aBlogtoWatch looks at the 18k Gold Apple Watch Edition

[OllyW]

It's an interesting look at the Edition watch with Ariel Adams' opinions on why it's getting so much resentment and "luxury hate" from the average consumer.

The Apple Watch Edition is just that, a version of the Apple Watch for people with more disposable income, and for that reason, it causes consumer resentment. Anything specifically designed for consumption by some, and not everyone gets that response. It is just part of human nature...

...I am around cool expensive stuff I can't afford all day long. It doesn't upset me, and I just want those things to be solid products that aren't scams or meant for totally ignorant consumers. The Apple Watch Edition isn't even that expensive for gold watch. In fact, it is a rather fairly priced gold watch.

Interesting read... as were some of the comments.

Personally I would never wear the watch edition simply because I really don't like the color of yellow or rose gold. I'm curious as to whether or not they will release a white gold or platinum model at some point. Of course the problem with this is (at least from a marketing perspective) that it will be indistinguishable from the SS models unless they make some bands specific to those metals.

I don't see a problem with future editions being made out of platinum or white gold, maybe they didn't want to do it with the first ver.
