Vintage Apple Watches - The Original Apple Watch
With the (re)advent of the Apple Watch, eBay went nuts for the vintage blue bezeled 1995 Apple Watch, billed as the Original Apple Watch. Several went for thousands of dollars. I started looking at my old Apple watches, trying to remember when we got the ones we had, but that was useless, so I hit the web. I came across an article at
My Favorite Apple with pictures showing a 1986 Apple Watch in a 1987 Apple magazine, black with the rainbow Apple logo, in a Men's and Women's version. It is the earliest watch the author could find. There was no mention of value, and I am curious what a real original Apple Watch would go for. Because I need to insure one.
Apple has put out a lot of watches over the years, starting in 1986. My favorite? 1998/99's vintage Apple iMac/iBook G3 Yum line of five fruit colored watches with translucent bands. The blue and green ones are my own personal go-to watches for hanging out and having fun. They sparkle, they catch the eye, they make me happy when I look at them. As viewed from the side, the color of the crystal deepens and rivals the color and sparkle of any jewel. My husband always said I must have been a crow in a former life. If it sparkles, I am all over it, though I do not like expensive jewelry, much to my husband's delight. I love blue, I love green, if it reminds me of the ocean I love it, and these watches just do it for me.
