Hello.
For a long time I have considered smart watches to be a gimmick but since they have become more accessible and common now for some time, I was wondering what the people who own and use them think of them?
So what has your experience been of them?
One thing I am curious about is how functional these (especially the Android ones) are without being connected to a phone via bluetooth since bluetooth drains battery?
It’s mainly an overpriced tracking tool that needs charging. I’d recommend just buying an analog watch instead. Keep in mind that the data a not-so-smart watch collects is probably of less use to you than to third parties.
Agree with this. I have a $10 casio f-91w that’s lasted me 7 years now, I can shower w/ it, it doesn’t scratch, doesn’t track me, and has a 10 year battery life. This watch hasn’t been redesigned since the late 80s and it doesn’t need one.
