    Yeah. Must be the buyers who are braindead, not people like yourself (and CmdrTaco) who can't see what Apple actually does bring to the table.

    So, they bring MMO-style gambling to the purchase of a watch?

    REVOLUTIONARY!

    Hundreds of years of watchmaking, and we've been waiting for THIS! ... ... ...

    Oh PLEASE!

    Turning insufficient supply of a crappy product into gambling opportunity for all of the sheeple.

    What next? The Apple Pen? The Apple Shoe? The Apple Belt?

    Oh! I know! The Apple WALL SOCKET!

    Like a regular wall socket, but white, with an embossed, glow in the dark Apple logo!

    Seriously, Apple could package fresh feces, say it came from Steve Jobs, and millions of fanboys would real-life deathmatch for the opportunity to buy it.
