A bunch of my coworkers were sitting around the dinner table talking about a suicide call they had just run. As the discussion wound down one said started talking about almost getting in a wreck by saying “I almost committed suicide when a car” at which time his watch started suggesting he immediately call a suicide prevention line. The phone/watch was not in use at the time.

I've had a Casio watch that recharges from ambient light and sets each evening to WWVB (atomic clock). For health tracking including sleep, SPO2, steps, the Fitbit Charge(3/4/5) have worked well. As an Android phone user with a Samsung Galaxy S22Ultra, I tried out the Galaxy 3 watch. It was a nice color and technology match. Mine has the Verizon phone inside. I enjoyed it for about 3 weeks when a 2nd degree burn blister appeared under the sensor window. Upon doing some research, my experience was not isolated. Many other reported a similar problem and Samsung did their best to cover it up with private interactions with customer service. I stopped using the watch and the blister healed in a month. By the time I finished with Samsung customer service, they were advertising the Galaxy Watch 4. That trashed any hopes of selling the watch without taking a financial bath. I keep it for "nice" occasions as an attractive watch, but it can't be an everyday device. Everyday is Charge5 and the Casio.
My wife has the Apple watch (3/4/5/6) with the phone.

All this and comments reminds me to check into dinesh’s new film. I suspect it will only confirm our conspiracy “theories”.
...maybe even add more.

My daughter bought me an Apple Watch for my birthday one year, since I already had an iPhone and an iPad. I have the version 3, I think. It’s useful for my walks, since I always have my phone with me, it’s almost redundant to have it. The newer ones have more features, but of course they’re much more expensive, as well.
My favorite watch is my other one, my Citizen Ecodrive, going on 20 years.
Congratulations on being a champion bicycle racer, that’s quite an accomplishment!

I have one that I use when I don’t want to carry a phone around. It can make calls and take and send messages, so I can leave the phone at home.

The real downside is that battery lives never improved very much and those tiny batteries don’t last long at all. They advertise 2 days or whatever, but after a year you’re lucky to get 8 hours, then downhill quick. I had hope smart watches, but without some major battery advance they’re doomed.
They are really good for workout tracking though.

Recent Apple upgrade makes checking battery level a hassle.
To: NautiNurse
My battery level displays 24-7 on the face. No problem whatsoever

“Not sure whether it matters.”
Siri is real handy when you want to make a phone call while driving. “Hey, Siri. Call Bob Smith”
“Which number would you like to call? iPhone or Landline?”
“Call iPhone”

My iWatch correctly asked me if “Are you in an accident?” when a car hit me earlier this week. I was impressed. I pressed the “I’m OK” button because I could tell it was like a bad football tackle with no broken bones and painful but not serious.

My watch is constantly vibrating notifications and messages. I tend to ignore them. After a while, I have a long list of things to review on the watch. Too much information.
