Today, we got some needed answers to the Apple Watch's battery replacement. It's important not only from the standpoint that the Apple Watch is completely a computer and without a functioning battery, it's as good as a dead weight. In the case of the Edition, a very expensive dead weight. It's not like you can wind it to make it work again (maybe someday).
But what about other forms of servicing?
What comes to mind is what good is a gold-encased digital watch if it's going to be obsolete two or three years down the line? As an Apple fan, I like to know the answer to this question even though I'll never put down $10K for a regular watch much less one that will lose out in favor of newer ones.
Don't get me wrong. There will be folks who buy the Edition, costing up to $17K depending on the band. And maybe the fact that there will be a limited number of Edition it itself value. We'll just have to see how much value it holds up over the years and whether there is an appreciation over time like some watches do.
