Apple Watch sightings in the wild (not counting anyone you know)

[keatth]

I gave a guy a Lyft ride and he has the sport Apple watch space gray, it was the first thing I noticed as soon as he got in and we spent the entire ride talking about it and apple.

I also just got coffee in downtown la and the guy working here has the black stainless steel one 38mm

I see quite a few around lately. At least 20 people at work have them - (out of like 300). See them occasionally while riding the subway and bus. I've mostly seen sports, though I've seen a few links and milanese loops.

 

[Peace]

Went to the 50th anniversary of The Grateful Dead at Levi's stadium a week or two ago and both Bob Weir and Phil Lesh ( original members ) were wearing Apple Watches with the Milanese loops.

Oh they were using iPad's too.

Saw a guy on the bus with a SG (looked like a BSB from a distance).

So, I have yet to see anyone else with a Apple Watch besides myself, so I guess mine is the necest I have seen? lol. Granted I have seen them on the Employees at the Apple Store (Damn then, they are why I returned my Sport and went with the SS haha)

But I am in Charlotte NC and have yet to see a single soul walking around with one. Makes me kind of sad <-- See!! LOL

I've not seen one yet either. I only know of one other in my home town and he doesn't wear it all the time. Only others I've seen are in the Apple store and on my own wrist.

I have seen one. The day after I bought mine the manager where we were eating dinner had the same model that I have. (SG Sport).

I generally don't take notice of watches since I quit wearing one about 8 years ago. Not sure the apple watch is going to change that for me, so I would be hard pressed to see one in the wild.

I tend to look at most peoples wrists when I see they have a watch on to see if I am not alone out there lol.

Thought I saw my first one today when getting off a ride at the amusement park in my town, but as it turned out it had to have been some other smartwatch, not sure which exactly tho. It had a dark, rectangular casing with a dark rectangular display which first made me think it was the Watch, but then when sneaking closer to have a better look I saw the underside of his watch was metallic in color and seemed thinner than the Watch as well.

Also, dude wore it on his right wrist... *shrug*

Maybe he was a lefty? Lefties wearing watches on their right arm is not uncommon.

The only people I have seen wearing the Apple watch have been the Apple Store employees, no one else. Since I am a watch fan, I ALWAYS look for watches.

Cant trust anyone who wears a watch on the right wrist lol

I have a guy at my office who has the old ipod as a watch, he says his watch is cooler than mine... Ummm.... NEGATIVE lol.

 

[Newtons Apple]

I have only seen one on a person driving. We were stopped at a light and their arm was propped up on the door.

At least it's still an Apple product and not Samsung.

 

[CellXor10]

Me either, though I don't live in a city where I would think you're much more likely to run into people rocking an Apple Watch (by sheer number of people you encounter daily).

Also, I'm a lefty and sport my Sport on my right wrist...

The guy in front of me at the drive through in McDonalds had one on. He didn't use it to pay for his food, though.

Thats the fun part when at a place like that and you use the watch to pay, the person taking the order is usually confused by what you just did lol

There already is a topic for this.

Well pardon me for not searching over 9k topics to see if there was, I am glad to know you felt the need to tell me though.

What's the issue with wearing a watch on the right wrist?

I have not seen any in the wild in my area (a rural county in the mid-Atlantic region). However, every member of my immediate family owns one, the rabbi at our synagogue owns one, and I saw a few in the wild when I was in Irvine, California for a family wedding.

I used one at McDonald's the other day, and all three cashiers were flabbergasted. One knew it was the Apple Watch, then all three started asking questions about it. (They were kinda cute, actually. If I'd been thinking, I would have asked for one of their numbers so I could show off texting and calling. Then again, they were probably high school students, so I guess it's for the best.)

I used it at another McDonald's recently, too, and the cashier was like, "Did you just pay with that? That is so cool!"

Yes, I know I need to stop going to McDonald's. But other eating establishments need to start supporting NFC payments, darn it!

I scanned my Apple Watch at a movie theatre for the tickets and the guy taking the tickets was blown away and said that I made his day.

I a SS with Milanese loop on the central line today. I've now seen 4 in the wild.
