The apple watch is a health device masquerading as a watch with digital enhancements(Apple Pay, Notifications, Messaging/Phone calls, etc)
You may not remember(or been alive), but in the 90's there was a whole slew of these Life Alert type devices that would call 911 for you if you were an old person that fell and hurt themselves. The Apple Watch is basically the ultimate replacement for that, along with exercise/health features AND it happens to tell the time.
The first version you had to call 911 yourself, but they quickly figured out how to let the device just do it for you, which is where it sits today.
I don't know anything about the HomePod, so I won't comment on that, but Amazon seems to sell a bunch of those speaker devices, so someone must be using it for something?
