Rush Limbaugh still wearing his Apple Watch

Maybe this really is a product you need to own and start using before you gravitate to it. I'll be curious to see Apple's marketing campaigns going forward. It's hard to say "trust us you'll like it once you have it and start using it".

He likes it well enough to continue using it when he already owns the thing. It's not really a glowing endorsement. I think the subset of people who will buy one is much smaller than the iphone. You can purchase an iphone for $200 up front, and as I've mentioned before, it consolidated a lot of electronics (camera, phone, mp3 player). The watch does less of that. It doesn't make it a failure in any way, but I doubt it will come close to the iphone unless it does in fact pick up greater functionality in future generations. Note I have been wrong before on similar matters.

Will he still be wearing it 2 months from now? 6 months? a year? That's the question.

I wonder what he does with the activity tracker. He probably has it turned off. I can see it driving him nuts telling him to stand in the middle of a show.

I doubt Apple will want their image to be associated with him. I hope not anyways...

I am a long time listener and you would be surprised at how much Apple product he gives away to his listeners that call in, many being families and kids. Whenever a new iPhone or iPad comes out he buys them with his money and gives them away. He is and has been a long time supporter of Apple. If they didn't want to be associated in any way you know Apple's lawyers would be all over him to stop. I believe that Apple OK's what he is doing on the air with the iPhones, iPads and Macs because its free advertising to his millions of listeners of which the majority can afford Apple's products.

I mentioned in post 23, I'm sure Apple is more than happy for him to give them free advertising, but doubt they'll go out of their way to centre an ad campaign around him that's all.
