Cannot wait to see who will be the first person to do a "will it grind?" or that 50mm gun test on these solid golden puppies...

If I would buy an Apple Watch than I would buy the cheapest one $399 of alliminium, then I can spray it with gold spray. I would than save about 11,000 rather than wasting these money, when all Apple watch types got same functions and everything.

before the prices were announced, I really thought I would buy a rose gold apple watch and at the time I thought it would probably cost around $3000-4000 and if it was really in that price range, I would've bought one. but it's just way our of my price range right not. I'd definitely get it if I had the money though.

All this Apple Watch thing, it's actually a test, they want to see just how consumers react. It looks like they are curious about demand, which is good news for sellers. Unboxing with gloves? Oh dear... sad times...

this test has been going on for many years. you don't seem to realise that watches worth tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars have existed for a very long time and many are sold annually. according to numbers from the association of swiss watchmakers, roughly 3000 watches worth $100,000 up are sold annually! around 20,000 of value between $10,000 and $100,000 and another staggering 600,000 for value between $3000 and $10,000 dollars. and this is just Swiss watches. with the rising number of people with disposable incomes and the rapidly growing nouveau-rich middle class in China and the far east who love luxury products, one can only expect these numbers to grow.

The will make far less certain versions of rolex chronograph watch. That is why their worth more . The gold is a minor value to the collecters. Some Rolex chronograph watches are some of the most collectableabiity in the worldwide.

can buy rolex chronograph watch for the much , and in 10 years will double in value most cases or triple

value - May 24, 2015 at 3:57am

if you are looking at past performance to predict future value just the value of gold itself has gone up 5x. 10 years from now no matter how useless this apple watch will be - just having the first generation gold Apple watch as a collectors item will be worth more then any rolex that you buy now at similar price. Even if that isn't the case you can scrap the gold on the watch to get 5x the value. There's a lot more to this watch then what your computer from 5 years ago is made out of.

I really think you have a point here. having a first-gen apple watch edition in twenty years will likely be a big thing and apple could actually make it cooler if they made the edition limited as in say, 50,000 units. one does wonder though, how much is a first-gen iPhone worth today? Collecting big swiss watches is always gonna be a thing though, there's so much culture and history involved. there's a certain thrill to wearing a mechanical watch. probably because you know it's still going to be working when you're long dead and that your grandchildren and their children may well wear them. one must really not compare these two (not yet). the apple watch will have to become much more resilient and the battery self-sufficient for it to be actually considered as something worth collecting and leaving for your children, like a Patek Philippe.

I had a few people tell that it was unfair for Apple to price the solid gold Apple Watch Edition from $10k-$17k, they wanted the price to be around $1000 so everyone can afford one lol. If something is to expensive you you can't offered it and it out of your price range then find something that you can offered. In this case they start at $350.

Love my 42ss watch. But I too agree they overpriced the gold model. Should have been $6500 max.

NutCrackingWindy - May 23, 2015 at 6:51pm

I don't get why people are as upset at the price of a gold watch. If you can't afford it then buy something in your price range.

Price is unreasonable
