Maybe we should have a new motto for this section of the forum: "MacRumors, too posh for plastic."
What if one of the rumored new casings is the unapologetically plastic case with cheaper price and comes in different colors. Would u buy it?
I wonder if G-shock like apple watch would sell well?
Indeed, I think it would've made more fashion sense for Apple to have come out with several different body styles.
The shape of things like phones and watches is generally dictated by the screen or face. Any different style would essentially be padding around the innards.

don't try too hard not to be a snob...
all im saying is for people who want a more affordable option.. obviously some people can afford em and sport is the cheapest out of the current offering. I wanted the stainless steel myself. but for others, they can get the cheaper plastic version.
I'm pretty sure $349 is "affordable". I don't see the point in making it any cheaper.

Oh I hope so.
It's terrible to have treasured mementos of your past crumble into dust like that, but that's been my repeated disappointment when trying to either appreciate or pass along anything made of plastic to the next generation. Sometimes the plasticizers ooze out and you find a sludgy mess. Or they dissipate into the air and what's left is a crumble brittle mess.
Er what??? I was referring to my Swatches and other plastic junk I've owned that did not hold up well when I was trying to appreciate them or pass them along. I am not saying I'm fool enough to think I could reasonably pass my Apple Watch on to my daughter in a few years, let alone to my grandchildren. But as a first gen memento, it would be nice if I could keep it around and treasure it pretty much as it was when I wore it, rather than crumbled into nasty discoloring plastic powder. Again, not saying this happens to all plastic products. Swatches were specifically referenced in this thread and my discussion was in reaction to my experience with Swatches.I think a plastic watch would be more genuine to the reality of any technology laden device. That is, something temporary that is only intended to last a couple of years before it becomes obsolete. Nobody doubts that Apple will release an update in the next 12-24 months.
You're fooling yourself if you think any of the current Apple Watches will be usable by the next generation.
C model for $149 would absolutely kill with last gen parts. We may not like it here, but that's right in the price range to make kids demand it from their parents. Would guarantee that it would be on every Christmas list for 2016. Most parents won't wanna spring 349 for their teens gifts, but $149 is certainly palatable.

$249 38mm and $299 42mm would be a good price point.
Would you buy it?
