      Me too. I don’t see the point. My life is already full of distractions and I bet the batteries in those are hard to replace when they inevitably don’t hold charge any more.

      Buy g-shock, know time. Good.

        They’re useful for people with sleep issues, and people who are trying to get fit or lose weight. The sleep and fitness tracking features are great for statistic nerds like me. Or people with a heart condition who don’t want to carry a bulky ECG machine with them everywhere. But if you fall into neither of those categories, I can understand why you would say such a thing.

        I don’t go anywhere without my smartwatch. Only time I take it off is to shower and charge. Owning one has improved my life for the better. For example, I found out that I have sleep apnea because of my watch. And I can track whether or not my workouts are burning muscle or fat, and adjust accordingly.

        I mean LOOK at everyone in this thread. “Muh TerribleCo SlaveBuilt 4 is only a week old and they’ve stopped pushing updates and the battery doesn’t last the whole day anymore I have to charge it at lunch.”

        “What’s it for?” “Text messages hit by brain 4 seconds faster.”

          Everyone? Well let me be a change then. I love my smart watch. It vibrating wakes me up easier than alarm. Step and sleep tracking is really useful to me. While a gimmick sure, I really enjoy being able to update and change my watch face on a whim. Even with always on display, constant heart rate tracking and step tracking, my watch easily lasts 48 hours and charges within an hour while I’m in the bathroom getting ready in the morning. I get it’s not for everyone but far cheaper than a Rolex and way more functionality.
