I have to agree that a 5,000 buck price tag is a bit over the top. Especially considering half the watch is made of plastic.

Anonymous, 22 Mar 20185200 $ steel and snapdragon 200 hahahahhaYou really think a smartwatch would need anymore power than a snapdragon 200/400 ?

The OS is extremely light and besides, your average mechanical watch only uses wheels and springs

Any processor would do the job just fine. Don't expect a Snapdragon 845 in a watch anytime soon because most likely that WILL never happen

1: That looks like a fantastic tool for referees. But you'd be crazy to buy it otherwise.
2: "Big Bang Referee 2018 World Cup Russia". WTH is that? And what's with "Big Bang"? Couldn't just call it Hublot FIFA 2018? That would've been a good name and self-explanatory.

It's so weird seeing famous mechanical watch brands produce these electronic gadgets. Seiko I kinda understand since they created the quartz revolution back in the day and have lead the electronics front for decades, but for the rest, it's just weird.
