David Letterman takes aim at the Apple Watch, unfortunately misses the mark

Making fun of Apple products can be very funny, as Jimmy Fallon proved the other night, but what happens when it’s not? Well, you get David Letterman‘s Top 10 Complaints about the Apple Watch. Letterman is of course a legend of the business, but this attempt at a bit falls flat on its face, not because it’s completely unfunny – there are one of two funny (but harsh) complaints in there – but because it has hardly any awareness of the actual device itself and what it is. Yes, we like our Apple jokes to be intelligent. But we’ll let you judge for yourself:

We can only imagine that the Late Show is trying to jump on the Apple Watch media bandwagon with their own humorous take, but it feels like they’ve just drawn some words out of a hat to make this list. I mean “I’m sick of lugging around the extension cord”, really? It’s not like the Apple Watch is going to be any worse off thanks to this video, but it’s not particularly reassuring for the future of smartwatches if parts of the media still can’t get their heads around the technology.
