Rolex App on iPad is incredible.

Just downloaded it now and it's very very good. Plus it's free!

I totally agree
Neglecting to have an android version is a serious marketing oversight by Rolex.

The App contains stunning macro photos. Also has animated close ups of working watches and wallpapers. If you have an iPad - get it! If not, then more info than this might make you jealous

It's a memory-gobbler though - make sure you can spare the 830MB...!

No iPhone version? Just searched the App Store and there a bunch of paid apps, but nothing free that appears official Rolex.

Nope. Not HD so on new iPad it's not as nice. From what I saw only content that is already on their web. But nicely packaged.

Pretty cheap considering it's an official Rolex product.

Just cannot see the point if you have a PC just go to Rolex.com and see it all for free and on a much bigger screen.

people in emerging markets do not use desktops, it's all about apps, native/hybrid there

ask them to go onto a website and they'll go "what, just send me the link to the app"

Well worth the megabytes..


It is one of the best iOS watch apps out there. There is the full National Geographic movie on attempting a K2 climb, and other movies that are just stellar. Although it is a behemoth of a download, its worth every megabyte as there is no stuttering of movie/animation playback because the entire app is resident on the device. Needless to say, after going through the app, you will want to get out of the armchair and explorer something, anything... I have a review of the app here... When I look at other iOS watch apps, the Rolex (and IWC and Omega) apps are the ones that have set the bar of all the others...

Which app are you guys talking about? Rolex Perpetual Spirit Magazine?

There are several rolex related apps when I do a search.

Peter, unless I'm misunderstanding you, a PC is hard to put in your carry on bag or take it to Starbucks
