On the other hand gold watches are the kind of thing that are proudly passed around as family heirlooms, only the trashiest new money would buy one every two years and throw the old one away.

And if someone bought an apple watch thinking it was going to be an heirloom, well, uh..

Ok, that just brought me right back around to your point. Nevermind.

Which further points the absurdity of this thing. Gold watch that has expiration date built-in and no one will look at it after that. Mechanical watches can last indefinitely given enough care and love. No matter how much you love this thing, when Apple decides it's done, it's done.
