So essentially, the Apple watch allows you to do some of what the iPhone does, on a much smaller screen, but with the luxury of being able to do it without having the more bulky iPhone with you.
For that small luxury, I expect millions will shell out a lot of money for the Apple watch, and do it every couple of years as the software changes! There’s lots of rich people out there, and lots of people who make decisions that keep them poor.
It costs what is typical for a good quality watch, under a dollar a day.
Those who find it useful are free to buy as they like.
Those who don’t are free to not buy.
I don’t understand why so many seem so threatened by it that they keep getting on threads about products they don’t want to tell those who do they’re idiots.
