The $20,000 gold Apple Watch Edition sold out in China in less than an hour

[Techteen14]

Some thoughts:

1. How many AWEs were being sold in the first place? What if there was only 1, or 5, or 10? You can't exactly mass produce something made of gold. I applaud Apple for selling this many AWEs.
2. AWEs range from $10,000 to $17,000, not $20,000 even with the $1,600 warranty.

Ugly as sin.

Quite frankly I like the clean, smooth design. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

For the same price I would have gone with rolex or swiss.

The kind of person who can afford 20k on a watch doesn't need to pick which one. They can get them all. 

I don't expect people who don't play on that level to understand just how rich these kinds of people actually are.

Always wanted my watch sitting 2.5 inches above my wrist.

Stupid play's on all levels.

Just out of curiosity, how many watches are we talking about here? In china there are a lot of people and I suppose the Edition won't be produced in such high numbers as the other versions.

It still boggles my mind how anyone could want this. It has a terrible battery life (meaning it doesn't even work well as a watch), no mind blowing features that the competition doesn't have, and costs like a car when even the materials in it aren't worth a quarter of its price.

The people buying this won't care about the specs, won't care about the value, won't care about anything along those lines. This is a fashion/ego statement, to say "that's right, I'm so rich I got this watch" the market it is targeted at is so rich they'll just buy the next one too.

Because the exaggeration is necessary..

Indeed it does, it certainly excels on your level. 

 

And the watch doesn't sit 2.5" above your wrist? Have you actually bothered to go wear it, or are you just talking nonsense? Oh wait...

Was a joke, my own watch is quite thick tbh.

Yeah yeah we get it. You dropped 20gs on a daft 1st gen watch and are now all butthurt defense mode if anyone says anything negative about it. Deary me.

If I actually did spend 20k on a watch, why would I care what people like you think? Do you really think such people care? 

Just proving my point again. The only one with a hurt butt would be you. 

[flibberdipper]

What... Damn.

You obviously do care since you're defending it so much. Why would i be butthurt over some idiot spending 20k on an apple watch? I just point and laugh at the idiot.

Guessing they were bought so companies could make knock-off versions of it.

[Stadiz]

A watch with one day battery life, "smartwatch" they said.
