No chance those are organic?
If you are in the market for a multi hundred dollar watch, you must have considered the Garmin and Apple offering for non-time features. Surely some of those people are happy to share their decision.
- stevekemp 23d agoPaying a few hundred dollars for a watch is cheap, compared to the prices for mid/high-end mechanical watches.
- maratc 23d agoStarting price alone doesn't give you the full picture. After five years, Apple Watches are out of support, so even if they work their value goes to $0. The battery is gone by that time, new OSes don't support them, and their only destination is a landfill. Mechanical watches can last decades, and hold some resell value at any age.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 23d agoSure, but when you are buying a mechanical watch, that is a Veblen good, not focused on utility. A $6 Casio will keep better time.
