Sars that is because us lefties are smart enough to combine the best of both worlds :)

I write left handed but pretty much everything else I am do as if I am a righty, including watch position.

Makes it easier when buying gold clubs at least

As a lefty who wears his watch on his right hand, I never have any issues using pushers on my chronograph watches. From my stand point, lefties don't get confused with reverse controls as they are used to dealing with it. Its righties that get confused with things like that.

As to the watch itself... meh, I suppose it gets people who don't usually wear a watch, wearing one. The other issue I have with it, is that it only works with the iPhone 6. So the cost also needs to inclued a new phone.

That includes three phones not including the new ones. I'd say that's fair enough. 4S is pretty old now.

If people are willing to pay then it's not Apple's fault. They just charge what they think they can get away with.

I don't think I'm the right kind of customer for the watch. It seems to be aimed at jet setting, tweeting, stocks and shares checking, fitness twats.

And I certainly wouldn't pay that much for this first design. Needs to be a lot thinner and I doubt people will buy a new one every year like they do with ipads and iphones. At that price, I'm not so sure it's going to do that well. Sure it's a luxury item but it's not special enough.

Comedy pricing but given how often they've got away with it, it's foolish to expect them not to sell.

So am I right in thinking the Edition has exactly the same internals as the standard watch? If so that's even more bizarre. I'm no watch expert but I thought people who were prepared to pay a huge amount for their watch would justify it with the quality of the craft and materials. If it's the same product that you can buy for a tenth of the price, how can anyone justify that?

Spec of all versions is the same. The high end one is purely the cost of the gold.

I still feel like I hardly know enough about it. While the price for the Edition models is crazy in my mind, comparing it to solid and partly gold-plated watches seems bang on the money and oddly enough sometimes cheaper.

I still have a lot of questions I'm waiting to be answered, which will most likely come in the coming months to a year.

There seem to be a few articles out on the interwebz now. None of them answer your questions?
