Take a look at the Edition ones, the extra you pay for a gold buckle won't just buy you an iPhone, it'll buy you a pretty high spec MacPro too!
"The highest-priced Apple Watch Edition is the 42mm 18-karat Yellow Gold version with a Midnight Blue Classic Buckle that also includes gold accents."
That one is actually only $15,000. The most expensive ones for some reason are the smaller 38mm, 18-karat yellow gold with the Bright Red Modern Buckle or the 38mm Rose gold with rose gray Modern Buckle, both priced at $17,000.

I find the pricing of the watch as well as the bands as excessive. I'm very curious to see how the first round of sales go, I just can't see them hitting Apple's aggressive targets.
On second thought, the Black Classic Buckle is the same as the Milanese... I'd probably go for the classic then... I'll have time to decide until April 10.
Hopefully all versions will be available in store to try them out.

I actually think Apple get the price just right. I hope the watches won't flood the market. It doesn't matter if it's too expensive for some and too cheap for others. The people who buy and wear it, will do with care. It's not like buying junkies from 5 dollars shop.
Maybe, I am a little disappointed in the pricing of their bands. The milanese seems to be somewhat reasonable. I replaced a SS band on one of my $700 Seiko watches once and I thought the $70 they charged was a little high. $450 for a SS band is so high. I might get the 42mm watch with a black band, but on Apple's site they only show the 38mm SS watch coming with a black band. The lineup is a little strange.
EDIT: I'd like to add, with the milanese band you are putting a lot of faith in a magnet to hold several hundred dollars worth of tech on your wrist. A little scary, no?
I have a $50,000 watch (Ulysse Nardin El Toro), to pay $10,000 for an apple watch that will be obsolete and plummet in value once the new iteration comes out...foolhardy.
Exactly. I wouldn't spend that much on a regular watch much less a first generation electronic device. Pretty ballsy pricing.
But you're 6'8', 275, and chew on nails, so no one would dare say it looked feminine.
If I wanted a high end designer watch I would not be even contemplating an Apple Watch, especially a Gen 1 device
Resale of the Apple Watch in 8 months will probably be low
It's not a wise investment even if it was hand assembled by some naked ladies in your living room, as it is for a watch thats mass produced in China, I'd not even contemplate it
The Modern Buckle is only available in three colors, brown, black, soft pink and midnight blue? Just those 3?
To be fair, black is the absence of color, right? So that would be 3 colors.
Apple has seriously lost it. I'll rather buy new Patek Philip on any given day then 10K electronic watch. Seriously, what is Apple thinking?!?
If he really does own it and has that much disposable income....I ask why not?
They are beautiful watches. If you have millions you probably have $50k in your couch.
food for thought. a hublot rubber strap costs $500 retail. Just saying. Yes, I own one.
