Using section 179 deduction on laptop and Apple Watch

Why when I use section 179 on my laptop and Apple Watch it only deducts a small percentage? I bought the laptop mid October and the Watch was purchased in March.

we can't see your return.   179 is limited by % of business use and also by business income before the 179 deduction.   review form 4562.   no deduction is allowed for federal purposes if you are deducting these items as an employee business expense.

as to the watch, if audited you will have to justify (provide some evidence) that it is used primarily for business
