“There has been a lot of speculation about the prices of the soon-to-be-announced Apple Watch. We know that the Apple Watch Sport will start at $349, but have no idea about the prices of the other models. Some people are speculating that the Apple Watch edition will cost $10,000, or even $20,000,” Kirk McElhearn writes for Kirkville. “I don’t think so.”
Here are my predictions for prices for the Apple Watch.
• Apple Watch Sport: $349/$399 (“It would be, in essence, a sex penalty: if you’re a man, with a larger wrist, you’re likely to buy the larger model.”)
• Apple Watch: $499/$549 (“Come with a plastic watchband; others will be add-ons. Expect watchbands to start at $100, and maybe cost several hundred for the fanciest ones.”
• Apple Watch Edition: $1,999/$2,199 (“This is not a luxury watch; this is a smartwatch with a gold case.”)
