The $20,000 gold Apple Watch Edition sold out in China in less than an hour
http://www.reddit.com/tb/323ryl
2万美元的金色苹果表1小时在中国就售空了。几个月之后就淘汰。这个金表果真要成为检测真土豪的唯一标准。
The Apple Watch Edition has already sold out in China — and it took less than an hour for the most luxurious gold version of the device, whichreportedly costs 126,800 yuan ($20,000), to get completely snapped up.
Apple on Friday put the Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch, and Edition up for preorder in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, and China. Customers can now try on and buy the watches, but the company says people will not get them until weeks later in the UK — elsewhere, it could be longer. Relatively few will actually walk out of shops wearing their new accessory.
Just hours into sales in China, there was zero chance of grabbing an Apple Watch Edition, the most exclusive version. Author Ben Thompson tweeted that he had checked every store there and at every one the device was listed as out of stock, but it remains unclear just how many units have been sold and shipped on Friday.
The tweet was first spotted by Cult of Mac. Many people who lined up thousands to spend on the product, at least for now, will be bitterly disappointed.

As Cult of Mac points out, sales are expected to be big in the world's most populous country, which is known for its love of gadgetry and luxury items. But it appears that despite mixed reviews, every country in which the Apple Watch is available will be quick to snap the gadgets up. Within the first 10 minutes in the US, shipping times were pushed back from the original April 24 availability date to four to six weeks.
