Its hard for me to consider a smartwatch when my current watch is solar powered and I haven't had to change batteries for the last 8 years. Maybe when these can run on a charge for 2+ weeks at a time I might consider it.
- adamweld 10y agoRIP pebble.
- aedron 10y agoMy Seiko Kinetic is going on 15 years without a single charge and will probably do fine for many years to come. Also, I can just look at it to tell the time, no need to turn it on first!
- disordinary 10y agoI found an old Casio in a box a few years back, it must have been five or six years old but was still going strong and had the right time.
- fegu 10y agoMy huaweii smartwatch is always on. That, and being round instead of square, is the reason I bought it.
- suprfnk 10y agoThat's a completely different usecase though. You don't wear a smartwatch just to see the time. You wear it because it can do stuff for you outside of telling you the time.
- darfs 10y agoIm confused. Isnt that the definition of a Smartphone? :P
- OJFord 10y ago> Isn't that [do stuff for you other than telling the time] the definition of a Smartphone? The definition?
- freehunter 10y agoBut why would someone want a wristwatch when they could have a pocket watch?
- fegu 10y agoThe ability to tell time is enough alone. The varied selection of clockfaces to match my mood or clothing makes me prefer my huaweii smartwatch over a mechanical one. I don't use any special features.
- pjmlp 10y agoOn my case, I already went through the first smartwatch wave in the 80's, so I don't see any value on the current one. I see it as a way for mobile OES to sell more electronics, now that everyone and their dog owns a mobile phone and a tablet, and don't plan to buy news ones anytime soon.
