Evidently, Apple Watch has plenty of same characteristics with most luxury brands: expensive, elegant, high-end rare earth materials, etc. Will it be popular? Nobody knows. Well, the truth is ordinary working-class families can hardly afford an Apple Watch, especially the Watch Edition. Moreover, if you haven't had an iPhone, your Apple Watch can only act as a normal watch instead of a smart one. In other words, Apple Watch won't be fully functioned without an iPhone.
In recent years, Apple company has been gradually realizing the desire of establishing itself as a luxury brand. Nobody knows its future, but it is a real privilege to enjoy the best Apple products in the coming years.
