Your opinion is only based on a few decades of Rolex second hand prices. As far as we know, mechanical wrist watches may someday be as popular and collectible as pocket watches or typewriters are now. They make around a million per year, so they aren't exactly rare.
Well, I was all set to drop close to NZ$1000 on a Stainless Steel Black Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE...
...except Apple, in its infinitesimal "wisdom", isn't releasing any LTE-equipped Series 3 models in New Zealand.
Nice one, Apple. I'll hold onto my S0 Sport and my money until you pull your head out of the dunny.

I'm pretty unsure. I have an AW0 in black stainless steel. I never leave without my phone and don't think $10 per month for cellular makes much sense. My AW0 is slow and I mostly use it for notifications and time/weather.
I could wait for a good deal on an AW2 black stainless? How much different would my experience be between an AW2 and and AW3 wifi?
Unless I find more apps to run on the watch I could save $400 and wait for AW4 or for mine to break down. Certainly a 2 or 3 would be faster but how much? I have to decide if speed is worth the upgrade or is there some other feature I would use on a newer watch? I guess I'm not seeing it yet.
Maybe I'm missing something?

I heard that you can't talk on the new I watch. Now I hear that it's waterproof and you can talk on it.
You can talk on all the watches, they just need your phone within Bluetooth distance. Series 2 was waterproof. The new Watch adds a $10 a month fee to use without your phone nearby and an ugly red dot.
Go to www.apple.com. Look for Apple Watch, not I watch. Then no more hearsay needed. You can read it all yourself.
I can't wait to have connectivity without my phone! I love my phone too much and my excuse, especially as a parent, is I need it with me wherever I go in case of an emergency call. I then get distracted with other things. This way I can let go of my 'crutch' and still know that I am reachable to my kids. The original Apple Watch has stopped me from being tempted to check my phone when driving and this just takes it to a whole new level. Yay!
The Series 3 Apple Watch has a 50 m water resistance rating, the same as Series 2.
I'd like to use the apple watch but the garmin I have with a week-long battery (a bit less with longer tracking runs) remains the only viable option... Though given how Apple has paid little attention to battery across its whole range, I doubt future series will see a 7-day battery life.
Not upgrading as this will be my first apple watch purchase also! Well I am going to order and see if I like it.................I think!
Passing on upgrading, minor changes from series 2. Can wait another year or two.. or three. Apple hasn't taken face development seriously yet. For all the talk about Apple TV being a hobby device, I feel the Apple Watch is even more so for them. They haven't done much to allow their most personal device.. to be just that.. personal. You really can't customize anything. The cellular thing is cool but come on.. 10.00 a month.. or 120.00 a year isn't worth it. This should be free as long as you have an active cellular account.
I actually purchased the series 1 when it first came out and based on what I use it for, I'm not sure I will pull the trigger on the AW3. I have a divers watch I wear to the beach and pool and I really don't want to be bothered with calls/texts/emails when i'm in the water anyway so that feature doesn't really have a draw for me personally.
Ah --
What do you guys want to bet that an LTE- and GPS-equipped AW can successfully use a Find My iPhone feature?
The shortcoming of the earlier AW models was (1) the S0 and S1 couldn't know where they were at all times because of lack of GPS, and (2) not even the S2 could discover where your iPhone was, nor could it download maps and directions, without a cellular data connection.
All previous third-party attempts to locate and guide you to your phone depended on the phone being nearby, remember? But that might not be the case now.
I would love this. I love the "find my phone by pinging it" feature but this would be so useful. Also I would like to see the apps return that left Watch OS a few months back. I used to love checking eBay from my wrist.
Totally agree. I will upgrade due to lte. But your correct on the face. That Samsung gear s3 frontier is a nice looking Watch would have gotten it but limited use with iPhone
I plan to upgrade from a stainless steel series 0 to sport series 3.
Would like to get another stainless steel just for the sapphire, but refuse to pay £599, so instead I'll be getting a £399 sport LTE. Just wish Apple would bring sapphire to the sport model.

Apple Watch series 2 here with GPS. No need to upgrade because I don't need the LTE one.
