I can believe that it is the best selling watch in the world.
People don't buy many watches, because they last a long time.
Last time I bought a watch was 7 years ago, and it still works fine. It's probably got another 3 years before I need to change the battery.
I think the last time my old man bought a watch was some time in the 80's or 90's.
- Razengan 8y agoYes, I’m still using the Series 2 I bought two years ago, and have no desire or need for the newer series.

- s3m4j 8y agoHow do we fix the problem of people seeing a problem in selling long lasting products ?
- gmueckl 8y agoBy changing the system to internalize extra costs of products with low lifetime. If companies can earn more by building products that last decades instead of years, they will do it. To make this work, you'd probably need to come up with a pretty convoluted taxation scheme.
- Razengan 8y agoMy Series 2 Apple Watch still runs perfectly after 2 years of daily usage, and is compatible with all current apps as well as the upcoming watchOS 5.
