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 love my Amazfit GTS mini 2. I have had plenty of them but I don’t like smartwatches, I like fitness trackers. I think the smartness as others said is useless because you already have the phone, you take more time reading a message from a tiny screen rather than just checking the phone.

    The fitness part of it, I love it. Amazfit and other smartwatches have PAI, which are points for your heart rate, basically, game addictive mechanics into improving your health, I do anything to get that score up.
