Collectors item.

I knew it...(laughing)....I knew it was just a matter of time before you'd post something like this.....

Aye, if I had that much for a watch, I certainly wouldn't be going for an Apple watch.

Anyone have a stack of bills laying around

Wow, was I wrong. But I don't think it's a great move for Apple. You bet it's limited because they won't sell many. I just think it sends the wrong message and hope it doesn't impact what we like about Apple.

Definitely a celebrity item.

This is the first time I have to actually say that Apple should have said LESS to do MORE. Why even say the price? Why not say it is a limited production item that is priced based on custom build order (or something along those lines). It makes it seem more exclusive that way, it doesn't give a jarring price tag to most of the public that just cocked an eyebrow at such a thing, and it draws the attention of the elite level people who WOULD buy this version because they feel they are getting special attention when ordering it.

Instead...we got this cheesy little blurb about how it was limited and costs $10,000. Like seeing a Ferrari commercial that says "It's red, we're making 500 of them and it costs $800,000...", who cares?

Truly a case of too much information, in my opinion.

Also comes with 2 years AppleCare... - a 3rd year of AppleCare+ will cost extra.

2 years of AC on the Edition Watch?

Furthering on your point on exclusivity, I think it's cheesy to even offer it online to order. This should be a "come to us" type thing. I understand that it will only be available in select stores, but I still think that would make it even more of an "edition" type-watch.

 

[iEd]

If I could drop 10K like Kim K on a  Watch. I'm not ordering it online. I'm not going to a store to get it unless I had security.
They would have to come to the crib like Jacob The Jeweler. Lol

Will wearing an Apple Watch garner you jealous looks or an ?atomic wedgie?? | Twitchy

Looking for a $10,000 luxury watch? Don't buy the Apple Watch Edition | The Verge

With its Apple Watch event, Apple redefines itself as a luxury brand | The Verge

 

[cardfan]

Judging by comments especially from the apple fans, it's not going over too well. Hope they don't redefine themselves out of the market or at least some negative goodwill. Combined with a MacBook downgraded to one port, a lousy kb, and a slow processor. It wasn't a great event.

$10,000 for a watch isn't even that much. If someone is going to strap a $50,000 Rolex on their wrist I don't think that same person will scoff maybe trying an Apple Watch Edition for a mere $10,000 if it will work with their iPhone. We commoners are the market for that watch.
