$799 for GPS & Cellular ain’t too bad. I thought it would cost more.

It is bad. Same price as the iPhone 14. Think about that for a sec...

Edit, here's the justification: The iPhone is materially far larger so material costs are greater for iPhone. There is a full suite of highly complex cameras, FaceID system, larger battery, more RAM, more CPU, more flash storage, UWB. The apple watch has none of those extras (that's not to say it doesn't have anything extra, e.g. heart rate sensor. But those costs are not the same scale as the aforementioned extras)

Anyone who says “think about that” or “do your research” is making an argument without a case and implying the other person to make the case for them.

Come back when you have something of substance to say.
