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?

    I have really good memories of my Pebble Time. To me it was definitely the step forward that the smartwatches needed (e-ink, a week battery life).

      And of course displaying in bright sunlight. Well colour e-Ink is improving so who knows what may arrive back on the market in the future.
