I have a nice, handmade mechanical watch and it's never tried to spam-call any emergency services. Also shows the time fairly reliably.

  These are not the same category of product in the same way that a smartphone and a rotary phone are not the same category of product, despite have words in their name in common.

    You seem to have ignored the /s in your parent's comment. (EDIT: grammar)

      GP is being snarky, not sarcastic.

    I have one, too. A swiss piece, ~20k retail. It's a nice piece of men's jewelry, but that's all it is.

  Yes, but can it collect large amounts of personal data about you?

    The big question is can it save you 18 seconds per day of time wasted pulling your phone out of your pocket?

    It sure doesn't, and for me that's a point against. The continuous monitoring of a bunch of my health indicators is quite helpful when trying to determine how much more quickly than baseline the medication I'm on is trying to kill me.

  A mechanical watch showing time reliably? I don't buy it.
