Shortie Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Smart watches are something that have become popular over time and now I see most who have one and have found them reliable and a convenience. My mum has a smart watch and she finds it super convenient being out and about, especially if my dad has to contact her when she is out with her being his carer at the moment. Do you own a smart watch? Would you say they are worth having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismal_Bliss Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 So I am really interested in a smart watch. The problem is that I am a tile setter by trade. I tried wearing a FitBit one time, and I destroyed it in just a couple months. Cracked screen, dipped in water, etc. etc. So I don't think it's wise for me to get a smartwatch after that, lol.

Bizdustry Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I do own a smart watch but I don’t actively use it. I own a Samsung Galaxy, even though I’m a iPhone user. It still pares up and all, but just recently have I been relying on my phone to keep track of my health data such as steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismal_Bliss Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 So here's a related question. There is a lot to choose from in the world of smart watches, especially if you are on Android (if you are an Apple user you're probably already married to Apple, lol). So which smart watch is worth the money for the features today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I do have one as well. A Galaxy Watch Classic 5 but I mainly use it for the notifications so that I can see who's calling or messaging me and that's only when I'm on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I currently do not own a smart watch, however the company I work for gives out watches for every five year anniversary and since this is my fifth year anniversary I will be getting a smart watch at the end of the year. It probably won't be an expensive one, but I'll take it since it's free and you can't beat that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 As of this moment, no. The idea has been floated, but I'm a Citizen snob so it most likely won't be happening any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debashis Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Although, I have got multiple urges to buy a smartwatch, I've managed not to buy one. It's true that it's packed with a lot of features, but most of them are covered by our phones already. They cant replace our phones so, I don't see the need of having one, personally.

It's not necessarily a replacement for our smartphones. I agree that it's somewhat a luxury item at the moment but it does have a few nifty features like allowing you to see notifications and responding to certain messages using voice chat. At least the ones that are using WearOS. Also they have other things like monitoring your heartrate and other things if you're really into health.

Cpvr Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Currently, I don’t own a smart watch, but I’d like to purchase a fitbit or an apple watch one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitbits aren't really around anymore per say. Google purchased them and has been incorporating most of the Fitbit features to their Pixel Watches so maybe you should be looking at that instead.
