I'm wondering how they'll go about announcing the price for the Edition. I know that to a large subset of the population spending upwards of $10k on a watch isn't exactly a huge deal but with just how public and viral the press conferences have become it'll be interesting to see if they actually put a number to it, and if so, how much of a backlash that will cause with the casual / white-noise crowd. Having them only available at select high end jewelry stores would help divert some of that attention (as opposed to placing it along side the other models in the online store), but this still feels like something that annoying people will freak out about.

lol @ people using "costs of goods" to try and predict the price of a luxury item. I mean if you're gonna claim that it won't be priced with those kind of margins that's fine, but claiming that there's no way they'd charge 5k+ JUST because it ONLY has $500 worth of actual gold in it is stupid. If they want to go after that market they certainly will and will most likely make a killing at it. We'll find out soon enough.

zen death robot posted:Smart Watches are a fad, and a bad one. People are going to realize that trying to hold your arm really still while you try to scroll on it with your finger and read some extremely tiny screen is pretty much useless. The speakerphone on your wrist is a loving travesty as well.

Obviously gen 2 will be better (and so will every gen after that) but for the next year this is an extremely useful addition to my life. In a year I'll stick this gen 1 version on eBay and get probably 60% or so of what I paid for it, and then upgrade to gen 2.

I'm retarded when it comes to right hand coordination, but I don't think I'm THAT retarded where using my right hand for controlling the watch with my right hand is going to hinder anything other than drawing dicks to people.
