Apple Shares New 'Quit Quitting' Apple Watch Ads

Ahead of 2026 and associated New Year's resolutions, Apple has started sharing new social media ads focused on the Apple Watch as a motivational tool.

In a series of "quit quitting" spots, Apple Watch owners run away from a bed, a recliner, and a bar stool. Each spot includes a glimpse of the Apple Watch Workout app and messages that the device provides while running. The Apple Watch is able to provide updates on pace and activity segment, as well as alerts when activity rings are closed.

Each ad ends with the tagline "Don't Give In," and one ad also says that most people have quit their resolutions by January 9. Each ad is titled "Quit quitting with Apple Watch."

Apple has been sharing the ads on social media, and they've also been uploaded to YouTube Shorts.

Apple Watch's Quirkiest App May Be Gone for Good

Remember Walkie-Talkie? Apple is apparently betting you won't. The push-to-talk app has vanished from the first developer beta of watchOS 27, disappearing from both the app list and Control Center, with no way to bring it back. Apple hasn't said why, but it's probably because not many people used it. If you include yourself in that cohort, here's a quick explainer. Walkie-Talkie...

Oh I need to stand up? I AM ALREADY FFS. Looks like you've been a couch potato today eh??? Dude I did a 50km ultra yesterday and you died half way through it QUIT BUGGING ME. FEED ME. Have a nice animation for getting your exercise goal? It's 11AM, I've just gone for a slash and I did most of it staggering back from the pub at 2AM. Grr. Feed me CJSUK feed me. Oooh now I have a wrist rash!

“New Years Resolutions” are stupid.

If you truly wish to better yourself, you would do it at any point of the year. If you must wait for a new year for it, you’re not in it to win it.

It’s the truth.

Apple quit on the watch and hasn't added anything meaningful in the workout metrics for the watch in years. The rings are a joke and the way Apple calculates calories burned is comical.

Good ads. I hadn't worn a watch since first grade, but since the first Apple Watch it's become a great addition to daily life.
