Tech doesn't last. If I were to spend $2500 on a guitar I know that 20, 40, 60 or even 100 years from now that guitar will play just as well, if not better, than it does today. OTOH if I were to spend $2500 on a laptop I know that 10 years from now, if not sooner, it will be a piece of junk. Basically this is how I justify buying guitars to my wife! :) Some things have lasting value. Art, crystal, good furniture, those are better items on which to spend money. Technology? It goes obsolete so fast you're essentially renting the item. Which is why, BTW, I've never bought an Apple Watch. It doesn't do anything my phone can't do and I've never spent more than $40 on a Timex. If I were to start slinging around serious money into a watch it would be a Rolex or something of that ilk. I guarantee it'll work just as well 100 years from now as it does today - decades after the Apple Watch was useless. I prefer spending my money on things that last and tech just doesn't last. If you don't mind perpetually renting items and it tickles your fancy and fits your budget, then by all means, indulge.
