Funny.

On my computer, which has the AppleSymbols font installed, this watch emoji looks like the watch-shaped predecessor to the beach ball of doom, a pixelated thing with hands outstretched, which on older Mac OS versions meant something was stalling or taking time to do.

I used HTML to force AppleSymbols to be used whenever it is available. Otherwise, because my computer runs a pre-Yosemite version of OS X, it would appear to be a white-rimmed, round, cartoony emoji watch.

Now I'm looking at this on my iPhone, with the latest iOS installed, and apparently iOS does not come installed with AppleSymbols. It's just defaulting to the latest rendition of AppleColorEmoji, in which the watch appears to be a rather good-looking Apple Watch. Weird.

It's also kinda funny how I can type the Apple logo on my computer but not my phone. Meh.
