I love it. Apple is making all the strategic moves to acclimate the populace in preparation for fiendish sales in 2015. This is where Android Wear products failed......they neglected the industrial fashion industry which hits all around the world not just the U.S.
 
how did she make the cover, to me, she doesn't look pretty and she looks like a guy

to be a model you dont need to be beautiful,just unique face and tall and slim

Exactly. And here in Asia there are a huge huge number of ladies who fit western ideals of beauty. But those pretty "girl next door" types won't make it onto the cover of vogue.
 
The more I watch (ha) what Apple is doing with their promotion of this, the more I think it will be more surprising if it *doesn't* do very, very well. People like to handwave the involvement of the fashion industry but it could really crack open the market.

Personally, I don't have a use for it at this point but I will be keeping my eye on it over the next couple of years.
 
So you think Apple is going to reinvent fashion? HAHAHA... do you have any more good jokes?
They were saying the same thing about the personal music player industry when the iPod was announced. They kind of knew better when the iPhone and iPad were announced.
 
If you think wearing an Apple watch is going to make you as hot as a model, you need a reality check. The watch will definitely be pushed hard by Apple with their ads, but shouldn't the watch push itself? Remember the ipod commercials? It showed people enjoying the freedom of the music player. If the watch can't do this, and has to depend on fashion only, then it is doomed.
 
Buy or not buy comes down to...
1. Battery life (1 week at least please)
2. Water resistant or not (ideally I want to surf with it)
3. How often do they plan on refreshing (if annually, count me out)

Battery life is absolutely a deal breaker for me. Charging every day is unacceptable. But the watch looks really great.

I don't disagree... Apple has proven it can re-invent a PRODUCT SEGMENT. But reinventing fashion itself? How exactly can a person, company, entity reinvent fashion?
 
I am caring less and less about the Apple Watch as time goes on, and this kind of advertising is even more off putting.

Gruber was right, techie people are definitely not the target market for this thing.

A Pebble watch meets your 1, 2 and 3. You can buy one right now if you don't care about fashionable good looks and the Apple brand. For a lot less $$$ than an Apple Watch as well...
 
The watch looks great when worn by someone. Not nearly as big as they try to make it look in pictures with odd camera angles.

Thanks for sharing?
 
These fashion updates are becoming tiring.

I always thought that Jobs photos looks weird. What exactly is he doing with his hand? Playing with his beard?
Look at his hand.
Now look at his beard.
Look at his hand.
Now look, it's diamonds!
Now it's a watch. An Apple Watch.
In Gold. Or Steel.

Wear it like a man, man.
 
Btw, this is what Ive said about the watch at the Vanity Fair summit.

I really like this shot.

I think the Apple Watch is going to be bigger than the naysayers

The :apple:Watch looks awesome seriously:eek:to all the naysayers sorry to tell you, the watch will sell, just like everything else Apple comes out with.. :rolleyes::cool::apple:
 
That cover is making me seasick. It looks like an Onion parody using a male model posing as a woman.
