ordinary elements and enhancing them. A watch, a TV, a car. They are just resizing what they have, they have become like any other corporation, playing safe and calling it "innovation".

Your logic can be turned around and applied to Apple with Steve. All Apple did was just take an ordinary device and enhance it. An MP3 player. A phone. A laptop. A tablet.

Taking things and making them better is what Apple has been doing for the past 20 years.
 
Has she made a movie produced by Harvey Weinstein? If so, she's probably done some "casting couch" favors. That's the rumor anyway, that in order to get cast in a Weinstein produced film if you're young, white, and pretty that you must sleep with him. Maybe this girl had a threesome with Harvey and Olivia Wilde:

Oh, right... The whole she only gets movies, modeling, a management job, any job because she a whore motif.... This is both misogynistic and makes all men look like dogs, not good for either gender. It is slanderous too btw.

FYI- True Grit is a Coen brothers movie and had nothing to do with Weinstein.

Production Companies:
Paramount Pictures (presents)
Skydance Productions (presents)
Scott Rudin Productions (as Scott Rudin)
Mike Zoss Productions (as Mike Zoss)

She was also in Ender's Game and will be in the sequel to Pitch Perfect. Also nothing to do with Weinstein, not that it matters.

Back on topic, it's totally appropriate to show a jewelry tech (we need a term for tech jewelry now) item in a fashion photoshoot. Do you really think they are only going to show it on its own in nerd magazines or something?

rude. just cause she's pretty doesn't make her brainless. she's a fine actress with an oscar nomination to her credit before the age of 16. so. who's the brainless one around here?


edit: lol. i see i was beat to the punch several ways from sunday. good to know there are more on this board than the ignorant op types.

They're just kicking and screaming because computer technology isn't the exclusive domain of the nerd anymore. "Others" are outnumbering them now.
 
yet another painfully awkward "fashion" photo with an Apple Watch drawing attention to how out-of-place it looks.

A bulky old Casio form-factor does NOT elicit desire, only derision.
 
Putting that ugly watch on pretty people isn't going to make the watch any less stupid looking.

I don't think it's ugly at all. The physical design is simple so what's on the face can shine. Some people just can't appreciate understated and go for gaudy instead. Different strokes.
 
With so much fuss about lefties, she has been shown wearing :apple: Watch it in her right hand. But the watch interface is upside down.

Good catch. Either it is a lazy Photoshop job (of the screen image or the whole device), or whoever set the model up with the white-band Watch neglected to switch the handedness setting on it. But possibly the picture will help to demonstrate to certain dead-enders that the device can actually be used on one's right wrist—and with the crown still pointed at the user's hand rather than her elbow. Various careless pundits have suggested otherwise.

Agreed. She was terrific in True Grit.

Not sure I would have realized the cover model was that actress if commenters on this thread hadn't mentioned it, though. She looks quite a bit different here. (It might have had something to do with the movie being set in the 1870s, and Steinfeld being about five years older now. Mainly, though, I think it's that the makeup/photo touch-up work that's been done to her is pretty intense.)
 
Anyone who thinks Hailee Stanfield is some dumb model, go do yourself a favor and get off this message board and go watch True Grit

14 year old part filipino actress from LA doing a southern accent holding her own next to Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin and Matt Damon. She anchored that entire movie and pretty much killed it
