Woz thinks that selling $17,000 watches ins't what Apple is all about. I've decided I'm not going to buy one of them - maybe a nice used car, instead. :D

I thought that's what Apple is all about, advancing technology and charging a premium price for it. A computer on your wrist. And people thought Dick Tracy's two-way wrist radio was pushing the envelop.

I agree with you, as within a year the apple watch will become obsolete, as they introduce version 2, but my Rolex, will always be the legendary watch that it is......

Sounds like a looser at any price, guess I'm too old for this high tech stuff. Not to mention they don't make glasses that strong to let me view the thing.

The price starts at $349. That's a bit of a stretch for most people. My limit has always been about $34.90. So far, so good.

You can get a Rolex on the street in Beijing for $5. I wonder what they will be charging for an Apple watch? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I paid a high price of $15.00 for a Chines made Rolux watch many many years ago. Should have gotten the idea when I checked the spelling of Rolex. Live and learn, then don't buy Chines stuff. Ya right.
