Apple Launches ‘Quit Quitting with Apple WatchNew Year Ads Across Social and YouTube Shorts

The campaign leans on behavioral motivation to keep resolutions from fading after the first week.

Overview

  • Apple began releasing short spots in late December 2025 to position the smartwatch as a fitness motivator ahead of 2026 resolutions.
  • The videos depict users running away from a bed, a recliner, and a bar stool to signal resisting sedentary temptations.
  • Each ad briefly shows the Workout app delivering real-time pace readouts and activity segment updates along with Activity Ring closure alerts.
  • The spots close with the line “Don’t Give In,” and one notes that most people abandon resolutions by January 9.
  • Distribution includes Apple’s social channels with the clips also made available on YouTube Shorts.
