I remember when the Apple Watch first came out my boomer step-mom asked me what I thought about it (in terms of investing in Apple and if the product has value). As someone who doesn't even wear a watch I never understood it and feel like it got more adoption than expected.

It certainly paled in comparison to the iPhone and iPad. I honestly have no idea how it performed other than it did not become the next "big" thing for Apple.

That said, without looking at a chart, if you bought Apple stock when the watch was released you probably did very well. Of course, if you both Apple anytime in the last 20 years, that holds true for the most part.

Very successful company in spite of not being really innovative.
