Wonder how much they will be worth 20 years from now?
The weight of the gold, most likely.
And there is no need to wait 20 years as most likely they already worth the weight of the gold they are made of.

I predict an unopened one to be worth an absolute fortune in the future!

When did Apple ever compare AW to luxury mechanical watches? Jony Ive said the complete opposite:The Apple Watch was compared to luxury mechanical watches due to clever marketing. But then again your idea of an expensive luxury mechanical watch might be in the ball park of $1000.

Actions speak louder than words, no?
Hermes bracelet? Golden Apple Watch?
..
I am still baffled to this day exactly what Apple thought they were going to achieve with this garbage? Not the Watch but the low cost materials And MASSIVELY inflated price?

The article implies that the gold Apple Watch was a flop, which is a view held by those who don't understand how marketing works. Quite apart from a failure, it was a smashing success because the point was never to sell a large quantity of gold watches, but rather to generate a huge buzz and draw attention to how the Apple Watch was in a very different category than the rest of the smart watch market, including that it could be a high fashion accessory depending on the bands, etc., you chose. Ingenious. All of that was achieved, and that initial introduction kick started the Apple Watch into the tremendous success it is today where it essentially owns the smart watch category.
So your idea of marketing is to generate bad and negative press... riigghhtt....
I think you mean different alloy, not different isotope.You mean, like a different isotope? /smarta$$
I meant they will be rare in 20 years time and that will also factor in the price.
Marketing is a tough concept for many who don't work in the field. You mistakenly assume Apple's goal was to get tech pundits to like it or was concerned about comments that it was outlandish to produce a gold smart watch. LOL. That was the entire point. The gold watch created a worldwide buzz about the smart phone launch that was worth vastly more than the whatever the gold watches cost them to produce. Apple would have been ahead even if they never sold a single gold watch!
What 99% of the people who heard something about it retained is that the new smart watch also came in a gold edition and with special bands that celebrities were wearing and that it was being sold in high end places, i.e., something very different from the other cheap efforts like the Pebble, Fitbit types, and other market leaders of the day as Apple entered the market.
The over priced gold Apple Watch did nothing that you claim, nothing... it was a joke and still is today.
If you think Apple needs a 12 grand Apple device to generate buzz, you don’t know Apple.

Which is absolutely nothing to Apple, especially considering it's not even a sustainable product line. Complete waste of time for them and everyone else involved. Future evolved species will look back on that moment and just shake their head at the stupidity of all involved.
