There’s a story about this newly rich woman who is trying to impress her new friends. “I clean my diamonds with milk, and my rubies with dilute vinegar,…”

Finally, she turns to an older lady and asks, what she uses.

The older lady just smiles and says that when her jewels get dirty, she just throws them away.

The gold Apple Watch is a status overpriced, impractical good for signaling and technological obsolescence is not really something that a person who buys it cares about.

I wonder how many people actually purchased them vs gifted from Apple.

If I'm a celebrity people are paying me to wear their crap.

I seriously question if they ever sold a single one.

That said the GP’s point is also completely true. No one who bought one (assuming they exist) is mad it fell out support 9 years later. It’s chump change, and if they like Apple Watches they upgraded long ago.
