Interestingly in a past career I worked on a dairy and beef farm. Relatives also are in the business. I do see this from that perspective also.
Not really... that's your opinion so it's fine that you're sharing it but careful stating in a way that can only be taken as pompous and obnoxious. Do you have a strong argument why it is a waste of money? I respectfully disagree with your opinion.
You don't represent everyone therefore "What a waste of money..." carries little weight if compared to say someone like me that spends money wherever I please, including for the new Apple Watch.
Am I hurting anyone if I pay $1000 more for the same watch? Nope!
Am I affecting you or someone you know personally because I have a different taste than you? Nope!
Do I feel like I'm wasting my money when I buy "nice things" for myself or my family? Nope!
So there you have it in a nutshell.
If we applied the logic of "Waste of money..." and lived by it I wonder what the world would look like today.
Thanks!

What? I have no idea what this person is trying to say.
[doublepost=1474852167][/doublepost]I don't get that commercial at all.... find the bands a bit fugly (leather) wouldn't mind the orange one but I can get one off amazon for like $5.
I however say for those that like it go for it.... who am I to pass judgement. Oh who am I kidding I'm a judgmental A hole but I won't ever put someone down for spending their money. Hell I've spent $2000 on a paintball marker before..... sold it for the same price after 3 years but what people spend their money on is none of my business.
Thank you for this. Very well stated. So much vitriol in this thread and your post was a breath of fresh air.
With respect, Hermes, Bvlgari, LV, et al, are totally over priced, outmoded and outdated, expensive rubbish. Top quality is entirely open to interpretation as well.
The women I know are strong and protect themselves. They are happy with themselves and so are their loved ones. Getting gifts for lovers can be fun, but it doesn't need to be a brand steeped in old thinking like Hermes. Women and men don't need a bag brand to valid their feelings about themselves or their lovers.
That's sad someone would make jokes about another woman's bag. Some of Hermes stuff looks real cheap. The joke is on the joker in my opinion. The embroidering and stitching on some items look tacky and imperfect. People pay top dollar for imperfection? Look critically at the piece.
I have the "bucks", people I know who have the bucks don't flash it. In fact the people who I know that flash cash are loaded with debt which is ironic and suggests to me Hermes et al is all about servicing some of our deepest insecurities as human beings.
This black band Apple Watch looks entirely more classy and better quality than this other ratty and overdone Hermes leather number. Friend, simplicity is the key always.

You know what they say - "Opinions are like a***holes - everybody's got one."
Sports band is better by design, better by the environment. It might not fit one's outdated view of the world, that's what needs to be overcome.
This looks horrible as the face color totally clashes with the mediocre (at best) shirt and jacket. I guess if your going for The Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory look it's a win, Anything else is a epic fail. If you were using sport band because your against leather that is cool, that is your opinion and respected. But you could easily dress this up with a lighter maybe grey or white band or metal band and at least attempt to coordinate the face color.
