Alright well let's get this out of the way. The Apple Watch with a model that is over 10000 American dollars. Now maybe I am in the minority here but can someone please tell me the point of a 10000 dollar watch that has a battery life. If I spend 10000$ on a piece of technology in 2015, my mind better be blown by the innovation that piece of technology brings to the table *cough Microsoft Hololens *cough. When you tell me you are going to sell a watch for 10000 dollars that has a battery life, I become very cynical about your price point. I can understand why some people who have the money to burn spend 10000$ plus on an antique watch that they will pass on to their descendants. I do not see the point in a watch that will be outdated and thrown by the wayside the following year or two. I do not see the point in the Apple Watch regardless of price tag. If I want to check my time I will take the 3 seconds it will take to pull my phone out and check it from their. The other functionality of the Apple Watch also can be done but better on a more powerful device like a smart phone.
Some people may like the gimmick of a wrist strapped piece of touch screen technology as seen in near future sci fi universes and they do have their place. They are more mobile than a phone since they are attached to the body and don't require bag space. And let's be honest they do look cool. But in the end they have to bring something to the table that is new and innovative, not just a glorified watch with some cross function functionality with a phone. Then and maybe then the watch would be worth buying or at least tech demoing, but at a significantly lower price than $10000+. Now not all Apple Watches are $10000, just the fancy looking ones. But the watch itself does not have nearly enough functionality to warrant a purchase at least in my opinion as of the day of this post.
