I needed to keep track of the time and I don’t always have my phone on me so I got a mechanical watch instead. It’s great! No having to charge it, no chance of it tracking me and I got a new hobby/interest out of it.
I love my smart watch for checking a notification that I can’t pull my phone out to check as my hands are usually wet and gross from my profession so it only makes sense to me.
Also, they work great as fitness trackers these days too, if you’re into that kind of thing otherwise a mechanical watch will work perfectly fine.
Smart watches.
I do not need an additional notification screen. I see 0 benefits
As somebody with adhd those shit is helpful as fuck…
Smartphone rings
i Check it
After checkin (and not replying) i doomscroll…
Smartwatch gooes on
checkin the notification
decides that its (mostly) not important and keep Doing whatever i am doing right now
I sent my bother a text the other day. I got upset that he didn’t immediately respond, because I knew he had a smart watch.
I realized that I was getting upset for a condition neither of us set. I eventually heard from him and his watch didn’t really matter.
I also think the health monitoring is kinda creepy.

overpriced. limited utility. inferior to smartphones.
One solid benefit is heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring
