It's been years and people still don't understand what Watch is. Meanwhile, it says what it is directly in the name. It's a watch first, and everything else distant second. By the standards of wristwatches $300 is not that much money.
- konschubert 9y agoJust because wristwatches are overpriced doesn't mean that anything that takes their name isn't.
- 0xbear 9y ago"Overpriced" is a subjective term. 50% growth in sales suggests very competitive pricing. Think of it this way: Apple Watch isn't really competing with "wearable computers" everyone else is making. It plays a completely different ball game, and competes with wristwatches. I can't think of a better watch in $300 price range even though I don't wear one myself (my wife does). My main problem with it is the need to charge it daily. Once they get battery to 3-4 days, I'll buy one. Until then, my solar powered titanium Seiko diver will have to do.
- kalleboo 9y agoFor a piece of jewelry, $300 is not that much money. For a watch, $12 will do fine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GAWSDG/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GAWSDG/ The Apple Watch is neither a piece of jewelry, nor something that will just show you the time (something people stopped caring about wearing nearing 2 decades ago). Is that something worth it or not? Is that something a mass-market item? That's the question to ask.
