Never got why people actually use those... like it's really that hard to pull out your phone to pay for shit, or the watch you had before didn't have the proper backlight or whatever...

I love mine, since I can control my media with it, see my texts at a glance, and ping my phone when it’s missing. Those features alone make it so that I’ll never want a dumb watch again.

Maybe it's because I'm not really a smart phone person... I got all notifications turned off, even on my lock screen. The only sound it makes is when someone calls me or texts me. Regarding media, I have an old TV, it's not smart, so I don't actually need it. Reagarding the phone missing, this rarely happens and I usually just tell my wife to call my phone.

It’s 100% because you’re not a smart phone person. They are worthless without a smart phone. I like mine because I can use it to check 2fa codes on my Authenticator app without needing to pull up my phone. Which I’m usually on my laptop or desktop when I need them so it is a measure more convenient than pulling out my phone.

I mean, I do have a smart phone (I'm typing from it right now 😂), but I see it as a tool, that's it.

The 2FA thing, yeah, I agree, that could come in handy, I use 2FA a lot 😂.
