Your anecdotal not wearing of a watch does not pluralize into data.

Here is accurate data:
The watch market is an over $22 Billion a year market. There are over 1.2 Billion watches sold annually. China alone manufactured 633 million last year. . . many of the Chinese watches for selling less than an average retail price of $3 but can sell for as much as $5000. That's some "nobody." Sorry, you are just wrong.

Apple's pricing of the Apple Watch is spot on, too. The average Swiss watch sells for $759. . . twice what the entry level Apple Watch sells for, and even the entry level Stainless Steel Apple Watch is still under the price of the average retail Swiss Watch.

Funny, Apple is looking at selling $5B of them this year. That’s a quarter of the watch market total.

Well, I’m not a “nobody” and I wear a watch (Apple Watch) as do MANY FReepers and millions of other non-nobodies.

By the way, welcome to Free Republic (July 4, 2015 signup date). We already have plenty of folks trolling Apple threads and probably don’t need more.
