Considering the rapid obsolescence of electronics, why would I put a quickly decaying piece of hardware my wrist? In the luxury/heirloom department, I much prefer high end mechanical wristwatches. Those have an appeal that will last much longer (decades) then quickly outdated hardware (months). I only have to look at the replacement cycle for cell phones, which is already insane.
- Steko 12y agoThe point is you aren't most people and most people simply don't give a rip about mechanical watches. Just like most people didn't use blackberries in 2007 even though that was the most popular high end phone. The people that did have blackberries by and large preferred their blackberry's features -- just as the people who like mechanical watches prefer mechanical watches -- but that didn't mean Apple's new product didn't/can't find a market.
