I play a lot of soccer and run a lot, so I'll likely get the Sport edition. I understand why the Sport has an Ion-X display (rather than Sapphire) and a different back (durability and weight, I guess) but I'm wondering when they say "prices start at $349", which edition do we think will be the $349 one?
 
Walt Mossberg says the sport is the low end one, watch mid range, and edition obviously high end. Makes sense really, low end = Aluminium and glass, mid range = Stainless steel and sapphire, high end = Gold and sapphire.
 
I agree on sport selling the best.

There will be several that wouldn't have minded paying a premium to get the sapphire on the light weight aluminum sport edition though.

Weird- I thought it was 1)watch 2) sport 3) edition

I am ok with either of them as the starting option, as I do not see myself spending more than 350
