oh good. Now I can wear a $800 iWatch on my wrist while holding my $800 iPhone in my hand and my briefcase carrying my $900 iPad in my other hand. Can you imaging how annoying it will be to receive iMessage alerts on all 3 devices at the same time. Not to mention my MacBook Pro which will also sound the alert.

1. We have no idea what the iWatch will cost but it's not going to cost more than an iPhone.

2. An iPhone, unlocked from Apple in the US starts at $649.

3. An iPad Air, from Apple starts at $499.

the price of the gadgets is not the point...

By inflating the prices the OP made it the point. An iWatch would fail miserably if it cost $800. At $300 it's much more likely people would wear it.
