What I find interesting is that these are exactly the same arguments that were used when the Apple iPhone came out in June of 2007. . . from people who were using cheap dumb phones that made phone calls and messaged, and might take a photos. They were shocked that people would buy a phone that retailed for $695. "Nobody will buy an overpriced piece of junk phone when they can get X for a mere $100!" Then they said the same about the iPad. . . Look where we are today. . . The Apple Watch has sold more units in its first three months than the iPhone sold in its first year on the market and more than the iPad sold in its first 90 days in 2010, which was the best selling product of all time up until now.
Apple has sold 1.2 Billion iOS devices since 2007. Some 300 million of those will work with the Apple Watch.
I, after two months of daily use and extended experience, find the Apple Watch one of the most useful purchases I've made in some time. So have most of the people who have purchased one, rating their satisfaction with the product at 97%, an unheard of satisfaction rating for a new version 1.0 product.
But you, in your uninformed and inexperienced opinion, thinking the device is just a time-keeping watch, comparable to other time-keeping watches, still claim the Apple Watch is a "ridiculous," foolish purchase.
I haven’t priced an Apple watch, it’s true.
Surely it doesn’t cost $6,000, does it?
But if it does, buying one would be as ridiculous as buying any other watch that costs $6,000.
But like I said, it’s your money, man. Knock yourself out — it’s entirely up to you.
