The crazy part is the Gold 'Edition' Version. It's not like a Swiss watch, which is sold to be passed on to new generations, since your children won't be happy to get such outdated tech. What will they do with old Gold versions? Smelt them?
- evinugur 12y agoIt's about short term profits to cash in on the hype. I wouldn't be surprised several iterations of the Apple Watch down the line when they abandon the gold edition altogether once the novelty of the product decreases and stays constant.
- Jack000 12y agomakes perfect sense to me. People wear watches these days for 1. fashion 2. status symbol (see omega, longines etc) this just covers the status symbol portion of the market

- snowwrestler 12y agoMaybe, actually. Return your old gold watch when you upgrade, and get some credit toward the new one. I think they already do this with other Apple devices. https://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/ https://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
