Gold Apple Watch Editions Land With Leather-Wrapped ‘MagSafe’ Charging Boxes
Now that gold Apple Watches have begun shipping to non-celebrities, pictures are popping up online of what they look like and the fancy internal packaging. Incidentally, the external packaging isn't all that fancy at all -- gold watches ship in the same white cardboard box as the much less expensive models. And other than the imprint on the box indicating what's inside, there's no other visual cue to separate a $349 model from a $17,000 watch.
That changes once you open it up. Inside is a leather-bound box with an integrated MagSafe charger. Apple also includes a cleaning cloth that's the same color and with the word "Edition" written on it, plus a booklet that details the manufacturing process. For the sake of comparison, the steel model comes with a plastic white box with lining and beige cleaning cloth.
