Smartwatches always seemed like a fad to me. Part of the point with smartphones, at least to me, is to get rid of the watch. Smart or not. I used a watch throughout my youth and still remember when I got watch free. My wrists: free at last!
It's also puzzling me a bit because the appeal of watches among people where e.g Apple is aiming their watches for given the price range, tend not to be about supporting the latest WiFi standards or whatnot, but the value of classic, mechanical, precise, designs.
- Spearchucker 11y agoIt's very subjective. I have a Pebble that I never use, a Microsoft Band that I occasionally use, and a very, very expensive watch with an automatic movement that keeps bad time and I never look at - but I wear all the time. Which makes it a fashion accessory first, and a status symbol second. I imagine you can ask 5 people about their opinions and get 5 different answers.
