I am talking about the Luxury market.

At that price range you are competing with luxury watches, which will still retain their value 10, 20, 50 years from now.

But with this smartwatch you're investing 10,000 usd in something that will be outperformed and obsoleted by a 350 usd watch in 2, maybe 3 years and reach end-of-Life soon afterwards. Are there people who are still willing to pay for such a device. Sure(Think the Vertu crowd). Are they a big enough market to be worth the trouble. I am not so sure.
