I'm sure there will be some suckers that jump on this and when they brag about the cost, people will laugh

I wonder how many of these things they will actually be able to sell?

Not only that, but how many they will be able to sell at MSRP or less than 30% off of msrp?

My guess is that they are going to have to reduce them by 60% or 70% at the minimum to sell any significant quantities.

that's really ugly and overpriced IMHO.

I don't even like what they are doing to their sunglass designs either.

Guys, come on, open your mind! Can't you see they're trying hard?

With all due respect to whoever designed this watch, I'd rather buy 900 10$ digital watches from my local dollar store than this...

Given how poorly the movement keeps time, one could say it was a case of style over substance. However, it doesn't have any style either!
