What’s a gadget you think everyone should own?

Apple devices are often aspirational, and have a history of being perceived as being over-priced and over-rated products, that people only buy for flexing.

I don’t feel this way about the baseline iPhones and MacBooks - the later being the best no-nonsense personal computing device for the average person, imho.

But even after several years of them being around, I can’t see the value in paying 40-45k for an Apple Watch. (The Ultra line is different concern altogether, but also isn’t targeted at everyday users.)
It does a very limited set of things, and has an abysmal battery life.
Even the interacting is clunky and tedious.

Sure there are fun gimmicks like walkie-talkie and fitness ring leaderboards. But it doesn’t really justify the price.

A Fitbit Charge or Inspire can do good fitness+sleep tracking and basic phone+app alerts for a third of the price, or lesser.

And if you’re not big on fitness, other manufacturers have decent enough smartwatches to keep you entertained.

Even so, I’m seeing almost everyone around me getting Apple Watches lately. And I don’t get why.

Would like to hear from present/past owners of Apple Watches about their experiences. Is it a worthwhile purchase?

Hot Take: Apple Watch is highly over-rated and over-priced

Have received a quote that they charge close to 80K bucks. Do companies even recognise such programs during recruitment? Would love to hear your experience on the same.
