Overview

Background

The brief was to demonstrate the durability and toughness of Apple Watch, shown in an irreverent, visceral way that hadn't quite been done before.

The TVC puts Apple Watch Series 7 through its paces, from everyday mishaps to more serious accidents to the realms of the ridiculous. We start off seeing the knocks it might get in a wide range of various sports from tennis to ice-skating, then progress from those to the more unexpected. Everything adds up to demonstrating the durability of Apple Watch.

Execution

The Apple Watch Series 7's toughness is celebrated in a spot showing the countless times it has to cope with "hard knocks."

Outcome

The perception of the Watch's durability was bolstered successfully
