In Apples eyes the % actually represents two extra zeros.

Stores, including Apple's own ones, typically only make 3% per iPad.
That's why you never see them discounted at any high rate.

Pretty much all independant phone shops etc hate selling Apple stuff as there is no margin at all in it for them

Its not mate
that might be the advertised rate but when you are using cheap slave labour to make them the cost of an iphone to produce is well under £100, when you also add in that fact that compared to European and US manufacturers they flout many environmental rules then that's another cost saving,

They'll announce the pricing properly on the 9th of March
But the sports one with basic band in 38mm (I think, nobody knows, the just said 'starting from') $350ish, which is the same price as the iPad Mini 2, which translates to about £260ish.
I'm going after the 'normal' one (rather than 'sports' or 'edition'), and I want either the Malinase Loop or Quilted Leather bands - so I've allowed myself £400 and hope I get change.
They reckon that the Edition one will be about $5000, but you've got to remember that the market-rate for the gold inside it alone is $1200.

Navigation on them is quite cool, it taps towards the left/right of your wrist as you come up to a turning, so you don't even have to look at it for that.
You'll need your iPhone on you at the same time, but it can stay in your pocket.

$350 for a device you have to pair to an iPhone.
Fuck that. I want a smart watch that works without another device in my pocket. Its like those poor wankers that had to carry the battery for their phone in a separate case.

The market rate for the gold in it will be no where near $1200

Not really, not saying that no apple fans are sheep - but I can geninuenly say that I know exactly their capabilities and the inside'n'outs of them for my desision not to be a 'sheep' one.
Next week is MWC, they'll be some georgous new AndroidWare ones coming out soon. Galaxy S6 is looking really good.
