Lots of people aren’t happy about rich kid Wang Sicong from China buying his dog two gold Apple Watches worth around $30k, but I think it’s adorable.
Hard-hitting reporting from Bloomberg:
The 27-year-old son of China’s richest man took to social media site Weibo to post photos of his dog wearing not one but two gold Apple Watches.
According to Shanghaist, the caption on the photos reads: “I have new watches! I’m supposed to have four watches since I have four long legs. But that seems too uncouth so I kept it down to two, which totally fits my status. Do you have one?”
well I..umm
Everyone is freaking out about this like nobody ever put a watch on their pet before. If people really believe this dog is going to walk around with watches on they’re idiots.
He bought the watches for himself and his lover most likely. Took a pick with the dog. Trolled an entire swath of media outlets and raised his profile. try doing that for 30 grand any other way.
Sounds like he got value for money to me.
Has an Apple shareholder, I encourage everyone to buy one or more Apple Watch Editions for each of their pets.
“Has” should be “as.”
(Dictation typo.)
He bought them for himself!
Out of curiosity to assess the heart rate monitor, I put my Apple watch on my dog just to see if it would measure her heartbeat. It did at 35BPM. Then I took it off.
Some Americans simply don’t get sarcasm / satire. Seems like the Chinese have caught on quickly! ;-)
If you have that kind of money to spare then why not. I have 2 arms so if he wants to buy me two Apple Watches i wouldn’t say no.
