Check this out. Another slight digression so let me try and make it fit here. If they do go this route (lte on one model and a thinner form factor on another) it could change perception a bit. The lte models would be more tech oriented and the luxury thin versions more like the Tag Heuer connected watch which really does look like a nice timepiece besides the smart capabilities. Maybe less frequent updates so it’s not outdated and even the ability to switch out the insides. Makes a premium price more palatable.
It’s going to be very interesting to see how this space and product evolve over the next couple of years. Frankly I’d buy the tag version over the ceramic and Hermes today, if it ran iOS! There might be room for an even higher end Apple Watch in the 1600 range.

If you guys enjoyed the hodinkee articles give this one a read. Very impressed! I carry a second blackberry (android) anyway just for the hub and keyboard so this is avtually an option way way down the road when I feel like rewarding myself again. Good to have goals.
