Just as politicians are showing up in Iowa ahead of the upcoming Presidential election, the Apple Watch is starting to pop up in fashion magazines around the world as the Apple Watch announcement nears. Angela Ahrendts, Apple's new head of retail and former CEO of Burberry, is pulling strings (threads?) to get the watch seen in fashionable places. It's probably not much of a sales job... what fashion or style magazine wouldn't want early access to the most anticipated fashion accessory of 2015?
We wrote how Self magazine featured a sporty version of the Apple Watch on a female model. Now Hong Kong magazine East Touch and the U.K.-based Style magazine are both featuring young men nonchalantly wearing various versions of the Apple Watch. One is even yawning into is fist. I know I wouldn't be ignoring the watch if it was on my wrist, before it was publicly available, but that's just me.
Speaking of public availability, Apple has their next event scheduled for Monday, March 9. In a week, we should get final pricing and availability info on the Apple Watch. There's also likely to be at least one update to iOS 8 to support this new gadget, and the apps that will take advantage of the watch.
