I disagree with #28. I have 3 watches that I've owned for decades. They work perfectly fine and weren't very expensive. They are stylish, accurate, sturdy and don't require much maintenance at all (a battery and cleaning every year or so, no software updates, no daily charging, etc.).
I don't have any need or desire to see text messages on my wrist when I can pull out my phone to see them. If I want to monitor my heart while jugging I'll wear a cheaper and easier device to do so... many exist on the market.
Smart watches simply don't fill any need for me... they would only add the burden of yet another device that needs constant charging, software updates, hardware updates and so on. I don't need or want any of that... I want my life to be simpler, not more complicated.
OK, so it’s not a product _for_you_. Doesn’t mean that millions of others don’t have need/desire to quick-check messages & other notifications without drawing out the phone, or don’t want/need to monitor whatever health factors without additional dedicated hardware.
If all you want is the time conflated with jewelry, then the Watch is not for you.
I’m just perplexed that so many people in that position insist the Watch is a POS waste of money for everyone and heap derision & abuse upon those who find it a worthwhile product.
