Coach Apple Watch Bands Set to Launch on June 12

[American Hero]

Why does everyone seem to think that the same teams that work on software also design watch bands? Seriously, every time something like this comes up you have people constantly complaining about how "Apple needs to focus on [insert issue] instead of this." I personally applaud the effort to make Apple Watch more than just a geeky wrist computer. Sure, it has many issues, but again, that's surely a different group of people working on it.

Apple can't get anything right anymore. The company has stupid executives. Like I used to love Apple products, but Tim Cook and his imbecile executives have just turned me into a hater of the company. Like how does Jony Ive design such an ugly OS... You're a world class designer and THIS is the best you can come up with? Not only that, but as CEO how do you even approve of it?

Why is it there's a dedicated software team... Yet it seems like every update has to be pulled back, the software is noticeably more buggy than before, and certain features seem to be missing from the OS that should be there already?

Everything Apple puts on the market these days is buggy, underpowered, and sold in girly colors for a premium price.

I just want to hear that the AW2 is coming soon. I'm guessing if Coach is releasing bands the form factor will stay the same.

If I'm gonna spend more the $40 on a BAND for my Apple Watch it better be plated in GOLD! I refuse to spend $150 on a flippin' band. Ain't happening.

If you think that's expensive, don't ever buy an expensive mechanical watch. An OEM leather strap for my Omega SMPc is £190. Without (I think) the deployment.

I darent even check for an OEM strap for my Submariner!

Damn, I hope TC doesn't check this site...watch strap prices may increase.

[nezr]

YAY!! More ugly bands!

They should sell these from Gachapon vending machines in run-down malls and smoky arcades.

 

[avanpelt]

You have to wonder how many they think they will sell...

Well, I know for sure that there will be people who buy one simply because it has the name "Coach" on it. As with any other brand, there are people who have an obsession with Coach products.

 

[valenrandy]

Has anyone noticed that the lugs on the far left watch (blue with black stains) stick out past the watch body?
I doubt that was the intended look/design.

Watch Bands here, Watch Bands there...update the MacBook Pro!

This is not an Apple product, and is not going to be to be promoted by them - so why is this on MacRumours?
And why are people bitching about Apple here?

Yes, but they'd have to have bought an Apple Watch first. How many people who bought the AW, would be Coach buyers also?

 

[now i see it]

This is really exciting news!

This product, like a bunch of other third-party products that are routinely featured on MacRumors, works *with* Apple products. Also, it would not surprise me at all if Tim drops the Coach name in the WWDC Keynote on 6/13. Coach is a very recognizable brand with a devoted following, much like Apple itself.

Goes perfect with my pink boa and flower power imac

They might not appeal to everyone, but these iMacs are actually tasteful and fun.

These new Coach watch bands are actually terrible however. Great way to uglify wrists.

 

[Gaprofitt]

Let the Apple watch die already.. Epic failure..

 

[avanpelt]

How many people who bought the AW, would be Coach buyers also?

Based on the women I see around Atlanta who wear Apple Watches and carry Coach bags, plenty.

This is the state of Apple's innovation recently, or lack there of.

 

[TMRJIJ]

Awesome, everything we need, more watch bands.

Like this post if you don't care.

Like seriously, who cares about watch bands? I think Tim Cook is the only guy in the world who would show off watch bands and their new designs on a Keynote presentation.

I can't stress how much of a moron the guy is.

Yes, because the most personal and customizable device of all their products shouldn't Have band options. /s
But it shouldn't be advertised so much in the keynotes.

That flower band is pretty hideous.

Agreed.
Some people have weird taste...

 

[Gooberton]

Omg!!!!! Stop
With the watch bands. No One cares

Dude, chill. Stop being so angry. Stop doing this to yourself and let that BP come down. Why hurt your health for a company?

I come to this website multiple times a day for years and years.
I rarely ever post a comment.
I logged in just to join others and say...

This watch band thing is the first time I have been truly embarrassed to promote Apple.
No matter how good their phones, macs, and more are....
..The watchband marketing belittles the entire operation.

It concerns me that the marketing for macs and phones earns the same passion that the watchbands do.
Does Apple really see the watchbands and the computers as the same achievement of industry ?

For the first time in more than 15 years, my faith in Apple is seriously weakening.

Apple: For the love of God, all creatures great and small... NEVER mention a watchband again.
Sell them, but never mention them.

It.Must.Stop.

You missed the point.
