Completely different markets: good Swiss watches start at $2-3k and go up, way, way up. Apple watches are sub-$1k for the majority of models.

- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoYeah, but those manufacturers are not a huge market. For a time, a fair number of people didn't wear watches at all, and used their phones. Those are the people that I'm seeing with Apple Watches (and other devices, like FitBits).
- megablast 6y agoNot a different market at all. I hate that phrase. Apple watches are updated every few years. Swiss watches last a lot longer. Price might not be that different over 10 to 20 years.
- leadingthenet 6y agoSure, but since getting an Apple Watch, I haven’t felt the need to wear a mechanical watch anymore. They are good enough looking, and I need to close my rings, damnit! They just do so much more...
