Probably trying to push sales since they don't seem all that great.
When I went and purchased an Apple Watch at the Apple Store (which is always packed), I went up to the table with the Apple Watch display and no other customers were around it. The only table like that in the store.
Managed to flag an employee over and he opened the drawer with the Apple Watches in it and could not turn any of them on. He thought they were out of power. Surprised, I said - am I really the first customer who has wanted to try one on today, and he said yes he thought I was. Mind you, this was 3:45pm in the afternoon. After consulting with another employee he found out he had to double tap the power button on the watch to turn them on.
I was there for another 45 minutes because the first Watch given to me was scratched, and the second needed to be charged for a good amount of time before being set up (also had a loose power button). In that entire time no other customer did anything but glance at the Watch table.
Brought the watch home and thought it over - this was an attractive product, but not a terribly useful one. It was also very fiddly in my opinion in terms of interface. But more than anything, and my reason for returning it, was that it was simply not worth its price. I think Apple needed a cheaper entry level watch. It also doesn't make much sense to me that the only difference between models is materials and someone paying for the most expensive watch does not get any extra functionality in return.
The "kiss" ad is truly bizarre: "Buy our product so that intimate moments can be interrupted by alert tones!"

Last night I was watching The Voice and saw several commercials for the new Nexus phones. As well as one for Surface Book. I guess those products are duds since according to MR logic now advertising only exists to try and prop up a failing product.
These are the kind of ads Apple should've been doing from the beginning. Short and sweet and upbeat.
That's exactly what I was thinking.I kind of agree. Bit like the early iPod ads.
Yeah, it's a bit puzzling but quite clever. Too clever? Possibly.The "kiss" ad is truly bizarre: "Buy our product so that intimate moments can be interrupted by alert tones!"
Or perhaps can cause less of an interruption compared to what a similar alert would cause if it had come in on a phone.
I'm a fanboy, but I never have seen so **** ads... I won't move along...
Screen too small - LOL. See those people with Moto 360, it's like putting a truck on the wrist!
Needs an iPhone - So it's better if you need to put a SIM card in your watch and type WiFi passwords using the on screen keyboard? I see why you need bigger screen then.
Needs to be recharged - Of course! Do you want it to use AA batteries?
Thanks a lot for answering a question, no one asked you...

No it's more. Since it's tapping you on your wrist, you're tempted to look at it even during an intimate romantic moment. If this were on my phone, I'd leave it right where it is, while I kissed my girl like she were the only thing in the world at that moment. Whatever is vibrating my pants pocket can bloody well hold on until I'm done.Or perhaps can cause less of an interruption compared to what a similar alert would cause if it had come in on a phone.
Yeah like a pet rock.
