The gold Apple Watch Edition was a completely different luxury watch flex.

Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch::The original Apple Watch models, including the $10,000-plus 18-karat gold Edition that Beyoncé wore, are now officially obsolete and won’t get parts, repair, or replacement services.

It is for those with more money than sense, 100%. No matter how much money you have, it’s not going to solve the problem of it being incompatible with a newer iPhone. And that makes anyone who bought this a clown.

The point is that for them, it doesn’t matter if the watch is obsolete and ends up in a drawer after a few years. They’ll just buy a new one.

For them 20k is like $20 for you.
