Presenting at Apple HQ.. what should I wear?

OK, so I've got to give a presentation to Apple at their HQ in Cuppertino. I'm obviously going to wear an Apple Watch series 8 but I'm very tempted to got Schwarzkopf and wear something else like one of my Casio Protreks, Seiko Astrun, or Longines Hydroconquest. I'd consider wearing my Breitling Avenger B01 but I hear watch thefts are fairly high in that area and I'm going to be dressed too nicely to give anyone a beat down. 😉

Do you think they'd throw me out if I did that?

get a wild color or print strap for your apple abomination. they will love it modded. They would not know a good watch if they saw one. They live and breath digital and analog would confuse them.

·

Apple watch, white sneakers, jeans and a black turtleneck with rolled sleeves ought to do you just fine. 😉

·

Do you have a rainbow NATO?

·

Definitely NOT Apple Watch ⌚️

·

Longines

·

How do you feel about double watching?

On on each wrist!

Do it

The ghost of Steve Jobs roams the Spaceship. You need to wear his Watch to keep him at bay. The Seiko Chariot.

·

The if you know you know piece. They certainly will.

One can never be dressed to nicely to give someone a beat down you only have to make sure your evasive so you don’t dirty your threads

·

Buy and wear the H. Moser Swiss Alp Watch, that will give them a brain freeze😉 Otherwise just take Apple or some cool vintage piece

·

Samsung smart watch

I would 'think different' and not wear the Apple Watch at all.

·

Wear an Android OS smartwatch....

Or a hand drawn on permanent marker watch.

Wear an F91W

·

Show them who's hip and wear a Casio 😎

·

Why are you there? If you're selling stuff then the Apple watch is going to help, if you're giving a tech talk then a Casio F91W or a Duro would work! 😄

And halfway through, a snarl from the front row, "That's a GATES watch!"

That's the one LOL

Are you going to spend any significant time outside of your car or Apple HQ?

Will you be wearing a Rolex?

If the answer to each of the above questions are “no,” then why are you worried about watch theft?

·

Cupertino is among the least likely places I would worry about watch theft.

The only tacky move would be to wear an android watch. The common feelings in WC towards Apple Watches is definitely not reciprocated by Apple Watch wearers. No one will care if you wear a mechanical or which one you chose. You might look like a Luddite, or an eccentric, but eccentricity is not uncommon among computer geeks. Wear what you like. You’ll see more Apple Watches at the flying saucer because they get employee discounts, and they work on them and take pride in them.

oh man, now I wish I did.

·

I won’t just be at Apple HQ. I’ve got other things to do in Palo Alto.

·

Yea, it’s a technical sales presentation.

·

Don’t just wear an Apple Watch — wear six of them.

·

Make sure you pull your laptop out of a Manila envelope

You can certainly wear whatever you like, but pissing off your potential customers does not seem like an optimal sales strategy. I expect that most Apple employees are nice, regular folks who wouldn't care what watch(es) you're wearing, but there are always exceptions. Assuming you're not just trolling and the question is legitimate, leave everything but the Apple Watch at home.

If there is any soul of Steve Jobs left in the place the obvious choice is NOMOS if you have one. It is the designers watch of choice in Germany. Like a secret handshake I have been told. That font style paired with white is literally the Apple ethos. If you can’t do that, try and snag an obscure Paulin watch from the MoMa website as the Paulin’s design their own fonts from scratch in a skunkworks pirate fashion also reminiscent of the early Apple Ethos. Or blend like you are the wallpaper and wear the Apple Watch, but make it the latest and greatest with an unusual band.

I like the Nomos idea above. Otherwise go all in and wear a Microsoft Band 2 (if you can find one).
