First Apple Watch Edition series 0 was > $1k, but successive releases essentially destroyed other platforms except for high end sports watches (Garmin, etc). Fitbit essentially died after a few years battling with Apple. The analogy for this product is less the iPhone than the Apple Watch (if they only release Edition on first run).

The Apple watch started at $350, not $1k [0]. Also no one with an Android phone has an Apple Watch, which means Apple at best has ~27% of the market [1].
