- Igglyboo 12y agoNone of those are dumb watches.
- Zikes 12y agoI'm not sure if I missed "dumb" or it was edited in shortly afterward, but either way that's comparing apples and oranges. Compared to the existing precedent of smart watch prices, Apple's watch is $100 more expensive than the next highest priced model. This is, of course, what Apple does with all of their hardware, but whether it's unsurprising or not it's still a factual and relevant point to make.
- kreutz 12y agoThe Pebble is $250. Adding another $100 to the Apple Watch is not that big of a stretch.
- Zikes 12y agoThe Pebble Steel is already priced for Apple's target demographic. Adding 70% more cost to that is a bit of a stretch.
- bryanlarsen 12y agoThe basic Pebble is $150. The premium Pebble Steel is $250. The Apple Watch starts at $350; you can bet that the premium models will be well north of that.
