Will Apple create a trade in program for the Watch ?

In fact, I and others are of the opinion that Apple intended it to be that way because nothing screams "I have money" more than dropping $10,000-17,000 on a watch that'll quickly become obsolete.

How about dropping $42K for a watch that'll quickly become obsolete. Was in Baileys with my wife yesterday and saw this a sign advertising this Baileys Edition of the Apple Watch ...

Yep, no different from the $100K diamond-studded iPhone. Some people do have more money than sense.

I go back and forth on this, I can see apple doing it, and yet, I can see them not. They only started the phone trade in program because others were doing it and making money off of it. ITs like the leasing program, Apple saw everyone go the leasing route for the phones (by everyone I mean the carriers) and so they jumped on board.


Yet I don't see this really being a thing for the apple watch and I don't see how apple could make it work, other then maybe enticing current owners to upgrade.

If history is any indication, it wouldn't surprise me if we see a watch lease program like the iPhone, since carriers are already offering the watch on financing.
