The 18-karat gold Apple Watch is a luxury that only a small number of people can afford, but for much less money, you can have a gold plated apple watch very similar to the one that the wealthiest celebrities wear on their wrists. It is almost the same as the Watch Edition, but costs less than $ 1.000.
Keaton Keller of Techsmartt, has gotten a gold-plated stainless steel Apple Watch from a California company called WatchPlate. With a leather strap and gold-plated buckle, your smartwatch looks like the Apple Watch Edition.
Practically, the only difference that we will notice is in the price. WatchPlate will charge us $ 399 for your job, which added to the price of the Watch model, makes a total of $ 998. It's still a steep price, but it costs a lot less than the more affordable Watch Edition, which is priced at around $ 10.000.
Of course, the gold-plated Apple Watch is not as pure as the real 18-karat model, but virtually no one will notice the "hoax." In addition, if we do not have or do not want to spend $ 10.000 on a watch that could be obsolete in a year (and surely in 3-4 years), the alternative that WatchPlate offers us is very interesting.
WatchPlate is not a company that was born to bathe the bitten apple smartwatch in gold, although we think so from the name of the company. They have been bathing Apple products for years and offer both Gold and Rose Gold options. The process takes three working days and customers in the United States have the shipping costs paid, with FedEx being the company in charge of taking the watch home.

The only bad thing is if by bad luck you make a hairline and the gold is spent showing the steel again.
It is still an outrage to pay that money for a watch that has to be recharged every day, and that is light years away from really good watches.
