I see your have your priorities and goals straight in life.
Even so, I fail to see how a woman would
ever get
"excited
" over an Apple Watch, regardless of the wrist band. Most women don't like techie toy stuff, particularly as jewelry substitutes and let's face it, a watch is ONLY meant to be jewelry. The fact it tells time is irrelevant to it's appeal to a woman. Rather if you want to attract a (let's face it shallow) woman by impressing her with "things", instead, put on an Armani suit, drive up in a Corvette or Porsche and come out with a Rolex on and the gold digger type, at least will be ALL OVER YOU.
Now maybe if you're a guy and you want to attract another guy, you could probably impress with an Apple Watch. For instance, Tim Cook can probably get away with wearing an Apple Watch for a couple of different reasons. First of all, he's not looking for a woman so he doesn't have to worry about the nerd factor. Guys
are impressed by Apple Watches and so Tim's all set! Two is that he's already well known to be rich and owns a tech toy company so it's expected he support his product regardless of whether the product is classy or not.
I maintain you might as well get the base watch for $550 because the only
girl you're going to impress with an Apple Watch on your wrist (save for the 0.01% of women that like tech stuff) is the inflatable type.
Of course,
real women that aren't just impressed by money and "bling" really won't care that much what's on your wrist (but you better have other things going like charisma and/or intelligence), but I'm going by this idea that it's worth spending 250-750 extra for a high-end leather wrist band over the regular leather one (more compared to the base sport band). Longevity doesn't come into play because the Watch will be out of date in a year or less for as long as Apple sells this thing and that's because it's redeeming features aren't style, but FUNCTION and that function will change massively over time. Frankly, if you only want the watch to tell time and look good, a used Rolex is by FAR a better choice, particularly to impress the shallow women that are attracted to such things.
Yeah, but what
kind of lifestyle? If you're going to Comicon, you're probably OK wearing an Apple Watch. If you're going to a 5 star restaurant, not as much....
Hey! Look at me! I'm Dick Tracy! Watch me talk into my watch! Whoa, check out my Pac-Man watch face. Now watch me play Angry Birds on it! Oh yeah, women DIG that stuff!
