via Asymco<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We know that Rolex produces about 1 million watches a year and we also know that Rolex had sales of $4.7 billion in 2016. The average revenue per watch[1] was therefore about $4,700.<\/em><\/p>\n

My estimate has been that Apple sold about 15 million Watches in the last 12 months at an average price of about $330. This puts the Apple Watch revenue run rate at $4.9 billion, indeed above Rolex.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Palm CEO with the release of iPhone:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,\u201d he said. \u201cPC guys are not going to just figure this out. They\u2019re not going to just walk in.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They\u2019ve done it with phones, now they\u2019ve done it with watches.<\/p>\n

I think the amazing thing here is that the iPhone is not just a phone, just like the Apple Watch is not just a watch. They\u2019re Internet communicators that fit in our pocket or on our wrist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Asymco: We know that Rolex produces about 1 million watches a year and we also know that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-10-16T14:49:09Z","apple_news_api_id":"bf791d52-b4ea-4eef-ab1f-f6e05409330f","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-10-16T14:49:11Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Av3kdUrTqTu-rH_bgVAkzDw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1QS","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7124,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2017\/10\/17\/linked-a-week-on-the-wrist-the-apple-watch-series-3-edition\/","url_meta":{"origin":7122,"position":0},"title":"Linked: “A Week On The Wrist The Apple Watch Series 3 Edition”","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"October 17, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"via Hodinkee: Apple Watch Series 3, Edition or not, is the watch we've been waiting for from Apple.
