Low Sales Expected for Larger Apple Watch Series 8 Due to High Price Point
Tuesday July 12, 2022 11:23 am PDT by Hartley Charlton
The Apple Watch Series 8 model with a larger 1.99-inch display is expected to sell in comparatively low volume, which could indicate a high retail price, according to insightful display analyst Ross Young.
Apple is purportedly expecting to ship just one million units of the larger Apple Watch in the third quarter of this year, compared to four million 45mm Apple Watch Series 8 models. This suggests that the new, larger Apple Watch may have a high price point that constrains sales volume.
This supports Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman's recent speculation that the new Apple Watch will be stylized as a high-end model with a price tag in the region of $900 to $999. In addition to a slightly larger display, the device is expected to offer better durability and longer battery life.

You already have idiots who shell out $900+ for a phone so why not a watch too lmaoIt may come as a shock, but some people make a lot of money where dropping $900 for a watch or phone isn’t a big deal for them.
I’ve had dinners that cost more than some people’s mortgages. It’s all relative, my friend. Apple is a premium brand that caters to more affluent customers.
