Why do you need a smartwatch?

I do not see the utility of a smartwatch, just to impress someone who does not have that. More useful, it seems to me to be a multi-function bracelet, especially for those who do sports or for travellers. But if you have an expensive overpriced costume and a super expensive car, then you must have the most expensive watch: it does not matter the brand, but only the price is bigger. His uselessness is equally great!

A lot of people like new gadgets just to show off!
Personally I think smart watches are a redundant waste of hard earned money!
Why do you need that tiny little screen on your wrist when you have a larger screen already on your smartphone?
Yes it may be inconvenient to reach into your handbag or your pocket to check your phone!
But hey nobody said smartphones are perfect!
As for myself I find a belt pouch for my phone is convenient enough!

Here is a good example of what I was talking about.
At my favorite electronics store I noticed one of the phone specialists wearing a smart watch!
We talked about it for a couple minutes.
He told me that he just purchased it. And didn't have a opinion about it yet .
A couple of weeks later I saw him again and he wasn't wearing the watch anymore! I asked him why, and he confessed to me that it turned out to be a real pain in the backside, so he got rid of it!

smart watch for me is absolutely not useful. all function that i need already in my smartphone

most of the people are busy in their work or office, and it is not possible to take out mobile phone every time to see notifications of missed calls, messages, social media notifications, etc, so having a smartwatch could save your time, from taking out mobile every time.

Eva, this is a quite interesting theory!

Personally, I use smartwatches to know who text me to know if I should respond now or it can wait, so it saves me time. Besides, it helps me take care of the quality of my sleep and health. So for me, the smartwatch is a useful purchase.

It all depends on the usage, for persons having smartphones you can say it's useless for the persons having a smartphone but for kids & teens these are very handy in fact.

For me, a smartwatch is a more convenient way to check the time and also it's a decent alarm.

awesome

I don't think smartwatch is a necessary device for me. So that's why I never used it

In fact, I do not understand why they are needed. For me, such a purchase is almost useless

I never had a need of buying a smartwatch and that's why I never used. May be in future I need it but not for now.

I bought Apple Watch simply because I like their design ...

I found a really great place with good quality watches called https://www.swissking.to/ and i was very impressed. First of all they look exactly like the original watch. I bought the Roles SV-1 because I was dreaming about this watch all my life but they cost more than fifteen thousand dollars and it is over my budget. I know that they are not real but i am really glad that i found this replica. For all my friends this watch is original and I will keep it secret forever. I already bought the same watch for my father and my girlfriend. I hope they will never know the truth.

To be honest, I also asked myself once and did not think of an answer. For me personally, smart watches are useless and nothing more than an accessory.

Yes, I would like a watch like this

to be updated regarding all the incoming messages

I use it as an alarm and regular clock, and I like the design

If you are busy then why bother to check any of the notification. While it's on watch or phone?

Zize

Yes, I would like a watch like this

did you even understand the post?

To read notifications

That is a great device I suppose. So it would be great to buy one some day

I'll tell you about my friend's experience
He is the host of events and thus he keeps track of timings (sees all notifications and reminders), and also monitors sugar (reminders) because he is diabetic

Smartwatches are expensive and not very useful a smartphone have all smartwatch features.

I want to buy a smartwatch. is it worth it?

Not really.

I also thought about buying a smart watch , but they are quite expensive Does anyone know cheaper options?

What is your budget?

Just think it's cool and convenient

For fitness

The list of information is very perfect and detailed

I don't need a smart watch anyway

I have a smartphone that is enough.

I agree, answering phone calls via smart watches is not that comfortable

It simply has couple of applications, like Gmail and Telegram, that I use all the time.

Is it useful?
Is it comfortable?
It doesn't seem so to me.

If you are serious about your health, a smartwatch can be very useful. But even if you don't, it is still nice to know how long and well you slept or how active you are during the day. For example, I can now correlate my mood to my sleep.

I don't really think I do. I'm more into classics

they are just for sports that measure my heart rate and my speed and distance is very convenient

It looks good on hand, better than normal watches now-a-days but I don't need it as I just want to check how many steps i walked in a day and there is built in pedometer application installed in my smartphone.

For me, alerts are the main reason to buy a smartwatch. Being able to read them without taking your phone out of your pocket or bag is invaluable. It enhances your life and saves time, which is valuable.

Because for me it is very convenient and indispensable device in today's world.

I never had a need of buying a smartwatch and that's why I never used.

I use the watch because I really like the modern style of the watch.

I really like these watches, everything is always at hand, you can see information about your health status.

@Eva Having a smartwatch is a rich kid game and nothing else what is the benefit in having a smartwatch literally nothing. [Google] says there are no benefit of smartwatches
