Are smart watches still a meme? Or are they becoming useful?

Still a meme.

Still want an android wear one for use as a PC remote but paying $100 for a $10 feature is stupid.

>he now pays for a wearable, trackable ID tag

Good goyim, like the cattle you are

Not only are they not useful but they're also hideous. And that's coming from somebody who still uses a F-91W

Legitimate timesavers, you feel like some sort of mongoloid for having to pull out your phone to do shit

many are either shitty, poorly built or just plain ugly but there's a few good ones.

I had an apple watch for 6-7 months. I think I legit gave it fair chance. In the end I decided it was pretty much a gimmick. Maps don't really work, siri can't understand you most of the time, voice calls with it are terrible quality. The activity monitor works... kind of, just not very accurate.

The main thing it really does well is notifications. The thing is I can take 2 seconds and get out my phone for that anyway. In the end there's no way slightly more convenient notifications is worth $300+. Unless something really revolutionary changes, smartwatches are a solution looking for a problem in my opinion.

Where's the time? I only see a black screen?

They don't do anything your phone doesn't already do, and the Apple Watch can't even communicate information to the Internet without your phone also being present. You colossal waterhead.

You guys get it. This is my experience with smartwatches: notifications sound pedestrian, but they save you so much time. Also,

Speaking as the owner of an Apple Watch, this is all more or less correct. In general, the watch is too slow to be useful. That said, the latest version of watchOS is supposed to cache 8-10 (I think?) of your most frequently used apps to speed up their usage. If it works half as well as Apple implied it would at WWDC, it'll resolve just about every complaint I've ever had about the Apple Watch.

wtf? I hate smart watches now

It's a meme.

Jobs would not have released Apple Watch in this state.

with mine I can keep up with stupid group chats and tell the time without having to pull my phone out. the rest are small simple pleasures. I don't have to unlock my phone when my smartwatch is connected. if I place my phone somewhere stupid and forget about it I can ring my phone from my watch. if I need to look behind or under something I can use my watch as a viewfinder. if my phone is charging across the room I can still get notifications. shit like that is nice enough that I miss my watch when I'm not wearing it.
