Yet, today, they don't bat an eye to dropping almost a grand on a phone...Another few hundred on a smart watch. Thing is, I get 10 times the use out of a phone that's around $200-$300. Currently have a Moto G5. I've yet to NEED or hardly want a flagship phone. Maybe the Facebook and Instagram experience is just so amazing with a flagship phone and I don't realize what I'm missing???
But, when I would suggest a good price to performance value they didn't care. Same with watches. I've had customers turn down a watch at half the price of something like a Michael Kors with 10 times the quality. TO MY FACE. lol So, I continue to scratch my head with consumers in both markets.
