Netflix spoofs wearables with 'Netflix Watch'

Brett Molina | USA TODAY

Netflix is a week late to the April Fools' Day party, but their latest prank might be one of their funniest.

The company released a video poking fun at the smartwatch market with its own spoof wearable dubbed The Netflix Watch. It's basically a smartphone with a watch strap. "It's the vast world of Netflix right on your wrist," the narrator proclaims.

The video shows scenarios where one might use a Netflix Watch, such as while jogging or driving in your car. Because you can't miss the latest season of House of Cards.

The timing of Netflix's video is interesting, since the Apple Watch becomes available for pre-orders Friday. It will launch on April 24. Meanwhile, reviews of Apple's smartwatch have already rolled out.
