Not comparable. First that's one device; two devices costs you $50. Second aWatch is not one of those devices. Complain all you like about who's to blame whether Apple implemented Qi on the Watch incorrectly or against the intent of the standard or whatever, but to get aWatch charging seems to require some serious interaction with Apple -- otherwise you get a sad little product that charges three times and never again (read the reviews for cheapo aWatch charges on Amazon to see what I mean).
It's fair to complain that this is expensive. It's not fair to say that it's "just" the equivalent of a $10 product.
Personally I still prefer plugging things too. Wireless charging just makes you carry all the more things along with your phone which contradicts the entire purpose of smartphone mobility.
Does anyone here actually WANT these horribly shaped dock things? To me they look like every other dock in human history -- a marriage of shapes and materials that will not age well, and will likely look stupid, with poor mating to new products, by the time 2023 is done.
There is a reason Apple envisioned a simple flat mat as their wireless solution. That is what people want. Even if companies don't have the tech to deliver the full Apple vision of arbitrary placement, they can presumably deliver the simpler vision of the above eye-sore flattened to an oval or rectangular mat, no?
I imported mine from Japan many years ago and it's still going strong, my tablet and phone devices haven't seen a USB cable in all that time and I greatly appreciate the convenience of not answering a phone in the middle of the night which is then yanked out of my hand by an attached charging cable.

It's getting on for 9 years old but in terms of convenience the Panasonic QE-TM101-K charging pad was the best Qi charger by a country mile:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZwR19n6EGM
