Anyone wishing for a higher end Apple watch

[chrfr]

So you're the one!

The current set of apple watch 5 is perfect already.
Look at how first generation gold apple watch turned out. Would you want to spend that much then look this old aged compared to watch 5 now?

Certain kind of product ends up in certain range because of how fast it get outdated. Look at a traditional mechanical watch like Rolex. Their popularity among people has never been this high with ever increasing price tag. Yet, Rolex can maintain that brand value because it doesn't get outdated that fast or ever (subjective). On the other end, Apple watch offers best of functionality in this age of time, but it's electronics. Every year, much better product comes out. I wouldn't want to own watch 3 and suddenly, after a month, watch 4 comes out. That was huge improvement.

That kind of advances in very short period makes more valuable apple watch like gold almost too luxury like for only minute selection of people.

You can’t compare a Rolex to an Apple Watch. A Rolex, [depending on the model can actually gain value]. Plus, the cost of materials and craftsmanship alone trumps any smart watch that’s manufactured from silicon.

there’s a place for mechanical watches and a place for smart watches, a smart watch is a ‘superfluous’ item, but is changing that aspect, because of all the health advancements it’s made over the last three years.

Please read again. I wasn’t comparing Apple Watch and Rolex. I was merely pointing out the differences why Apple Watch can never be like rolex.

They need to allow you to get the components upgraded if they want people to go for that.

You compared a Rolex to the Apple Watch multiple times in your post in terms of pricing/value And overall what’s considered ‘outdated’. Again, they’re two separate entities of watches that serve different purposes. Rolex is a brand With heritage, the Apple Watch is a multi-Faceted wrist/health computer.
