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.

    The point is that for them, it doesn’t matter if the watch is obsolete and ends up in a drawer after a few years.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

      You’re actually off by a lot more than you realize.

      Average US income is about $31.2k, Beyoncé (who bought one) has an income of about $90m.

      Meaning $20k to her is around $0.64 in relative wealth to the average person.

      Literally pennies.
