I want to love a smart watch but i just don’t feel like they’re worth it tbh
I have the Samsung Watch4 and it’s cool and all but the battery life sucks (lasts like a day max) and i don’t get any really useful information from it that is accurate enough for me to use
I just ended up using it to see notifications and changing the music but i feel like i could have done that for a lot less than $250.
Is there a use case that i might be missing out on? What do you use them for?
Pebble was one of the good ones. I’ve gotten an inexpensive one running Android Wear, but I find myself seldom wearing it compared to my dumb watch. I wore my Pebble every day since it could last a damn week or more without charging, and the screen was very pleasant to the eyes.
I have a Fitbit versa 3 that I also use for a very limited number of things, but those things are critical for my day to day:
notifications: my phone is always on vibrate, id never know when I was getting messaged or called without it.
alarm: I wake up before my partner, who has sleep issues, so it’s perfect for that, reliable and unintrusive.
sleep tracking: I’m not sure I trust the specific numbers (although generally I do think it’s pretty accurate), but it is helpful for establishing a baseline and informing me if the reason I feel like garbage is because I didn’t get enough sleep or not.
And actually I think that’s it. I thought there was more, but that pretty much covers it. Oh also, sometimes helping with calories tracking.
Second gen. Pixel Watch. Not expecting anything groundbreaking tbh, but skipped the first one and have $$$ burning a hole in my pocket.

Haha I feel that. My Casio digital watch is all i use nowadays
Charging is too much of a hassle for me for what i get in return
