Sleek, clean, and if you use its features unobnoxiously (e.g. for exercising, hands-free notifications etc,) I think they’re cool.
If you’re going to be a dickhead and constantly use things like the calling/dictation features, or you’re trying to pair it with a suit or something for a formal occasion, I would opt for a regular watch.
i would use it for /fit/ purposes tbh but my buddy just bought me a fitbit which gets the job done. i already own hella apple products so the whole immersive thing would sell me easily
Smartwatch’s are a very useful tool for fitness, it helps you stay motivated.
At very least the stand up reminder feature seems like something essential for every LULZner, sitting down for long periods of time without standing and moving breaks can lead to bad health issues.

Have they fixed the hecking bands? Fitbit sent me a new one just because the band cracked. By the time I was done with it, it was held together with staples. heck non-replaceable bands.

Yeah, pretty useful. Almost replaces my phone. Easily the most bomb-proof watch I’ve ever had. Still not a scratch. (Steel case)
I bought a 3rd gen cheap on sale just to see if I liked the Apple Watch thing enough to shell out for a newer one. I hecking hated the thing, it wears super awkwardly on the wrist compared to real watches and the UI is disgusting, plus the watch face selection is really limited and they all suck.
They’re not really meant for being something formal that you’d pair with a suit, their main sell point is and always has been about fitness. Pairing one with a suit is more about someone choosing the wrong watch to pair rather than it being the watches fault.
Tacky as shit imo. Looks like a toy. I had one for a while—It’s fun to play James Bond and talk into it to make your lights come on or w/e but outside of a cery specific aesthetic I think it looks shit as an accessory. I felt like a tool anytime I put it on.
Not actually a watch, imo. Just a mini computer, like strapping a small smartphone to your wrist and calling it a watch. If it pleases you, then fine. But it’s normie tier, every 3rd person is wearing one. There’s just no way to make it cool because of that. Your wrist space is better without it, and also better with a real watch that you put some thought into.
Smartwatches don’t necessarily need to look like that, you can get a smart one that looks like a regular watch but it does a lot more than the regular watch. Get with the times, old man.
I’d buy the hell out of the pilot one if I had heck you money, aviation is one of the few situations where I think smartwatches really make sense. I can’t justify $2,400 for a watch that’s going to be obsolete in only a few years though.
>strapping a small smartphone to your wrist
I’d be cool with that, but turns out you still need to carry your phone with you, or at least have it somewhat close. As it is, it’s just another unnecessary gadget whose convenience hardly justifies the price.
That’s the dumbest part of smart watches. They aren’t replacing your phone, you still need the phone in your pocket or near you
So basically it’s just another device that does the same thing but this time it’s on your wrist

Spend a little more and get one with a cell connection.
Are there smartwatches that actually substitute the cell phone completely? That might be something worth looking into. But my smartphone works alright and I only change every 4-5 years minimum when it gets too beat up or falls into planned obsolescence (no longer gets updates, apps stop working, gets superslow, etc.)
I can get and make calls from this, I can get and send texts (keyboard is a bit small, but usable… I prefer texting from my Macbook anyways.). Does maps too.
Really only reason I still have a iphone is taking pictures, hotspot, … and Apple requires one to set up the watch. Everything else I can do through computer or watch.

Miss mine. Totally based.
my country doesn’t have any carriers that support eSIM, nor to they plan in the near future. I have no use for a phone outside being reached in emergencies, for which i wish i could just have a watch so i wouldn’t have to slog around a phone always
>i wouldn’t have to slog around a phone always
Not needing to carry a phone around when at gym or out for a run is freeing.

Wife wears one. Its ok as far as gadgets go, its useful for her. Works at logistics, and calls and notifications constantly bombard her, so its handy. Fitness tracking, sleep tracking, pulse, red days… all that shit is pretty good.
Battery is weak though, a day worth at max.
Not a watch, in general. More like a girly gadget, like I said. I personally would never wear one.
I mean hecking why when pic related exist? I mean the only thing it can’t do is health monitoring stuff but you can get a fit bit to that for like 60 bucks
I have an iPhone and Airpods Pro, so deep into the Apple gayry. But I don’t think I’d get one since I absolutely hecking hate notifications and I have to keep my phone on Do Not Disturb half the day just so I don’t have an anxiety attack.
smartwatches are horrible and pretty similar to fast fashion dogshit. a decent watch will last you a life time AND recharge itself if it’s automatic or solar powered.

Good for looking at pictures of tortellini, bad at seeing what’s going on in North Korea today.
hecking stupid. I don’t respect anyone who wears one.
Chicks dig it
Ok for women, not for men.
Good for office/fitness but not something you’d pick for formal events or anything like that.

Yeah, it’s annoying, but probably good for me.

they look so tacky and childish. i cringe when i see people wearing them with suits
they look like you’re wearing a toy on your wrist

As much as I like having one. But I find myself wearing it every day over my Rolex’s so it had to go.
Maybe if you just had a Rolex daydate and a Apple Watch that might work but I have 6 or 7

the phone tells me the time why the heck would i need a watch
>pocket watch tells me the time why the heck would i need a wristwatch
Wristwatches were literally pocket watches that soldiers strapped to their arms.
Yes and no. Pilots were already strapping pocket watches to their wrists before that time though
Ugly as heck compared to the pixel watch but the pixel watch being so new sure the software is choppy and the apple watch runs so smooth.
This is hecking gross looking
Google just going to google graveyard it like everything else.

They’re essential now. Everyone wears them from executives to the lowly wagie

>wears this during sex
Sex is a physical activity like exercise, so it makes her more /fit/. Based.
Look at all the fat autists who don’t need to track their runs and hikes ITT
they look good, but i easily get tired of em, too much notifications, i already had series 1,3,4,6 and i always get rid of them after 2 months or so…
those watches are not my kind of watches
