Ultimately, the Apple Watch became little more than a premium fitness tracker. Which seems to be enough of a market segment to sustain it.
You can get a $40 "kinda sucks but does the job" fitness tracker, or a $250, $400, $800 Apple Watch. Plus bands at $50 and up.
I'm not sure we'll see the same for Apple Reality Pro™. You can get the $400 Meta Quest 2, the $1,000 Meta Quest Pro, or the… $3,000 Apple Reality Pro? Relatively speaking, that's similar, but in absolute terms, that's a lot of money.
Plus, the utility… a lot of people stand to benefit from a smartwatch (even if it's just for placebo effect-ish reasons). How many do from VR goggles?
