Maybe, but I doubt people buy a $500 watch just because it will still be nice in 100 years. That might be the case for $10000 watches.

- koyote 12y agoA $500 watch will certainly still have much use 10+ years from purchase. It might have minor scratches but that's it. A smart watch will probably not even power on 5 years from purchase (due to bad battery); or be able to pair with your phone (new phone OS might not be backwards compatible).

- eloisant 12y agoActually any watch over a few hundred will have a sapphire glass, so even after 10 years it's unlikely it has scratches. The body may have some minor scratches, but I think it only adds to the charm.
