The new Apple Watch has made it to Indian shelves, and its cost is the average citizen’s pay of three months. The device will come in its 38mm and 42mm size and can be combined to make 40 different watches. Customers will be able to choose from the 1,300 apps native to the Apple Watch and all devices come loaded with WatchOS. The starting price of the device is $665 for the 38mm and $751 for the 42mm.
This is the cheapest price for the Apple Watch worldwide, but it costs the average Indian citizen three paychecks.
The prices escalates when combined with accessories as it starts to look like customers looking to buy the new Apple Watch will have to have at least $1,200 at the ready, $22,000 at most. The Hermes designer watch will also be available in India for the price of $30,585. It’s not clear just how much profit Apple will make from selling their gold plated or designer labeled devices.
One thing is for certain, for the sake of fad and technology, the cheaper versions of the new Apple Watch are expected to sell quite well. It’s not too clear why India garners the cheapest prices for the new Apple Watch, but even then they seem steep for the majority.
