Apple Watch Edition price could start from $10K and go up to $20K

Daring Fireball's John Gruber today published a piece going in-depth on what he believes Apple's upcoming Apple Watch wearable will sell for, how the various accessory bands will be sold at retail, and just how much the all-gold Apple Watch Edition could possibly cost.
Taking a step back from the tech industry, Gruber looked at the upper tier of the fashion accessory market and decided to revisit his early fall guess that the lowest price the Apple Watch Edition could sell for would be $5,000. He began asking "friends who might know" whether they thought that estimate was too high.
"The answer has always been “No”. But the way I’ve been told “No” has given me the uneasy feeling that I’ve been asking the wrong question. I should have been asking if $5,000 is too low.
"I now think Edition models will start around $10,000 — and, if my hunch is right about bands and bracelets, the upper range could go to $20,000. I was off by a factor of two, and my friend Vincent, I think, nailed it back on the day Apple Watch was introduced."

Here are a couple of models of the Watch Edition watches. I think these are targeted towards the uber rich and celebrities only who don't really look at price tags.
18-karat yellow gold Edition Apple Watch with red Modern Buckle Band
18-karat rose gold Edition Apple Watch with white Sport Band

Like he quoted in the piece, you can't buy a nice 18k gold time piece for less than $5k

Holy Grail for Apple, watches have been one of the highest margin businesses around.
Now they just need to figure out how to hide the cost from average Joes and come up with some clever financing options. Otherwise the volume won't be enough to significantly make a difference to their bottom line

Can't wait to get my 350$ version 
Have they clarified if the versions only differ in shell material? Wondering what kind of tiers theyll have like the phones if at all

Because they would feel really stupid for paying that much for just a "watch".

A watch is what I wear. Its price reflects its functionality. A time piece is what OT ballers wear. Its price reflects how much money can be thrown away.

& at least it's more useful than a $10,000 Diamond.

I was beginning to want this watch until I read about the charging aspect. What good is a watch that dies mid day? I'll be waiting to see how the long the charge holds. Well, that and I'm beginning to firmly dislike my iPhone 6+, and without that the watch is useless.

Because Apple made everything before the 6 obsolete with Applepay. And now small and thin isn't cool anymore. Thanks Obama.
