Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I'm starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

Smartwatches look like something so consumerist to me, like a desperate move from companies who are having diminishing smartphone sales, but need a constant growth to not face a crisis.

Seriously, with very few exceptions, like people who need to track health issues, I don't see why someone would need it.

They are really nice for keeping on top of notifications, but as a person who can't stand wearing a watch but also likes to deal with notifications immediately, I am torn lol

A fitbit inspire is pretty good for that, but it's only slightly more bearable than a full watch for me
