With the release of watchOS 5 the first version of the apple watch (including the $17,000 gold editions of it) is officially obsolete

They'll still function as is but they won't receive any updates and may not work with new phones

To all those people who spent $17,000 on a watch that's now obsolete rather than on a non-smart watch that'll last damn near forever, sucks to be you

Oh, also if you look at your smart watch while driving that counts under the same laws as using your phone while driving

Non-smart watches don't have that issue

@troubleMoney Doesn't matter, as long as people know you're rich enough to buy more than one $17,000 watch.

@troubleMoney Anyone dumb enough to spend $17k on a smartwatch is likely able to afford new one anyway. And I say this as someone who owns an Apple Watch, and _not_ the fancy gold one, the basic aluminum cased one.
