Current Events > Are apple watches and smart watches worth it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got one for my birthday, but I have option to return it and take the cash. Before I had a smartphone, it was always something that I saw myself getting and using in the future, but I dont know about these watches.

I just dont see the utility in it. Do any of you? Notifications on my wrist, but it has to be close enough to my actual phone? IDK.

When the weather is nice, I do run outside, so I could use it for that and other exercises, but I already have apps on my phone for that. I also sweat like Rafael Nadal once it gets really warm/hot out, but the strap material and the thing itself seem at first look like they would rinse off pretty easily, so that may be a wash.

I just see more value in a new phone (mine is four years old), a new computer (older), or even an actual watch (I only checked prices at Shinola so far, which assembles watches here in Michigan, and their basic watches start around the same price and its not much more if I wanted a different model) than adding a smart watch to everything.

Or am I missing something about these smart watches?
