this is false, the casio "smart access" system used in their g-shock, edifice and oceanus watches has existed for years

yeah but apple is doing it for the first time, like they did with ultrabooks, NFC payment systems, wireless mice and high resolution displays.

i am so out of touch with 'watch culture' or whatever, i bought a seiko kinetic in 2000 because it looked cool and was like $500 and then years later got a $1k movado sport but man, you guys turned me on to those spring grand seikos and they are some drat fine looking watches. oh i also have a gigantic purple nixon watch that was like $80 to match my purple shoes.

i heard that apple gold is so amazing that even the world's best scientists can't even call it gold, it's better than that. it's molecular makeup is so different, it's unlike any gold they've ever seen.

Mr. Apollo posted:

no. their gold is 18K gold. "regular" 18K gold is a mixture of gold and other metals so a certain weight of 18K gold will take up a certain volume of space. Apple gold uses ceramics in its mixture so for the same weight of regular 18K gold its volume will be slightly larger as the ceramic particles take up more space.

so less gold = more, better gold?

got it.
