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.

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
