Are People Ready for a $1,200 USD Gold Apple Watch?

Following the official announcement of Apple‘s first venture into the wearable tech industry, which generated much conversation on social media and publication outlets this past week, images of an 18K gold version of the Apple Watch has added further fuel to the hot topic. While Apple is yet to announce whether its casing will be made entirely from gold or simply plated, jewellery experts expect the watch to be plated and estimate its cost to be in the ballpark of $1,200 USD. In comparison to the $349 USD sport version, some may consider the price difference to be quite drastic, however the potential of this luxury version dubbed “Apple Watch Edition” is undeniable and will likely usher in a demand for luxury brands to put their spin on the watch’s unique band connectors.
