Good grief. A spectacular way to demonstrate both wealth and a complete lack of any class whatsoever.
How much will it be worth in 1 year or even 5 years? Doesn't sound like a good investment (and a watch at that price should be an investment)
Ugh, the Apple community is going to start getting picked on for these gaudy items. Just handing the fandroids mud to sling our way.
This Apple watch thing is bizzaroworld. Please stop Apple. You're losing your marbles.![]()
Actually there is an interesting detail here, they are offering a gold apple watch with a row of diamonds for $7500. Which indicates that the price of the edition will probably be closer to $5k than $10k (based on wild estimates flying around).
I agree that this maybe the most interesting thing about the article. If they are planning on selling a 24K version with diamonds for $7500.00, it would seem that the edition version of the watch will have to come in significantly lower than that or apple risks not selling very many.
I really like the looks of the apple edition version and have been hoping that we are going to have a situation similar to the Ipad. Many "tech journalists" thought they were going to be in the $1000+ range and then Apple announces pricing starting at $500.00 and the place went nuts.
I think in this case the sport will start at $349.00, the standard edition will start at $499.00 and the edition will start at $999.00. I hope that they announce the pricing soon, so I know how much I need to save up.
The Lux Watch line stands out thanks to its meticulous production processes. Each piece is disassembled inside Brikk's state-of-the-art laboratory in Los Angeles by a team of skilled engineers. They are hand polished, then plated with five layers of diverse metals before their final plating in either two layers of gold or platinum.

Please tell me you're 5. Or this is sarcasm.
At that price, I'd expect it to outperform my Casio. Got it when I was 8 and was second hand when it was given to me. Never even had to change the battery. It's been a total trooper over the years, surviving everything I've been through.
This diamond-encrusted gold Edition Apple Watch makes me so angry that I just have to post a comment on MacRumors about it.

What's wild is that some people with more money than brains will fall for this scam. those tiny pinhead size diamonds are near worthless individually.

Like buying a Porsche.

Apple Watch's success (in just about every way imaginable) will be the envy of the entire industry. What seems cheesy to you now (these features I'm speaking about) will become increasingly expected of watches over time.
The Apple Watch will sell millions on its opening weekend and over 20 million in its first year. In the following years its growth will be massive. Beyond sales, it will receive rave reviews by both tech critics and respected watch enthusiasts. It will be considered a great fxxxing watch-- but some people just don't have the imagination to grasp paradigm shifts before they happen.
When you weigh out what is more important, a long lasting battery with traditional functionality, or a (subjectively) beautiful complex computer on your wrist-- I'm betting on the future-- It's going to be no contest.
If that opinion makes me 5 years old, then okay, I'm 5. But I'm not the one that's going to look like an fool in retrospect.
