I don't think that means they know what they are doing as much as it means their branding and marketing are fan-fricking-tastic. Anyone who spends 20,000 on a piece of tech (that isn't sending someone to the moon or curing cancer) is a looney toon.

Says nothing about the quality of the product. It is a fashion statement for a part of the world that loves luxury and has disposable income to afford it.

Do you think the actual quantity is closer to 1 than it is to 1,000?

Even if 1,000, it doesn't matter. There are a billion people in China.

I'm just hoping it causes the stock to go back up. I have some options that would appreciate it.

Welp, that settles it, Apple is done it's over. Tim Cook is a fraud.

Wait, no. Apple with another game changer

Wait...I'm not sure which opinion I'm supposed to automatically kneejerk with.

They're selling tech watches for 20k

But you don't think that means a 750 BILLION dollar company knows what it's doing...

Just like when they said the iPad would be dead because it didn't have a phone. Apple will continue to let other companies ride their coattails, like always.

Who would think they don't know what they're doing? Pretty much the top corporation in the world at the moment.

You do know that Ipads and tablet peaked 2 years ago and the novelty has worn off.I've had maybe 5 tablets in the last 3 years and I have to force myself to use them. They serve no purpose other that to keep your kids quiet for a little while.

I bought the moto 360 on launch date and I still wear it, because it looks good and is a good conversation piece, but half the time I don't even have it connected through Bluetooth. Smart watches will sale, because watches are vanity items. The apple watch does not look good though. The sport edition looks cheap and tacky, and the others are way overpriced.

The medical field, education field, oil and gas industry, etc. all laugh at this statement.
