By buying the Rolex GMT Master II. Especially when the mind blowing, ceramic sintered 18K Gold Apple watch was right around the corner. Damn. Now I'll not be able to afford the 10,000 $ watch, with the heart sensor. I won't be able to Digital Touch any of my friends who wear one, and won't have the fun of using the magnetic charger every night. Emails wont be the same as viewing them on a 1.4 inch screen. And how will I show off my sketching skills. The Apple watch offers so many straps and customizations, while I am stuck with one metal bracelet. All my watch can do is show me time in 3 different time zones, and that has to be set manually. Sigh. What have I done.
No seriously. Now Apple is pushing iOS 8.2 to everyone. Which has Apple watch app built in, whether I need it or not, just like their Numbers,Pages, Health, NewsStand and Passbook apps. Now I'll have another icon on my device that I will not be able to use. Damn.
On this Note I could only think of one saying about this new so called cool Apple product "I fear the day the technology will surpass our human interaction the world will have a generation of idiots" - Albert Einstein. This is simply epitome of ridicule. Think like this way, some day some one gets stuck badly has a Rolex or Omega to trade of, will Apple help? Oops it's already obsolete cuz I phone 8 isn't compatible with $10K watch anymore! More over its a peace of slicia, glass and some so 18k fake gold! RIP Steve!

You said it. Unless they offer to replace the internals every 2 years, it makes no sense. If you look at expensive tech products (Vertu and other diamond encrusted phones etc), these are all meant to be one-off. I'm sure Apple is getting a lot of hype for the 10,000$ watch (which could work in their favor as well - since all publicity is good publicity), but would surely be looking at the 350-600$ segment for sales. Again, when wrist wear combined with mobile tech has not really taken off as a whole, its another slice of the pie that Apple could be the biggest consumer of. So called 'fashion' bloggers have already declared their love it (coz they were apparently blind to all the other similarly appearing watches).
