well someone had to be buying all those samsungs to begin with, so it stands to reason

the only markets they didn't absorb were the poors with no contract upgrade options and the iyg'ers who pathologically hate apple

I'm definitely not saying it will be user-upgradeable just that there could at least be some kind of trade-in deal
i bet its take your watch to an apple store -> tech (specially trained apple 'watchmaker' tech) opens your watch up and swaps out the ic board for the new one and/or replaces the battery) -> dude hands the watch back to you. itll be free for the premium watches, a fee for the midtier, and youre better off just buying a new one on the cheap tier

building out the apple retail stores to sell (and handle, and store) $10,000 pieces of jewelry will be an interesting challenge

Apple stores will not carry or handle the gold watches. they don't have the security for it and they don't have the staff to handle that kind of clientele. if there is an upgrade path (I doubt it) it will involve sending the watch back to apple and will only be available for the gold watch.

also "crafted from" does not mean it's a solid gold chassis, it's a bullshit marketing term. i mean it could mean that, but it's absurd
