When you can buy a reasonably nice, handsome metal dial watch for $400, is
the gimmick of having email notifications appear on a watch face enough to
overcome the stigma of being an adult and wearing a watch that looks like i
t was made for a 13 year old girl?

While I don't own an Apple, or Watch, I don't believe any adult who
chooses to buy and wear one will be stigmatized by one of these:

Personally

I have a TAG Heuer and an Omega GMT, but my daily wear watch is a Seiko
Solar with nice big numbers which make for easy reading and accuracy
which excedes that of my two Swiss watches.

Doesn't look like the cheaper $400 plastic one.

there is no plastic apple watch, nor are they $400.

Besides, the image has been
manipulated so much it looks like a computer rendering.

manipulated or not, it's accurate.

More like $1000 for that one.

for that version, but there are other options.

the apple watch starts at $299, and actually less if you shop around.

Like the image of a model with ZERO skin flaws...

no.
