February 17, 2016
The popularity of Apple technology has no boundaries.

But, as it turned out, the comfort and good build – still not all the ingredients for success.
Let’s find out who is from celebrities wearing Apple Watch and who refused to use it for some reasons.
Famous singer Pharrell got his Apple Watch Edition even before the Apple started to sell them.

It is difficult to say the size of Katy’s Apple Watch, 38 mm or 42 mm.
Canadian rapper and actor Drake also posted a photo of himself wearing Apple Watch. I am not sure how many would be dare to wear such expensive smart watch in combination with red tracksuit and at the same time appear in the same aggressive and thoughtful pose.
Beyonce – popular American pop star, got her Apple Watch Edition almost before anyone else, in any case, well before the official start of sales. Apple didn’t deny the rumors that they made her a generous gift in exchange for participation in a public relations campaign. Personal Beyonce’s watches cost about $20,000.
Who else but Karl Lagerfeld wants to wear not only the original accessories, but also those that exist today in limited quantities. This, the artistic director of Chanel House is wearing the most expensive Apple Watch Edition with a golden strap. Price of his watches is about $24,000.
Yes, it’s a dog and it has two Apple Watches! The son of Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin bought for his dog two gold Apple Watch worth 12 thousand dollars each.
President of the United States refused to use Apple Watch for safety reasons. It is known that Obama used Apple Watch for several months as a tracker of activity, which he was forced to abandon for a number of reasons, one of which – private and public safety concerns. As a replacement for Apple Watch he chose FitBit.
Jay is the executive editor of Business Insider and in one of his interview he said: “After a month with the watch, the newness of the device has worn off, and I am left with a product that’s not a must-have. It’s very first version. I believe that in a year, or more likely two, this product will be much better. I would rather have $400-plus to put toward other things in life.”
Vanessa Friedman, Chief Fashion Critic at The New York Times created a post and said that she is breaking up with her Apple Watch. The relationship was, despite all expectations, not what she needed. “All the focus on San Francisco and Apple’s next big innovation this week (streaming!) made me realize it was not playing my tune.”
