A voice in the clip says, “My boyfriend’s Apple Watch is charging on his wrist.” The video shows a man wearing an Apple Watch, which shows the time and a charging sign on its screen.

“Why is it filling up on your wrist, honey?” the voice asks before saying, “Show me your mechanism.”

A hand is later seen lifting up the sleeve of the man’s shirt, which shows a charging cable extending from the watch and “going all the way up his shirt,” as a voiceover noted in the video. The man is shown flashing a thumbs up at the camera before the video ends.
