I figured it's all about Jonathan Ives.
He likes gold and it's particular aesthetic, which is why all the new stuff has it.
My completely uninformed opinion is that Steve Jobs probably hated it, which is why it never existed until post-Jobs Apple.

That said, when I look at the current gold Iwatch--I just think about the melt value. I can't think of any gold watch manufacturer who didn't produce a watch thinking the consumer could theoretically keep that watch for life, with the proper care. Sorry, about rambling on--I have just thought about this watch too much. I don't have an exciting life.
I really hope that they work to offload as much computation to the users phone as possible as more features are added so that one watch can survive multiple iphones.
