I dont feel the intrinsic value. Silicone doesnt age well. I am having trouble with the idea that the bottom end watches will likely be trumped in a year or 2 with V2. I can appreciate the engineering and thought that went into these things, but ouch. I wish the folks at apple luck, but I cant see the draw here. I could be setting myself up for a Steve Ballmer moment though...
I'm not totally sold on the current concept of the smartwatch. I think that wearables are the future, but it's going to take something more to make it truly compelling. But whether you're sold on it or not, a $10k version is just insane.
With the $10K version (that's functionally identical to the $350 version) they aren't looking for customers who are interested in value.
Also:
> Silicone doesnt age well.
probably isn't what you meant to say.
