Video: Check Out This Custom Engraved $2,200 Gold-Plated Apple Watch Series 4

[Tech198]

I'd sue somebody if they did that to my Watch! THAT is nasty.
To those who say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I say, "Get your eyes checked".

I just looked at it again...I mean...? The digital crown...? What the...? Halloween is over.

I'd probably appreacite the 'gesture' more..

I send in watch to repair, but i get back a $2,200 gold watch... *by mistake*

Just as long they don't charge me that much as well.

I’ll never understand why anyone would want “gold plated” anything...

 

[Seoras]

That box looks a bit shoddy. You can see the magnet holding it closed and the hole edges in which it sits are rough. Shame. It's those little details that Apple fusses over that are missing here.

Why do rich people like such ugly crap?

 

[theSpringZone]

Just no.

 

[Glockworkorange]

If I’m spending more than $2K on jewelry I’d want the piece to be an heirloom. This is not that.

So I just checked their website for Apple watches and iPhones.
Basically they are designing stuff for drug cartel members that you would imagine to see in Narcos if it was happening nowadays.

I'll keep my Rolex Submariner, no date, two liner. THE classic, minimalist Sub. Took a year to build...thanks though

Good to know.

And to my mind, that's still 400hrs wasted. I admire craftsmanship but believe a large part of being a great craftsman is actually knowing where and how to apply your skill. This to me is just pretentious rubbish.

Surprise...you don’t have to buy it. There are lots of things I don’t like but it doesn’t mean it is rubbish. The real pretentious thing is your post.

 

[ghostface147]

Just makes me laugh that someone spent 10k on an original Apple Watch that is super slow and can’t even run watchOS 5.

 

[melgross]

Excuse me: $2,200 for 40h of work + gold + watch is no 'high price tag' at all.

Gold plated. That’s about $10 worth of gold.

 

[maxfromdenmark]

It looks hideous and the poor shark. No

 

[Morgenland]

Would you ever shell out so much extra cash for a custom Apple Watch? Let us know in the comments

Why write a long article about a product that not a single MacRumors reader will be able and willing to buy? To generate mockery and envy? This falls back here to the article writer. A man who would be better employed at THE SUN with too much time for third class information.

That's nothing,..this standard Series 3 Apple Watch is selling for $12,099.99!

Surprisingly elegant.

 

[840quadra]

Plated? You have to be kidding me!

Be better off buying an Aluminum Apple Watch 4, and 1 ounce bar or gold coin.

 

[ghanwani]

Not worth it to me.

Maybe one of these watches if I win the lottery.

Why is it that Apple makes fat watches and thin phones? Shouldn't it be the other way? A fat phone would be easier to grip and a thin watch would look a lot more elegant.

Why do rich people like such ugly crap?

I don’t think they do. I would say that they like to show off their wealth and attract attention.

 

[Soccertess]

well, A for effort. Personally I would like a pattern with leaves, or celtic design. Also tribal or west coast aboriginal would be nice.

Great watch, but that "one year" in Rolex's marketing is more like a few hours in reality. Unless one arbitrarily includes precursor steps, and in that case anything can take an eternity to make, including the Apple Watch.

 

[macsba]

I'm not going to watch the video. Seems like these days people have more money than brains.

 

[Royksöpp]

And it’s Hideous. Next!

 

[falainber]

No matter what the finish, when not in use (which is most of the time) Apple watch looks like a black blob. While some people might find it useful, as an accessory it's just plain ugly.

 

[axantas]

And it’s Hideous. Next!

Just because it looks hideous to you Royksöpp (Röyksopp? )- there are people who like it. Lets see it the positive way: We are in the lucky situation to make our own choice.
