I think you are just jealous. People can spend money on whatever they want and for some people $17K is nothing but for others it's a lot.
I work in Banking and Finance, and I can tell you that for some people in my office $17K is less than a day's salary.
I wouldn't let my wife look at the Rose Gold Edition. I knew it would be love at first sight.
I doubt you're contemplating the price difference due to size when you supposedly "ordered the edition."
Something tells me you just want to add fuel to the fire.... Tsk tsk.
Detected: the common mistake of assuming money = a more fulfilled life (unless you're living in a slum in the 3rd world, which I doubt).
You make the money, it's your money to do with as you please. End of story. Your "waste of money" is somebody else's idea of a good buy. And your opinion is no more valid than theirs.
Everything you said is your opinion and you drank the luxury watch Koolaid. Those watches are only valuable to the other people who drank the Koolaid.
yeah, I'm sure that money was going to feed the children in third world countries instead, lol. Funny how you can justify throwing more money away on a luxury dumb watch but not a watch that does a ton of other things. I don't care if it spends a lifetime ticking away in a drawer somewhere, it's still just a piece of jewelry that will soon be an indication of how old-fashioned the wearer is.
No but it would buy me more nice things. I fully get that money doesn't equal happiness though.
So can i meet this Calvin?
No lie it always brings me minor joy knowing that the edition turns on, turns off, sends and receives phone calls and messages, emails, notifications, taptic feedback all the same as me little rinky dinky 369 sport.
Now
with that said,
Please let me meet this Calvin who can afford not 1 but 2 editions

You imply that all Watch owners will stop using their original Watch once the next model is available. Which you know won't be happening but it makes for a greater effect claiming so.
You can get great looking, long-lasting mechanical watches for a few thousand Dollars. You can also spend 10 times as much on one. Based on your definition, everybody buying any watch costing more than maybe $10'000 is being ripped off.
----------
Are diamonds examples of craftsmanship (their cutting might be, but that is not mainly what makes them so expensive)?
And as soon as somebody buys more than one watch, they are wasting money because you don't really wear more than one at a time. What is the difference between buying a new watch that 'lasts' two years every two years and buying 15 watches that each last 30 years?
----------
No, I've seen estimates by watch experts that put the value of the gold used more at 1k to 2k.
Post another pic of you wearing it with a note to us. Then I'll believe you.
Nothing against you, I'm just naturally suspicious of people
Yes, but what is the difference between buying dinner plates for $20 or $500 a piece?
----------
Do you really think everybody with 10k+ watch has a bodyguard?
Nope, no matter how you look at it, spending 16k on this silly, ridiculous Apple Watch is dumb.
Most things are relative, but not in this case. It's kind of like saying, it's not dumb to spend 16k on a pile of dog poo because it's all relative.
See:
No dumber than what a homeless person would think about you or I spending $750 for a SS Apple Watch. Its all relative. If I made $50M a year, spending $16K for a pile of dog poo is actually a WHOLE LOT less than me spending $750 with my income....
I can't believe all the negative remarks here on this thread. Some of u are so petty, don't know why anyone cares if someone wants to buy a $17000 dollar AW. Most people here who can afford the AW Edition. Put there self in the position to be able to buy pretty much what ever they want.
Most of u here who calling people stupid because they bought an AW Edition. Should go and take a look in the mirror, and ask yourself. Can I put myself in the position to buy what ever if I wanted to? And think on that for while.
Also there is a lot of judging going on here, and there is no need for that. There are people out there that does a lot of good with there money. The way I see it is if someone wants to buy whatever they want, with the money they work hard for. Well by all means go for it. Because I am not going to hate or judge anyone for that.
Because I for one, if there is something I want to purchase. AW EdItion etc, and I have the money for it. I am getting it period, that's just the way I roll. I was reading and article some time ago, saying that most people 80% of there thinking is negative most of the time. this is sad indeed. Because life is to short for that.
Anyway to all the members here that purchase the AW Edition, just ignore the negative comments. And I hope u all are enjoying your watch. I am still waiting on my 42mm SS link Bracelet. And please post some pictures of those Editions cheers.

Earthly riches will burn up and pass away in fire, they can NEVER satisfy. Nice things are okay, as long as we don't let them consume us.
Apart from that, Apple watch is a big bag of MEH, anyway... gold or otherwise... MEEEH.
