Expensive watches

Watch prices make no sense to me. I get that there are cheap Timex watches and expensive Fossil watches and whatnot, but we're talking a single order of magnitude here -- $25 to maybe $250. That's fine. What isn't fine is when a different kind of watch is grouped into the same category -- of search results for example -- costing ten times that price. That's an additional order of magnitude. I understand that different products can be manufactured to different standards, and that some components or decorative parts can really increase the price. But when there are no diamonds on the watch, and it's not made of solid gold, and it costs $6000? How does that work economically? And can we please acknowledge that these are very different products? Yes, they're all watches. Yes, they keep time and sit on your wrist and look good. But if I'm in the market for a new watch, I'm either in the $25 to $250 range, or I'm in the over $5000 range. I'm not in the $25 to $5000 range, because that's stupid. There are watches; and then there are luxury watches. They're entirely different. #products
