Stephen Colbert couldn’t contain his fervor for Apple’s much-anticipated product announcements on Tuesday, especially its newest innovation: the Apple Watch.
“Of course the iPhone 6 wasn’t the big surprise. Many people predicted six would come after five,” Colbert said during Tuesday’s show.
After watching Apple CEO Tim Cook make the announcement, Colbert stood, threw his arms up, and raucously cheered, ceremoniously smashing his analog watch as he celebrated.
“What?!” Colbert exclaimed. “What?! What does it do?! Give it to me! I gotta have the Apple watch. It’s finally cool to wear a calculator watch! Who’s the nerd now, Ben McGooken?!”
After announcing that, “tragically,” the Apple watch wouldn’t be available until 2015, he unveiled the “Wrist Pad.”

It’s worth noting the Colbert Repor[t] is a parody, much like Apple’s hipster rep…
I had a calculator watch in 7th grade and it was cool. I think I somewhere.
Trends run in cycles. Remember when the latest cell phones got smaller and smaller? Remember when the best watches were the thinnest?
Sounds like a loser. I can’t imagine women falling for this watch. Thinking of my wife who has a different watch for every occasion, outfit, color, etc. Why would she want to wear the same watch every day?
All I want to know is if the Apple Watch can play Fur Elise like my early-80’s Armitron. Or will that, like most of Apple’s features, show up in the “next version”?
