It is all personal taste I guess. Mine was about half that price for the 1000M. Their value is in the beautiful cases and bracelets, all CNC cut from a hunk of stainless steel. They are among the most waterproof watches on the market. I'll never actually dive 1000 meters, so I realize that is like people who never drive their SUV on a dirt road. I prefer my watches to be kind of minimalist, so I like the design. It has no cachet in that no one has heard of UTS, and nobody comments on it. But it makes me happy to have a unique thing of beauty, so that works for me. I view it as much more special than a fairly common watch like the Omega Speedmaster, say.
