According the BBC News and probably Reuters....

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31794823

 

The Apple Watch will range from £260 to over £10,000 depending on the materials used for the construction. I for one, as some people might know like to or would like to own expensive watches which are a worthy investments.

 

There's been a kerfuffle on G+ about it and I noticed some random insanity quotes in the Cult of Mac groupee section. If someone earns enough money to buy such luxury then fair enough although Joe Bloggs in the street shouldn't even consider getting themselves in debt for such a little reward if you ask me.

 

OK lets put it another way, would you pay £1,000 for an Android smartwatch with steel bracelet, sapphire crystal glass and full functionality in line with your Google account. Or would your life feel complete if you had a 18 ct. gold solid bracelet and no other benefits than the usual Apple Watch? I would feel cheated for one although I would buy one and bid it up for a higher price if I thought if was a wise investment.

 

Thoughts? Analogies? Conspiracies? Pringles?

After ruling the sport out , I would rather put money down on a new pebble time steel, then buy an iPhone.

Apple may have done well with the os, but again they are pricing it way above what it is worth.

If someone were to give me one I wouldn't complain, but realistically people should budget themselves based on the fact it will be replaced every year as with other Apple products.

Hi guys,

Unfortunately we won’t be stocking this. We expect Apple to confirm where you can buy their watch from soon

Am i the only person who uses a watch to see the time?

 

I just cannot understand the appeal in having a £200.00 + watch just so you can see if someone has texted you without having to get your phone out your pocket. What can a "smart watch" do that the mobile phone you carry around everywhere can't?
