I mean, this article seems biased. I'm sure many people did the same for the Watch as well.

Watch has two killer applications, a fancy Fitbit for posh people using Apple own apps, and digital payments. There aren't any possible killer applications for Vision Pro that weren't already done by Holo Lens, Meta, VR2 or anything else already in use by the industry. In fact, most uses cases people are amazed by Vision Pro, were demoed by Microsoft at BUILD 2015 with Holo Lens.

  I want one to extend my Mac screen so I can work with a large screen while traveling.

    But for 3.5K? thats an insane amount of money for that use case.

      Yes. Everything else is a really nice bonus. I would love to be able to close off and watch a movie on a giant screen while on a plane.

        Get an Xreal Air or a Rokid Max for a fifth of the price.

        You can do that too.

  Speaking for myself the killer application for Vision Pro comes from the resolution and audio. If the audio/screen resolution is as good as their announcement suggested and it’s as comfortable to wear as they suggested then it’s compelling in ways that other devices aren’t.

  Nothing the Apple watch does wasn't already available in devices from Garmin and others either, Vision Pro and Watch are no different in that sense. Apple don't do “things no one else does” in any of its (modern) products. Apple does “things that are already out there, with extra shine, and better integration¹ with other Apple stuff”. By that measure, if Vision Pro is a useful+reliable product at all, even if over-priced, you wouldn't expect returns in excess of those seen for watches/iphones/etc. -- [1] cough lock-in cough cough

Unlike with watches, which are just there when you need them, you need to commit your self to use headset.
