Ehh, decent cars go upto 15 lakhs, after that you get premium luxury cars.

Do you guys remember the millionaire iphone app, that costed a lot and did nothing but showed a jewel icon on the screen, some people have too much money and being stupid can't even increase thier assets, a person who works hard for his money will never buy this watch, it looks ugly and a quick look by another person would label it as chinese/toy like, hell, for 27 lakh I would expect a metal band, I'd rather buy an omega.

No mate, this watch is highly sophisticated artwork created by the Swiss. Of course indians will never be able to make this kind of sophisticated timepieces or anything like this for the next 1000 years or so. India is doomed due to democracy and unwanted bureaucracy, and cheap minds are making it even worse. They think that something expensive is not supposed to be expensive, and want cheapness. That is why you get cheapness in india, and cheapness will not last, but it will seem attractive at first. So the 27 lack price tag is not just for the product, but the hard work behind the product, and the years or research behind the hydrological technology in watches.

Rather than buying that stupid watch at a stupider price I'll get 10 Omega's at that price and that watch will then hide under cave then.
Seriously, even if you had a billion, why on earth would you buy that? Sell your brain instead.

His brain wont find takers ;) :D

But let me get this straight. You say that watch is too expensive? Whats your reference scale for expensive things?

There are billionaires around who MAY buy this watch. "Expensive" is relative. This watch may not even make the slightest dent in their pockets. At the same time there are people on this very planet who wouldnt be able to buy that watch even if they save every single dime they ear/steal their entire lives.

You say you'd rather buy "10 omegas". Omegas arent expensive enough for you? Well, they are for me. But TBH, that argument you just made doesn't hold well with logic. If somebody can buy 10 omegas (not be ridiculed) then someone else has every right to buy this outrageously priced thingy and still not be ridiculed. Or am I missing something here?

Yes, I wouldnt buy this watch, but thats because I cant. But if i were rich and I could afford this watch, I would still not buy this watch. Thats just me. But there might be someone who might ; and I wont say they are stupid. They may be spoilt, but possibly not stupid.

@pranav: Well starting an argument is meaningless as always dude. But I am saying this in short, well I am watch-holic guy, I read plenty and plenty about them, and I collect them. So when I said I'd rather buy 10 Omega's in that price, I meant that Omega's price (not only Ω, there are few other brands as well) for their watches are justified. I mean yeah, they are/might be expensive to some, but not to me, that's not due to their price, that's due to their quality. iPhone is a quality product, but 45k is expensive for it. A watch's main objective is the movement, and no person will buy that HYT's Hydrolic movement over a fine and exclusive one of an Ω or a Rolex or even Longines, and at 27 lac, well as I said, is very idiotic, like some Tag Heuers out there.
I am not a billionaire, and frankly that watch wouldn't make a BIG dent in my pocket, but I will never buy it, but if I ever think spending 27 lac at a time behind a watch it'd be 10 Omega's, not that stupid thing.

More accurate? I don't think so. Yeah, it'll be accurate than the costliest Indian watch, any Swiss watch for that matter, but I don't think it could match Omega's Co-Axial movement and it's accuracy.
Boy I'm happy with my +20 seconds/month watch, for which I paid 1/27 th of that H1's :cool:
For accuracy, Atomic watches are the way to go.

That's just the soc I think, you still need a display and a power source....
Forget it, this just produces the waves, you need to have proper skills to build a clock with this, something 99.9% doesn't have, this is not a gadget.
Device Connectivity The SA.45s CSAC produces two outputs, a 10MHz square wave and 1PPS, both in a CMOS 0 – 3.3V format. It also accepts a 1PPS input for synchronization and provides an RS-232 interface for monitoring and control.

Even though its 720p it still provides a 3D experience that no 1080p 3DTV can match. The only comparison could be made against a 3D IMAX theater

The 1080p version comes this year btw. The 1080p oled panels are ready but will be first used in Sony alpha/nex range

^^what sony has used on those glasses Active or Passive 3D?

It's a wearable 3D TV basically. There are no glasses involved, it's discrete/glassless 3D. Twin OLED panels. 1 panel for 1 eye.

So it's neither Active nor passive, but discrete/native 3D
