Just tell your friend to check in 10 years from now the value of his Apple watch after it's no longer supported and can't take on the new firmware. Let's compare residual values then LOL.

Our Rolex will work and for the most part be maintainable while the Apple watch may not be.
+1...the apple watch despite its innovative concept is little more than a high-tech appliance & most appliances depreciate over time...when was the last time your Maytag increased in value or desirability?

for those old enough to remember...back around the early 70s, the Pulsar LED watch was once considered state-of-the-art. celebrities & fashion trendsetters were often seen wearing them...traditional high-end mechanical watches were supposedly doomed to oblivion.

guess what happened...the Pulsar ran its course & are virtually worthless today. meanwhile, the traditional Rolex continues to thrive.

with no intention of offending AW owners...the apple watch looks kind of 'lightweight' from the standpoint of ruggedness & durability. there is also something kind of 'sissy-looking' about it...just saying.
