Posted August 31, 2014 A report by Recode today claims that Apple executives have discussed pricing its wearable device at $400, but haven’t finalized it yet, and may not set the price before Apple’s September event.Samsung’s Galaxy Gear 2 watch retails $300 outright and Android Wear devices sell on the Play Store for around $200, which would put the rumored Apple wearable at the high end of the market. Another report by Recode claims that the wearable may be unveiled at Apple’s September 9 event but won’t ship to consumers until sometime in 2015. We still don’t know much about what the rumored device actually does, but it’s likely we’ll get at least a preview at Apple’s event. lmfao, $400 for a watch. no thanks Apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 31, 2014 Wouldn't surprise me at all. A lot of people would pay nearly anything if it has an Apple logo on it (lol Jimmy Kimmel and a Casio watch) GW2: Vettexl.9726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 31, 2014 Well yea, its Apple. Look how much they charge for everything else, this shouldn't be a surprise. Here is a list of common fallacies. Which ones have you used today?

Posted August 31, 2014 I heard they would have multiple models with the most expensive being 400$. Besides 400$ for a watch isnt even that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 31, 2014 200 for a watch no thanks just pull the phone out of your pocket "if nothing is impossible, try slamming a revolving door....." - unknown my new rig bob https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/sGRG3C#cx710255 Kumaresh - "Judging whether something is alive by it's capability to live is one of the most idiotic arguments I've ever seen." - jan 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 31, 2014 I expect them to price it at $300 the most. I do not expect them to go below $250. The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Posted August 31, 2014 Unless google make a nexus-like android wear device, samsung will f-up and release 20 all of which will be sub-par, htc can't afford to, LG will put buttons on the back and sony will release a decent smartwatch at a decent price but it will never be released over to you americans and thus wont be relevant. Apple will make an expensive luxury usable item. Come on moto 360, you are our only hope Everything said by me is my humble opinion and nothing more, unless otherwise stated.

What a load of bullshit! High Price =/= High End. Fuck people that spread this sort of stuff around. That's how you end up with a bunch of pseudo techy kidos that diss any reason because they spent cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 31, 2014 It's not going to be $400. It's like when they said the iPad would be $1000. I bet this rumor was placed.
