My wife and I got free Apple Watches and iPhones from our mobile providers as a forced upgrade when they went 5G, mainly because I threatened to cancel service if they were going to cease to support devices that were only two years old.
The health metrics they provide can be a useful target if you want to make your own games around them, but having to charge them nightly limits their utility. When Apple ceases to support my devices I'll probably replace the Apple Watch with a Casio F-91W or something similar. I'll probably place the Necronomipod with a potato running Android that has just enough CPU and RAM to hold the MFA apps I need for my day job.
Neat. Apple watches otherwise go quite expensive, more so in some markets. Also, I feel that Apple's software implementation has been superior to Google's Wear OS for smartwatches.
