Apple Debuts Six New Apple Watch Adverts

Apple yesterday debuted six new adverts for the Apple Watch. The new adverts are short 15 second pieces which highlight various features of the Apple Watch (from Apple Pay to audio messages to fitness features) and how they can be useful in different contexts.

  • Sprinkle: With Apple Watch, and Apple Pay, buying something on the go is simpler than ever.
  • Date: When you get a new message Apple Watch gently lets you know it’s there, so you can see it right away.
  • Ride: Apple Watch gives you turn-by-turn directions, so if you get a little lost you won’t be for long.
  • Sing: Sending an audio message on your Apple Watch is simple. Just say it and send it.
  • Train: Apple Watch lets you check your heart rate fast so you can keep your heart beating faster.
  • Cycle: Apple Watch tracks every second of your ride, from warm up to cool down.

You can view all the adverts below the break or on YouTube.
