How many Apple devices can you buy for the price of an Apple Watch Edition?

Apple launched the Apple Watch a few days ago. It’s a premium device with its base model, the Apple Watch Sport, costing $349PHP 20,481INR 29,578EUR 332CNY 2,540 (~Php15,500USD 264INR 22,391EUR 252CNY 1,924), and can go as high as $17,000PHP 997,654INR 1,440,747EUR 16,189CNY 123,731 (~Php750,000USD 12,780INR 1,083,450EUR 12,173CNY 93,075) for the most expensive Apple Watch Edition. Crazy, I know. So to put that into perspective, we made an infographic showing how many Apple products you can buy for the price of the top-of-the-line Apple Watch Edition.

The Apple Watch comes in three variants: Apple Watch Sport ($349PHP 20,481INR 29,578EUR 332CNY 2,540 to $399PHP 23,416INR 33,815EUR 380CNY 2,904), Apple Watch ($549PHP 32,218INR 46,528EUR 523CNY 3,996 to $1,099PHP 64,495INR 93,140EUR 1,047CNY 7,999), and Apple Watch Edition ($10,000PHP 586,855INR 847,498EUR 9,523CNY 72,783 to $17,000PHP 997,654INR 1,440,747EUR 16,189CNY 123,731).

Author’s note:
* Apple products are shown in their current US$ prices for consistency.
* Sample computation: $17,000PHP 997,654INR 1,440,747EUR 16,189CNY 123,731 / $949PHP 55,693INR 80,428EUR 904CNY 6,907 (iPhone 6 Plus, 128GB) = ~17 units

As you can see, if you have the money to buy a $17K Apple Watch, you can buy ten of the recently released new Macbook and some change. Or if you don’t like Apple products, you can surely use that money for other things like getting a brand new car (SEE: 6 least expensive cars in the Philippines), or just be considerate and buy your friends gaming PCs / consoles if you’re that rich.

I heard that the gold in the watch would cost $3.5k, can someone confirm?

If it’s true, then you’ll still be paying $6k+ just for the apple branding even for the standard gold watch lol

Because it’s apple. No need for logical explanation…. :)

For 750k, you can buy 2-3 brand new rolex watches. Or a 2nd hand dual-tone (gold and ss) rolex daytona.

It’s not about the price. Apple has always been like that. It’s not about specs vs cost, it’s all about prestige and elegance and exclusivity. It’s like bashing a Lamborghini having a price tag of 100 mil php just because one can buy a better “spec’d” car for a fraction of its cost.

Yet at the end of the day, the Lambo owner doesn’t give a fudge about any of your comments as he watches you drool over his car knowing that those who hate most likely are the ones who cannot afford. So keep hating haters. Puro reklamo wala namang pambili. Haha

Apple is trying to make the high end luxury watch makers notice them by releasing a $17k watch. Thing is, those high end watches are practically family heirlooms as well and the value can go up with age. With tech well…. 1 year old tech is considered ancient, 5 years is probably a legend, more than that?

Well, maybe millennial. And unless its anything like a historical piece of tech sought by collectors in the future then its value will degrade, apple logo or none.
