Bought this last month for my daughter who is not old enough for a phone but we needed a way to keep track of her in the neighborhood and be able to call her. We are an Apple household, so I set it up on my phone but for a child, which allows me to set parental restrictions on who she can call/text and when it goes into school time mode (which can be required by teachers when they're at school). Basically makes it into a watch.
I'm with T-Mobile and they have a $10 basic plan for watches and with an auto pay discount it knocks it down to $5 a month.
When I was researching other "kids" watches with calling ability, there were some that were a little cheaper (Gab, etc) but the savings on the watch would have been offset by the plans ($15/mo).
As some have mentioned, this is basically a series 4 watch, so it should be fine with regards to updates for the OS for a while.
Definitely not in the e-waste category.
This is two years newer than the Series 4, which is still supported. So, I suspect that this will still get another few rounds of OS updates.
Also, even the unsupported versions maintain their functionality. I have a Series 3, and I still use it for fitness tracking, messaging, 2FA, etc.
does it have the full capabilities of the latest apple watch OS? this might be e-waste category

Goddamn when did they release the 1st gen? I feel like this is outdated OS wise by now
It's a SE(lower tier) model that first introduced in 2020, not the first gen Apple Watch. I won't buy one though without all the health functions which are the only reasons I'm wearing it

How do you use it for 2FA?

I have this. Other than EKG and Oxygen Saturation, Always ON display, it has everything else. Supports latest Apple Watch OS and iPhone 6 and up. Processor is fast for everything I need (Peloton heart rate for eg) and the response to input is much faster than Apple Watch Series 3. Great price.
