I guess you have a reply for every other similar comment on this thread
.Nobody forced you to read anything. Simply scroll down over the comment if you have a hint of a problem with someone disagreeing with how you feel about something.
Well, it's a forum, where people are expected to post their opinions and comments about topics. Yet people are complaining if they see something that they don't agree with, so...
Care to elaborate? What reputation does Beats have and why would Apple not want to be associated with it? And how does that relate to Pharrell?
Funny, you're dishing out advice that you seem to be unwilling to follow yourself...
You also dont necessarly need to have smarthphone to breathe and walk on the earth, but you are now used to have it and think it is indispensable for your existance. So yes, it isnt necessary but how you may know until you have started to use it.
In other news, UFO sightings have not been made public due to a lack of interest. It is expected to last until at least April 10...
I noticed it but couldn't tell if it was an Watch for sure. My guess is 99% of people watching The Voice last night never noticed it.

Can you name for me all these celebrities Apple is giving the watch to? I'm aware of Christy Turlington Burns and now Pharell. Who else?
I think 99% of the people I know wouldn't have a clue what it was even if they did notice it.
The issue is that I don't have problems with comments that don't agree with me. This is a free, open forum, you know. The posts don't always have to be one sided.
People over 50 are less susceptible to follow the celebrity advertising. They know who they are and don't make buying decisions on that basis.
To be honest that looks to me like a 42mm SS on Pharrell's wrist. The other thing which backs this up in my mind is that I don't see why Apple would give SS versions to other celebrities and athletes and then give Pharrell a watch that costs so much more, that wouldn't make sense.
I'm the wrong side of 40 and I like Pharrell's music. Everyone has different taste so we are never going to agree on that, just like we wouldn't all agree on the perfect watch size, material or strap.

I don't think you're going to get the answer you're looking for. I suspect it is an issue for some people, but they certainty aren't going to spell it out. They're in denial themselves.
Actually no.
I said 'most people' not 'most people the8thark knows'. The difference is subtle, except to anyone other than you.
Another subtle point, that few people seem to get. If you hate Pharrell Williams, and yes I really mean hate, because that's whats going on here, then you wouldn't be watching The Voice, and you wouldn't normally ever know that Pharrell Williams was wearing this thing. That's the thing about a product placement - only people interested in the show, get to see the plug. The people here following every minuscule scrap of Apple Watch gossip don't realise how much of a minority they are. So a tiny minority of haters, are going to refuse to buy the watch because they found out someone they dislike was seen on a show they don't watch wearing one. Sorry, but that's just minor collateral damage. Besides, who thinks Pharrell Williams is the complete and final list of celebrity Apple watch owners? Use a bit of imagination. Perhaps he just happens to be the first? Just a thought.

100%. for some unimaginably illogical reason, so many people on tech threads are entirely ignorant to the idea that companies have marketers who target as many demographics as humanly possible. to even entertain the notion that every product and service offered is catered to them and somehow the company 'missed the mark' by not hitting a bullseye with, shall we say, early 20-something engineering undergrad males with slightly less than average real world social skills.... well that's downright intellectual laziness.
Spot on. Also, where do people get the idea that Pharrel's some young upstart? The guy's in his 40s (just) and also has 11 Grammys under his belt; he's worked as a producer with some huge names for over two decades. The fact that "Happy" is the one song from the past year that most 11 year olds sing non-stop (trust me, I'm a school music teacher) simply demonstrates that he's precisely the sort of person Apple want on board: someone who, like Apple, produces great work consistently, but also is attractive and cool to young people.
