people will be attacked for their Apple Watch. A watch is visible at all times. Not like an iPhone in a pocket or a bag.
Look everyone! I have a watch on the wrist that worth $600!! Look!
I would take it off when taking the subway and in certain area of the city.
- yeah, people get attacked in public for their nice watches all the timemonospaced

- @mono, for the new trendy APPLE watch, yesbenfal99
- That attack would involve unbuckling the band and then unpairing the Watch from the owner's phone. Probably a pain in the ass, espeically in public.monospaced

- The thing with Rolex's and other "normal" watches is they could be fake, and they also aren't as recognizable or obvious.iCanHazQBN
- If someone's wearing the Apple Watch, they KNOW it's the real thing and they KNOW exactly how much it's worth.iCanHazQBN

- Sure, I guess you can add this item to the list of quadrillions of items in existence that can and will be stolen.monospaced
- how many other items have this much buzz around them? this is probably top of the list. The latest magical product from the most famous company. it's incrediblyiCanHazQBN
- recognizable, and people will be flaunting it 24/7 in front of everyone by wearing it on their wrist.iCanHazQBN
- I mean the likelyhood of yours actually being stolen is not that great. But relative to other products, it's an extremely vulnerable target.iCanHazQBN
- I'm not saying don't buy one because it might get stolen. But don't be surprised if it does.iCanHazQBN
- I guess you're right. I can't turn on the news without hearing about people being accosted for their Samsung watches every day. LOLmonospaced
