Apple Watch Makes Reality TV Debut on 'The Voice' Judge Pharrell Williams' Wrist

How would it know whether or not you're looking at it? I think the display powers on when you raise your wrist, which he's doing in that picture.
Please. Don't. Remind. Us.
If I recall correctly, it was really, really bad.
Everytime I see the Apple watch appear on a celebrity, I can't help but think about Beats. This is the same kind of marketing that made Beats. Is there a famous athlete with an Apple watch yet?
I agree and disagree. One part tells me that Apple better not make this a flop so they must get word on the street. But the other part tells me that do you really need to duplicate information that you can already receive on your smartphone. Apple has gone overboard with all the stuff you can do on the watch it really does not have a defined purpose. To sit there and thumb through options and apps on a small display has to be painful.
Now with 1000 apps already updated and many more to come you're going to micromanage not only your iPhone but all the notifications the watch receives.
Not sure of the exact size of my wrist but I'm 5'9" weigh 165 and can wear my wife's 7 inch tennis bracelet no problem. Large watches look silly on my wrist but I don't want too petite either. I tried the actual size cut outs on my wrist and the 42mm was perfect.
Might want to update the post, Mac Rumors! He posted a video tease of theWatch sporting that well-crafted Mickey Mouse classic watch face:

Seeing this now sort-of pisses me off. Apple usual doesn't let celebrities have access to their new releases before the general public, not counting a photo shoot advertisement. For him to be bragging on social media seems elitist. When new iPhones lauch it's reassuring EVERYONE gets a chance to get it at the same time. Really disappointed in Apple for this discretion.
This isn't the first time Apple has done this. Stephen Colbert routinely had access and displayed iPhones and iPads prior to release.
Why would anyone think advertising is a move of desperation. Getting more eyes on a new product can only improve sales. Why wouldn't they hedge their bets. An ad push (which I'm assuming is the work of Angela A.) is nothing new. While Apple definitely does have the name recognition, I think a major focus this time around is showing what the apple watch is truly capable of...since it may not be very obvious to some (basing that last comment on the ignorance of many of the comments in the forum)

Maybe Bruce Jenner will be flashing one soon?
And let's bring in the entire Kardashian clan too.
You mean like how Stephen Colbert was given the iPad or the iPhone6 Plus before their respective release dates?
How ignorant... Stephen Colbert routinely had iPhones and ipads prior to release and he's as prominent, if not more, than Pharrell.
IMHO, part of the push is to show people what the actual watch is and get eyes on..most likely a plan from Angela A.

I also think Stephen Colbert is a much more influential figure than Pharrell Williams.
Just saying.
That's fine, as long as you keep updating us in this forum, because you know... we are dying to know if you gonna buy it or not.
That seemed more like an Apple sanctioned "first glimp" of a new product, rather than someone getting a device before it's official launch. Admittedly, I can't quantify the distinction, but my gut reaction seems different. I'm sure more public sightings will occur, so I guess it's not that big a deal. It was just nice knowing the likes of Justin Bieber and Donald Trump were getting the new iPhones at at same time as everyone else, although I'm sure they paid someone to stand inline or preorder for them.
Oh, com on. People here have started criticising a product even before they knew a jack **** about it. Because it's in their nature to do that. Have a chance to see one in person or use one and then be as critical as you like about it.
That's the thing... It's not just a gadget. It's an item of clothing. You're wearing it. It has to be considered fashionable to get worn. And there's no objective notion of "good fashion" there are only trends.
People have used other Apple products, they've seen videos of the Apple Watch being used, they know the price, and they've likely used or seen other smartwatches on the market. With all that data, it's not at all hard to come up with an opinion about it.
Damn I love these comments, but I think yours was one of my favorites. Good job yo hahah.

Oh great. Now people will find out about Sewing Machine Rumors.
THANKS. A. LOT.
I was enjoying the secrecy of that website.
It'll start going downhill now --- once the world finds out about it.

Steven Colbert used an iPad to announce a grammy winner before the iPad was released.
Yup, one would expect that though. Well, either him or Jon Stewart.
They're both very influential and looked up to.
