Celebrity/Television Apple Watch Sightings

JT2002TJ said:
If someone has to know if the product bought has some form of human rights violation, they will never be able to buy anything at all...

Almost every single product you buy can be brought back to some exploited group of people. Even if the product is "Made in the US", some component of the product was build overseas. If not the product itself, the computers the company uses, or the bank the company banks with, or the delivery vehicles the company uses...

If you are going to say something about the watch, you would be better off getting on her case about a private jet, the oil industry exploits WAY more than apple ever has (I grew up in the oil industry living in several countries, so I have first hand experience with big oil). Using a private jet wastes more than 10k worth of extra fuel annually...

EDIT: I will leave it at this, to prevent this from going too far off topic.

Yes but this is about the watch, so I'm addressing that. Nevertheless, agreed about going further off topic. Half the responses either don't understand my criticism, or don't care, so it's not even really worth debating further anyway. I've made my position very clear for anyone who actually cares to understand it.

To get back on topic...

I noticed the other night on the Kelly File Brian Kilmeade was wearing an Apple Watch. Looked like maybe a Space Black SS but couldn't tell for sure it was just peeking out from under his shirt sleeve.

Both Joy Behar and Alan Alda were wearing Apple Watches on The View.

I saw her on Kimmel a few nights ago with the watch, it went on a few times as she was talking - looks like she uses the Modular display.

Not sure if this has been said yet-- but Leno has been sporting a SS Milanese on every episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" so far!

You think there's $9650 worth of gold in the $10K Edition? Maybe there's $7,000 more gold squeezed into the 38mm Modern Buckle Edition. And isn't it funny that a 42mm Classic Buckle Edition is larger yet somehow has $5,000 less gold in it?

It's been well discussed, and speculated, based on the weight differences between the Edition and the Stainless/Sport, and the current price of gold. It's not rocket surgery.

So what?

In every single jewelry item, you pay MUCH more than it's weight in gold, diamonds, whatever?

Do you know how much $90K can get you in pure gold? Let alone in 18K gold (much, much cheaper)?

Yeah. HIS thinking is just backward. He would have a point if Apple didn't release a cheap aluminium model. What Apple does is democratise technology. You can have the cheapest model that have the same gut as the most expensive one. How is that not liberating?
He should ask all those brands who release only the most expensive model to also have an affordable one that 100X cheaper instead.

Could we please take this thread back on topic? This thread is for sightings, not philosophical discussions about how people should spend their money. Please start a different thread for those discussions.

Yup.

And as Jony Ive said, the cheapest one, didn't had any less of care and tought than the super-expensive one, I believe him.

There's not even a tech spec difference.

Jay Leno wears one.

I think Jay's adoption of the Watch on his car show is a big one, because "car guys" often tend to be "watch guys," and that's especially true when they're wealthy.

It's a pretty big vote of confidence from Jay to go from something like his Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grand Reveil to an Apple Watch, considering the former costs about 25x more than the latter.

That's a good point. Somebody left a copy of DuPont Registry in my seat on a flight, and I was struck by how it was almost exclusively watch ads between the photos of high end autos. I recall wondering how this magazine would look in a few years if smartwatches began supplanting the mechanicals. Not to mention if smart cars started replacing the autos.

I wonder if Leno has an Edition? In which case the Jaeger is only 2x more. ;-)

Hybrid power plant autos, like the Porsche 918 and LaFerrari, have already started taking over the high end sports car segment.

I've only seen Jay wear the steel Watch on Milanese loop. :)

is that seriously a Samsung ad! hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Click to expand...

haha. I don't think it is an "ad" per se, like a TV spot. It may just be one of those pics taken for social media advertising. Or maybe a magazine shot. I dunno. It looks professionally done. Samsung is a sponsor of the NBA for those that don't know.

JJ Redick (Shooting Guard for the Clippers) is a watch fanatic with a large collection of Pateks, Rolex's, etc., but says that the Apple Watch (while great) is not for him personally, and he does not own one.

This may be a repost, but all-star PG Chris Paul (AKA "Point Gawd") is sporting an AW while advertising for Samsung:

Other candid photos indicates he really wears it on a day-to-day basis. SS with WSB.

Oops! Clearly he's not really using the phone in his hand if he's sporting an AW!

You said that is a Samsung ad? I'd be surprised if this was professionally done because the horizon is not aligned. Those window frames should be exactly horizontal and perpendicular with the edge of the frame. Very sloppy if this is really an ad.
 
The Carmichael Show S1E3 air date 9/2/2015. Finally cleaning out my DVR.

SS with black leather (classic).
