The $10,000 version should include an iCal appointment with a psychiatrist. :wtf:

Anyone spending that kind of money on a watch should see a psychiatrist. That said, I'm willing to bet money the $10 000 watch will sell out in minutes.

EDIT: Check: Wired: YES, THERE’S A MARKET FOR THAT $10,000 APPLE WATCH. Apparantly solid gold watches are pretty expensive anyway.

Of course there is.

People with last names like Hilton, Lopez and Kardashian comes to mind.

I get the feeling that Apple doesn't really believe in the smartwatch concept and this is just a cash grab

 

[JStrike]

Bah, I'm going to have to buy it overseas. But hoping they were going to launch here as well was wishful thinking

..and Li, Wang, Chen and Zhang.

And many, many people who's names you wont recognize neccessarily

What on earth gives you that feeling? They've put an unseemly amount of effort into the Apple Watch. The range of options for customisation is insane.

I think this product will only be good after about 3-4 generations/revisions. Currently I think the proper sport watches win vs these hybrid types

Only an Apple fanboy will wear this.

That's it, feel the hate. Insult people that make different buying decisions to you. They deserve it!

So, who is getting one of these.... I think the sport watch will sell in quantities as it has a HR monitor + GPS + Music which most of the sports watch are missing, especially music player. Also, the prices is comparable to the existing models from the likes of Garmin, Polar and Suunto.

Hmm I was thinking someone who needs the functionality it offers and has the money to buy it would wear it.

Apple must by sharting with laughter all the way to the bank.

I will very probably get one. I love the style and look. Will need to see it up close first, but it's looking good

Battery life sucks.
18 hours for "moderate use".

If it lasts from 8am to 9pm, then I'm very happy

So, nothing new compared to what we already knew.

As for that Wired article- false equivalence. People might buy the Apple Watch Edition for the same underlying purpose as a similarly priced high-end watch (i.e. as an accesory), but the markets are not comparable other than in price.
