The only acceptable jewellry for a man to wear is a watch.
Many men wear rings, some wear bracelets or necklaces and some even wear earrings.
Video doesn't lie? Then why not accept Apples videos as evidence that they are very attractive watches?
Because they are movies, mostly renders and heavily photoshopped.
Some even wear tiaras. Which is obviously the next big thing, the smart tiara. It can intercept your thoughts with ads based on your conversation. Not a fitness tiara though and should not be worn whilst running.
I'll link you to a short video that I just stumbled upon. Basically, it points out how Apple Watch isn't positioned as a gadget, it's positioned as more functional jewellery.

It's a fair point, and one I've raised every debate with my colleagues since Monday. I'm not buying it because its an apple device, I'm buying it because its the first ever device that gives me the functionality of my pebble, the looks & build of an Omega, and works with my iPhone.
Simple.
I will always consider Apple Watch as jewellery, albeit more feature filled than typical timepieces.
But there-in lies the point, it's not just a smartwatch, it's a Timepiece.
I'm a watch lover, and a tech lover, so this is like Christmas come early!
Would love to hear people's thoughts on this perspective?

I can see it now... a smart Apple tiara that will communicate with you mentally and boost your psychic powers. Apple magic, wouldn't it be grand?
I think it depends more on why you wear it than what it does. If you wear your ID card around your neck, it's not jewellery. But, the Apple watch is not merely a device. It's supposed to be seen by others but from a personal choice point of view.Just wondering - hasn't it always been a distinctive mark in jewelry that it has only very limited functionality? Its main purpose is to adorn the bearer.
Yes, a luxury mechanical watch shows the time, perhaps date and moon phases, and does that well. But that's it.
Limited usefulness in jewelry is a feature. The Apple Watch requires too much attention and interaction from the user to qualify, gold or not. It's a tech gadget.
What happens to this "watch" without an iPhone? It no longer tells accurate time.
No, Apple Watch is not jewelry, and it's not a luxury timepiece. It's technology that will be replaced year after year with new versions. At most, it's a hybrid between a device and jewelry, but it's certainly more of a technological device than it is a luxury timepiece.
How can jewellery be mass produce in China?
Ah no, it isn't. My Rolex Daytona is a timepiece. It's a piece of jewelry. The Apple Watch, regardless of which model you buy, it's the same on the inside; mass manufactured on an assembly line in China. It isn't the result of a lifetime of work by a master watchmaker, and in today's terms, it isn't even a masterpiece in terms of software or user experience. It's a solution in search of a problem, designed by a great industrial/product designer who has next to no experience with timeless jewelry. It's a gadget, and that's all it'll ever be. Unlike my watch, nobody will passing their Apple watch on to the next generation, and if anyone is foolish enough to try that, the recipient won't care.
Sorry, but no. It just isn't. I love Apple, but it isn't.
Honestly, the only model that can be considered jewelry is the Edition, and even that's a stretch.
The Apple watch is not jewellery. Jewellery is buying a Rolex/AP/Patek and not giving a monkeys that it tells the time.
I wear my APs and dont even use it to look for the time alot of the time. Still naturally get my phone out for that.
They all do the same thing, perform the same, have the same internals.
The only difference is the way they look, maybe feel.
That's jewelry.
A real watch is s time peice and timeless. It can be showcase all the time ... Not a blank black face
There's another word for fashiony items that don't last: Bling
Best analogy ever.Finally someone got it.
I can also call my iPhone a pocket watch jewelry lol.
I was giving you the opportunity to accept that what you said was a little silly.
