This is exactly what I’m thinking. They are leaving soooo much money on the table here, it’s unbelievable. And it could be such a huge brand booster so they would sell a lot of more other models too.
What I feel is that they are probably working on it and they want to do it right instead of hastily creating one to satisfy the market. Let’s hope so :) Maybe Watches & Wonders 2022…
