An LG smartwatch was given to me as a thank you for a thing I did. I was a smartwatch hater. Under no circumstances would I have bought one for myself. I have begrudgingly come to appreciate some features of the concept.
I use Bluetooth headphones almost all day. Being able to see who was calling me without taking my phone out of my pocket is embarrassingly helpful. I appreciate that this is incredibly douchey. BUT it is reality. being able to stay sitting while making a decision to answer a call is actually useful.
Also, voice recognition has evolved to the point where I can respond to other people's texts without having to remove my phone.
So while I agree that they are not generally useful today, I do think there are opportunities that can come within the constraints of smart watches. Much like pechakucha can force better presentations.
- noisy_boy 11y agoDisclaimer: this is just an observation and not criticizing your use case. Of the 6 people sitting around me owning Androids and iPhones, all keep their phone on the desk (either tethered to the charging cable or just lying there) instead of keeping in their pockets. I would think that with the growing preference for larger screensizes, keeping a 5.5 inch phone in the pocket is not very convenient for sitting or having to take it out (not to mention accidentally accepting/rejecting calls while taking the phone out)..
