Don't be afraid to go cheap

[Bifurcated]

One of the biggest things I learned from my try-on session is how beautiful even the sports model is. Truly, if it had been the only model released, none of us would be upset wishing for something more upscale. So unless you have so much money that dropping $700+ is nothing to you, don't feel even remotely bad about getting the cheapest watch. It's gorgeous!'

(And think of the money saved as downpayment toward next year's watch.)

Good to hear...

If I get an Apple Watch it is certainly going to be the sport edition

Well considering the sports model functions exactly the same as the $17000 Edition why would I be afraid to go cheap?

I don't look at the Watch Sport model as "cheap" and even if I were rich, I still would not have opted for the Watch Edition model. I don't care about anodized aluminum vs stainless steel or ion-x vs sapphire. When it is worn on the wrist, all people will see is an Watch.

I went for the sport model for couple of reasons. I don't like the shiny stainless steel. And as a golfer. The SS is a bit heavy. I'm happy with my order of space gray sport.

I like the finish of the stainless steel but more importantly, I wanted to make sure that the body and screen would really hold up well, so I shelled out extra to get the stainless steel model with the Milanese band.

I have both a black sport and classic leather SS ordered. I'll decide later. I could go either way and get a leather loop for the sport as well if I return the SS. I picked up some Sony BT noise canceling headphones for 130. Sony Over-the-Ear Bluetooth & Noise Cancelling Headphones - Slickdeals.net Seems to be a price mistake. They're 229 at amazon.

For the watch? I thought it required Bluetooth 4.0 headphones.

Ugh . . . so did I. I know I read that in a couple of reviews.

I wouldn't call it cheap; cheaper perhaps. When I do get the apple watch it'll absolutely be the sport version but for the price it is in Canada ($549 for the bigger mm) I just can't justify it over an iPad air 2.

I'm going to get the SS for almost the exact opposite reasons. I don't like the look of the aluminium and I prefer heavier watches.

I'm kinda glad we have the choice, TBH.

I don't like the silver aluminum look either. That's why I went with space gray. I just think the silver aluminum looks a bit cheaper.
I also prefer heavier watch. But since ever since I started playing golf. I prefer the lighter watch especially because I use the golf GPS apps on the watch.

350 ain't exactly cheap! But I get your point.

 

[Not Quite Right]

Th Sport ed. in Space Grey was my goal device ever since I found out the Stainless Steel ed. was going to be twice the price. It has nothing to do with being cheap, but everything to do with common sense. I'm more interested in it's functionality in the first place, rather than arguably better looks at twice the price ...

I sold all my clubs before I moved out to Los Angeles. not that I was much of a golfer anyway but I did love playing a round back in the UK on the rare days when it wasn't raining.
