they're pretty cringe but ok if you're using them to min-max your eating disorder, most people don't actually do that tho

considered buying one at one point, now they kinda just make me think of some medical device
i think most people don’t even use them for anything

I wear a smartwatch most of the time for the health tracking, sleep tracking, gps, notifications and convenience then switch to nicer watches for work presentations, special occasions, that sort of thing.

make sure your smart watch matches your kilt and fedora, you disgusting fatbody

Definitely gauche in terms of aesthetic but that doesn’t mean it could not be practical also and usually those things are mutually inclusive if you think about it. Function over form type of thing.

Meh, I don't hate them and they do have functionality but I just think they look ugly. Plus I bought an analog watch to get away from checking my phone, notifications, that kind of stuff so the last thing I'd want is to have another phone on my wrist. If that's what you want though I ain't judging.

They're status symbols now so basically mandatory, same as iPhones.
Ever if something else is better it's not better.

I have a suunto run, though I am currently trying to optimise my /fit/ness to hit numbers in a set timeframe, so I wear it to keep track of things like resting heart rate, step count, cal expenditure sleep and recovery, and tracking running and lifting.Keep in mind that they do track you and your health markers and that information is obviously being sold. So it's a case of>do you need it, or want it?
>if yes, try to make it work
>if no, save your money and don't get one

I don't like 'smart' things. I have 2 brand new flat screen 'dumb' TVs still in the box so I will never have to own the other kind.I don't use a smartphone and I'd never wear one of the watches either. Probably couldn't without the phone to connect to it anyway. You kids play with all that shit if you want to. I don't need it.

Smart watches are the epitome of tech for impressionable normies. A person wearing one indicates that they are so addicted to their smartphone that they need an even more visible terminal for the device installed even closer to their fingers than their pocket. There's nothing /fa/ about using a smart phone any more than is absolutely necessary.
