I’ve been using smart watches since the Pebble Time Steel. The reason I use a smart watch is to get off my phone more.
I use it to screen important notifications, read messages, and to tell the time.
It’s a niche use case but I find it helpful especially at work to see what’s happening without pulling it out.
That said my poor pebble isn’t used much these days, and I’ve moved to Garmin. These have always on reflective displays like e-paper that sips batteries. Plus I’ve been using my garmin to track my exercise which is nice.
Definitely cant recommend the more battery sensitive Apple Watch or the Samsung or google equivalent. But if it lasts 1-2 weeks on a single charge with the screen always showing the time, it’s better than a contemporary watch.
