A very lovely Apple watch indeed, and one I would be proud to own seeing I don't own an Apple watch now. I love yellow gold watches, especially with intricate designs like this, and the craftsmanship is excellent. People calling it ugly are probably millennials hooked on Apple's minimalistic designs, but great watches of old were similarly design in terms of gold and intricate detail, especially old pocket watches.
But just as Dan said in the video though, I would not be willing to pay that price for a customize Apple watch which will be outdated in a year or two. That's really the crux of the matter. But that's also partly why I've never considered buying a rather pricey Apple watch (even their cheapest model is pricey in my book) -- because you cannot upgrade it and it will soon be out of date. Traditional watches don't have that problem, which is why it will always make more sense to pay top dollar for them.

I agee..i love the craftsmanship of intricacy involved; i could easily hook this this up with a few of my outfits!! But for it to be outdated in a few short years..not worth it. I bought the ceramic 3 and will hold on to this, most likely, til the very end and will only buy Aluminum from this point forward. It only makes sense to me..
There's also no real use beyond telling time, unless you have some specific health problem that needs some monitoring the watch provides.

Ummmmmm. No. Just not good looking to me. Even if it only added a couple of hundred dollars to the price. Ugly to me.
But I’d be willing to bet that at least one of the KardashianKlowns or Westie’s will be buying a couple of these. Gotta’ have that bling!
(Scratches head and wonders where it all went so wrong)
