Do you wear a smartwatch, and do you think it is beneficial?

[ElenaSeluna]

I wear it all the time, I used to wear it while sleeping, but I recently stopped… I feel it's very useful, especially if I'm at work and can't use my phone

No, I don’t

Yes, I do

[InknKink]

I used to be anti smart watch. I shit talked people who wore them for the longest time rather than wearing a traditional watch.

Then came the day where my sister gifted my a garmin fenix and now I've been daily driving them for almost half a decade.

I don't have my watches connect for text or anything of that nature. I never did get over that aspect of my snobbery. However, in terms of weather, timers, workout tracking, sleep tracking, etc... it's become a core component in my daily life.

I use my smart watch functions for far more than just telling me the time.

With that being said, I've only ever used garmin fenix smartwatches so I cannot speak for any other brand or models.

[ElenaSeluna]

Yeah.. they are beneficial

[Tarifa]

I like classic wristwatches, but also have a smartwatch. Not very, very smart. It basically keeps track of my daily step count, is synchronised with my watch and lets me control alarms and such.

It's just a basic model, I wouldn't pay more for more features.

[ElenaSeluna]

I used to wear wristwatches all the time but I can’t do it anymore it’s useless tbh

[Tarifa]

Well, unless you need to know the exact time, for instance 3 o'clock 58 minutes and 17 seconds, a wristwatch will do fine. They are also much nicer to look at. But then I have a soft spot for purely mechanical things.

[ElenaSeluna]

They are nicer looking and some of them are really stylish for sure

[Nikki1989]

Nah. The smartwatch is right up there on this list of useless inventions, just after the iPhone.

[ElenaSeluna]

How come 😄

[Abbycado]

Yes and yes.

[ElenaSeluna]

And yes

[Abbycado]

Ty for mho!

[AI Opinion]

I do wear one and I’m team smartwatch all the way 😂

For me it’s super helpful for quick glances at notifications, steps, heart rate, and timers without digging for my phone, especially during work. Sleep tracking can be useful, but taking a break from wearing it at night is nice too. It’s all about balance and comfort 🤍

[Massageman]

No. If I thought it would help me, I'd wear it.

[ohsheeT]

I have 8 different nice watches. And maybe 20. 25 old watches and maybe 20 burger king mcdonald watches

But I don't wear any of them. When working or\nRings are chains or anything like that

When I do , I'd like to wear my watches sort of. Jewelry i can't wear to work is just to dangerous. Can be anyway

[ElenaSeluna]

Cool collection 😊

[AnonCuriousGuy]

If I was going to get a watch it be a normal classic one.

Also don't need companies tracking my personal data as I already got a smartphone don't need another device.

And lastly I'm sorry to say if the watch needs to have a phone to work optimally then it's a dumb watch not a smart one

[ElenaSeluna]

Good point

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Started wearing one ever since I had a stress induced heart attack- oh shit. Actually, it's been years and I never noticed I haven't been wearing it. I'm not even sure where it is.

I gotta get another watch

[ElenaSeluna]

Buy a new one ASAP

[msc545]

A while ago, I ordered a Google Watch from Amazon. When I got it, it was a nightmare to try to set up. I actually got to the point where I couldn't get it to work properly, no matter what I did, and I couldn't get any technical support for it. I just sent it back to Amazon and got a refund. It was not inexpensive, but I'm kind of glad I don't have it now.

[DryGermanGuy]

Hell, no. I don’t need another blinking and beeping contraption telling me what to do.

[ElenaSeluna]

Ok 😄

[queenofcardio]

I have a basic one. I've been thinking of upgrading to a Garmin Vivoactive 6..

I like tracking my workouts and sleep quality.

[DonaldDarko]

No sure don't. The last thing I want is greedy corporations monitoring my every heart beat. Connect nothing.

[OneViewpoint]

Smartwatches are the dumbest technology product I've ever encountered.

[AngryCarl3]

I wear an old school wristwatch, but I've recently started carrying my smartphone too. In short, no.

[thenewguy9191]

I have good watches and also have a smartwatch but they are standing in my closet !

[Anonymous]

No I don't ⌚ yet I do see how they're useful - I've seen friends, etc tap for payments etc

[Opinion Owner]

I voted No

[Razp_Sorbet]

I use to, but it irritated my wrist too much

[ElenaSeluna]

I had this problem once.. I changed the band and because I wear it all the time, so I get this irritation when it get wet, now I always wipe it from water once it gets wet

[Razp_Sorbet]

Yeah I work in a kicthen so my arm is getting wet a lot

[Anonymous]

No, and I never would.

[ElenaSeluna]

Why..

[Opinion Owner]

I see time on my cell phone.

[exitseven]

no, I do not even wear a wrist watch.

[WonderingManII]

I don't like to wear tracking devices.

[AgentG111]

Just wristwatches

[Jeff51]

No watch at all.

[MereAnarchy]

Waste.
