if you bought the gold watch and now you feel cheated, you totally deserve it.

Seems to me anyone rich enough to spend so much on something so stupid might have gotten some other extravagant accessory to replace it already.

If anyone thought an electronic device would become a family heirloom they are really clueless.

I think the first good wearable computer ever made has great potential as something people might like to collect. I have the first ever (proper/good) laptop for example. It doesn't work anymore, but I still like having it (and I'd love to restore it some day - just because Apple won't fix it doesn't mean it can't be fixed... it just means Apple isn't maintaining a large stockpile of spare parts anymore).

In 20 years time, I bet those watches are worth a lot of money in good condition. An original iPhone recently sold at auction for $200,000.

That's an opinion and a half! People might consider it collectable but they're not exactly rare.

On the flip side, the gold still has its worth in gold... 🤷
