Conan O’Brien spoofed the Apple Watch on his late-night show, reminding us all that Apple’s newest product is a little ridiculous.
Are you planning to purchase an Apple Watch? With a starting price of $349, we were stunned to discover that it is, in fact, only a smaller display for your iPhone content — the only upside seems to be that you don’t have to reach into your pocket if you want to check your notifications.
Still, it’s a nice bit of bling, and with a built-in step counter and other fitness-friendly functions, we wouldn’t totally be against this device… if it wasn’t for the price.
Luckily, Conan O’Brien has an alternative: the Apple Pocketwatch!
It’s more than a binder clip and a wallet chain. It’s got the Apple logo on it!
The “budget” Apple Watch comes at just $249, and yeah, it’s just your old iPhone on a string. But at least you get to say that you spent your hard-earned money on a new Apple device — and you still have $100 left for a ridiculously overpriced pair of headphones!
Or, you know, you could consider the fact that you have $300 to spend on a gadget you don’t really need, and consider donating some of the money to charity.
Are you planning to buy an Apple Watch — and do you think it’ll be able to aid you in a way your iPhone doesn’t already?
