(TECH) THE APPLE EDITION WATCH IS A BAD INVESTMENT
MEXICO, Infosel June. 26. From this Friday it will begin marketing the Apple Watch in Mexico, the smart watch with Californians made a couple of months his triumphant debut at the wearable technology market. Business is so good for the company founded by Steve Jobs, that since Apple Watch was released excess orders caused the device to acquire customers have to wait even a few weeks to get it.
The cheapest model costs six thousand 799 dollars and the most expensive 315 000 pesos. By price, the first costs (Liverpool) more than a watch Nivada Moonmaster and second short of Girard Perregaux 1966, both pieces of fine Swiss machinery. Notably between fine watches machinery notable differences hence the gap between their prices; however when it comes to cheaper wearable signature and gold edition there are no technical differences so your machine is exactly the same.
But the smart luxury watches do not compete with much less fine watches and pieces of fine watchmaking, because their natural obsolescence implies a subsequent devaluation and consequently a bad investment. The example they put cell phones, like the Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition and 88 Tauri Lamborghini Mobile.
The Finnish was announced in late 2009; its starting price was about $ 400 and two years later the team and was quoted at $ 150 per internet. Its technical characteristics are now practically obsolete; contemporary reference is iPhone 3GS. The Galaxy S range was not yet submitted.
The Lamborghini model was launched in late 2014 with a starting price of six thousand dollars; despite their technical specifications are much weaker than those that integrated the Google Nexus 5 of leaving an estimated cost was $ 520. The website The Verge compared to a “supercar” is nothing but car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds.
On the smartwatches, some other companies besides Apple have chosen to manufacture luxury technological devices, such as HP and designer Michael Bastian and more recently Google, which announced a partnership with the Swiss company TAG Heuer watches with which also plans to launch a luxury SmartWatch. Switzerland has always been known for its watch industry, it is one of the best in the world and supplies 50% of world production of watches; however with the arrival of the SmartWatch it was thought that this would mean a major setback for the Swiss industry, however the same watchmakers ensure that devices like Apple Watch pose no competition.
An example is opined by Guy Semon, director of brand Tag Heuer, who said that “Apple Watch is not really a watch” while challenging assured that “all Swiss watches are smart” this part of the world’s largest exhibition of watchmaking in the Swiss city of Basel Baselworld.
In an interview Infosel, Jose Alberto Garcia, a watch collector with over 20 years experience in this activity, said a traditional clock is a personal item that defines and identifies the male figure, what specifically Watch Golden Apple is far from the features that an expert looking for.
He also added that the wearable “lacks personality, is androgynous and delicate, is beautiful and fine, but ignores 100 years of struggle against the elements of the wristwatch” also confronted the behavior of the device spaces won by the Swiss watch and clock analogy compares with a “beautiful girlfriend who can not bare that gives cold”.
Garcia says the Apple Watch does not comply with the features that a collector looking at a clock fine machinery as the first base of collecting is the value of an investment over which the wearable gold Apple is just “added value”.
He also added that the SmartWatch giant’s Cupertino right now is a coveted and expensive item, but when they pass their peak “will have more pieces on the market that collectors willing to pay for what will go down (much) the price, while a clock is re-assessed after 30 years and 50 reaches its best “.
