[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4035225, member: 27098"] At least a mechanical watch can't track me and display my position within 9 feet to anyone and many are immune to emp. If I want that there are devices that hook to the bracelet. After 5 years a a $350 wristwatch is will be worth more than a New Apple watches the old Apple watch which will be sold for $10 at a garage sale and the new owner will find it's incompatible with their current iPhone. With kids if I leave a 5 year old mechanical watch to them, they'll appreciate it. Leave a 5 year old Apple watch to your kid's and they'll say what a luddite. Some watches like Omega or Rolex or even Seiko's can be an investment that appreciates in value. The Apple watch price drops like a stone the minute you sync it to your phone. I do not see a gray market for Apple Watches. Wear an Omega Moonwatch, Rolex or a nice Seiko to church, a social or a business event it is much more impressive and conversational than an Apple Watch. Personally, I think smartwatches are a symbol of the disposability of the modern lifestyle. Paul Newman's Rolex went up for sale and brought 17 million, if he had an apple watch I suspect it would bring more than a comparable Apple watch, but not much more. [/QUOTE]
