Wasn't there a trend where kids were just wearing dead apple watches as accessories? It's just a status symbol, like gold bracelets.

I just graduated college and I’ve never heard of this. Can’t find anything about it online either.
You can get a functional Apple Watch on Facebook for 50-100 bucks. So not much of a signal for status.
We have much sillier, trendier accessories to choose from :)
Might be just a certain demographic then, there was a viral tiktok with athletes wearing dead apple watches.
Are you not in the United States?

Not every kid has 50-100 bucks avaiable.
I heard this was a thing with AirPods when they first came out.
I was recently at the airport and also saw several pairs of fake AirPod Max headphones. They looked fine from a distance, but up close it was really obvious and they looked bad.
Yeah, and there are kids pooping in litterboxes in Texas schools! /s
I would never trust media covering youth trends. It's a bunch of 50yos whose teenager told them something as a joke and they took it seriously.
