Apple watch now, but I have plans of picking up a hybrid soon. Im looking at Garmins vivomove or instinct crossover.

Neither. They get in the way when I put on my backpack.

Cheap casio because I definitely do not want a mobile on my wrist. Too distracting already

I've had my g shock for 12 years and just now I've started wearing a smart watch. only thing I've used it for is heart rate, sleep, step counter, precise time, and easily accessible stopwatch.

Having an easily accessible stopwatch with a flick of the wrist and 2 pushes is MUCH faster than looking at then unlocking the phone, navigate to the page that has the clock application, and scrolling to the stopwatch function.

I've started to be more cognizant of my health, and having a bio monitor makes me feel I've accomplished something today. Big numbers go BRRR. WEEKLY STREAKS GIVES ME THE GOOD BRAIN CHEMICALS.

I enjoy something with wrist presence, and without something there, it just feels wrong. So why not have something there that's accurate, useful, and fashionable.

I am not a watch guy but I love the data I get from my Garmin so I wear it pretty much 24/7

Usually have a watch with me, but never wear it. Now and then time means something.

Neither. I've never liked the feel of a watch.

I've personally been using a apple watch series 2. See no need to upgrade it tells the time battery lasts a long time even after all these years of use and it can tell me my heart rate,play tappybird and I can listen to music on it I bought it used for £40 3 years ago complete with the box extra straps and a charger literally one of the best purchases I think I've ever made only compliant is that because the watch was manufactured in 2016 support dropped several years back and support for some applications such as audible has dropped which is a shame

I had a Fitbit for a while but I hated having to charge it, so I know I'd hate a smart watch.
Something tells me I'd enjoy having a mechanical watch but I don't really have the motivation to drop a fair amount on something I may or may not like.

I have yet to find a smartwatch which reasonably fits my tiny wrist, so there's really no competition.

I really want to get onboard the smart watch thing, but my usual daily wear watch for the last decade or so has been a Casio protrek prg-550, which is solar powered so I haven't even had to change a battery in all that time, let alone worry about charging it, so I really kind of don't want to switch to something I have to remember to charge every day or every couple of days

I like to wear a smart watch that looks like a regular watch. I have a Withings. It does basic notifications, has the usual health functionality such as heart rate, workouts etc. But the battery lasts a few weeks between charges.

Just recently went been to a Fitbit charge 6 from a Galaxy watch 5. I don't use any of the features of a smart watch and having to charge it every day is bullshit. The Fitbit is charge ever week or week and a half.

Smart watch. I’ve been wearing one every day for the past 5-6 years. I like that I can check notifications at work, in a meeting, or any time it’s inconvenient to have my phone out. I also really enjoy having my fitness data tracked for trends over the years: calories burned, steps walked, heart rate, breathing, exercises, sleep, etc. It has really helped me become a more active person as I try to beat previous goals.

I am a bit of diy tech fan, wanna try to buid my own smart watch one of these days

I own a few nice wristwatches for special occasions, but my daily driver us a Fitbit. even though charging every 3-4 days is a bit annoying, I do like wrist access to notifications, step counts and activity tracking.

I have an Apple Watch because of its ability to detect falls. Since I commute a lot by cycling if I were to get into an accident(hit and run, or I fall off my bike) and fall unconscious, the watch would be able to alert the police and get me the medical attention I need. As well as the watch could provide the ambulance worker a way to identify me because my information is on the watch in case I forgot my id card.

I hummed hawed on this over the past few years to finally end up in the pixel watch 2, being sold on getting workout, sleep and general heartrate metrics.

I do both.

Started with an analog/digital watch.
Got an activity bracelet and swapped for a smartwatch later - using it only for steps and timer.

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.

Both, but much more of my days are an Apple Watch SE2 than my DW5600.

I use it as a HUD - I want to know the exact time for work, current temps high/low, sunrise / sundown times, and a pop up for screening phone notifications helps me quite a bit with not checking my phone as much. I also appreciate wrist heart rate (for keeping anxiety in check,) compass is neat, and knowing the local dB is helpful for keeping my tinnitus from getting worse.

I never thought I’d like a smartwatch until I tried one.
