> Buying an expensive product is surely more enjoyable. We all want quality products, and everyone deserves the best. But, is it always a good idea? People often imply "long lifespan" when they buying expansive products, which is not always the case. Take phones for example, a well-made "cheap (inexpensive)" phone now days could last as long as the expensive one under the same usage. (Heck, the cheap/boring phones lasts way longer than some crazy expensive ones such as Galaxy Fold/Flip) I have a bluetooth bracelet myself, made by Garmin. And my friend got a similar product from Xiaomi at around half the price compare to how much I paid for mine Garmin. We all brought the device around the same time, around 2 years ago, and both device are still functional today. However, due to how Garmin designed the product, the glass surface on my bracelet can be scratched really easily. While in the case of Xiaomi, they designed their product in such way that the robber fringe around the glass will protect it from been damaged. The result is, after 2 years of use, my friend's Xiaomi looked almost new, while my Garmin is telling the others that it been abused by a barbarian. So I think the author has underestimated the "worst-case scenario". No, the real "the worst-case scenario" wasn't "the cheap one breaks", instead, it's "the expansive one breaks". Shop smart, I guess :)
