which would be highly unlikely because when has Apple ever done that for its current consumer items? The iPod, iPad, and iPhone, have all been user pays the cost to replace when a new model drops.
I think some people are just trying to justify an expensive purchase they have already decided to buy. If it was a wholly stand alone device I might under stand its pricing but as it stands now I do not.
If the article prices are to be believe then this is pure pretentious pricing, going for the vain and honestly after owning Apple products for so long boy have I met some of the most vain people on Earth. (the number of gold colored phones that sold is amazing/depressing)
And none of those things comes in $10K+ enclosures. Things are different. People aren't going to throw away big chunks of gold... either Apple is going to do it or someone else is. Upthread idea that people will just be out $20K after 2-5 years is what's ridiculous here.
Stop thinking of the Apple Watch as a technology product. It's not called iWatch for a reason. It's called Apple Watch and if you think you're going to take it to the Genius Bar to get it looked at, you're dead wrong.
