It makes the aluminum and steel watches look cheap (part of Apple's marketing strategy).
You have to either be
a) stupid
or b) filthy rich
... to even consider buying that thing which will be out of date this time next year.
price here is irrelevant, buyers have enough $$$ to do whatever... it's a fashion piece and something Apple wants celebrities and public figures to wear
$10,000 is for the rubber strap.
$17,000 for the cool leather one.
Prices are up on Apple now
$1,099 for the Space Black 42 MM sweet!![]()
That's the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile. Do you think a normal person would spring for the Edition because the other models look "cheap"? Your statement would make sense if there was a $200-$300 price difference.
Never. He is not Apple. Only Apple can confirm something. Gruber is not Apple.All of the naysayers owe Gruber an apology.
Exactly. There are plenty of people who will spend far more than that on a watch that just tells the time.
The $10,000 Apple Watch Edition is *NOT* *NOT* *NOT* for the average person. The price tag isn't the only reason. It is for people who are willing to spend 5 figures on a watch. There are exceedingly few watches that have an intrinsic value of >$10,000 (unless you made a Moto 360-sized watch out of a solid lump of gold, or encrusted with many diamonds...) Yet people regularly pay far more than that for a watch.
I do fully agree with the arguments that a $50,000 Rolex won't become obsolete in 3 years the way an Apple Watch may, but still - people who are interested in a $10,000 Apple Watch aren't going to be the kind who care that it is obsolete in 3 years - they'll buy the $10,000 Apple Watch 2 next year. And the $10,000 Apple Watch 3 the year after that. (And still have spent less money than a $50,000 Rolex. And don't even get me started on $1 million Patek Philippe watches...)
Wow. Was the 'one sixth of production run is Edition' story a 'fact' or a rumour? Shifting a million $10k watches seems inplausible.
