Smartwatch users, what do you have and what's your experience

Smart watches are a panopticon

Use real watches instead, such as casio

I don't have any experience using mine for 2FA, But I can tell you a good model.

Moto 360 2Gen.
Battery lasts a good two days for me.
You will however need to keep your phone on your person to use it, smartwatches are not stand alone devices.

I have the same watch but first gen, same issues/problems

However, I think I do remember there are some watches that can be standalone, especially since the Android Wear2 update (if it already happened), but I’m not sure.

Also, smartwatches are totally useless when you don’t have one, and completely essential once you have one.

I had the 2nd gen Moto 360 for about 8 months. If you get a smartwatch don't buy it thinking it will change your life. It's basically just a watch that you can issue Google now commands to and get notifications on. Now having said that the device was fine and worked well enough, however the watch would randomly disconnect from my phone which was fucking annoying and made me look stupid when I was actually trying to use it and had to reboot it and just use my phone instead. Also the battery life was inconsistent. Some days it would last 15+ hours and other days it would die after a few short hours, with no difference in the usage at all.

If you're just going to use it for 2FA, why don't you just get a Yubikey? Different models for different uses. USB, micro USB, NFC, etc.

>mobile phones are no longer mobile
What a time to be alive

don't mean to hijack your thread but I want to also get a smart watch after I gain some weight. Whats a good watch I don't need my phone for it to work? So I could go work out and only bring my watch. Bonus if it also plays spotify to bluetooth.

Smartwatches have enough autonomy to track your workout and sync with your phone's health app when you're done. I used to have a Samsung Gear Fit. It was okay.

So would I not need my phone to be with me? I basically want to be able to leave my phone at home and just take the watch which will alert me of any calls and texts also.

It will not alert you of anything while away from your phone. No smartwatch will do that.

There are Chinese "smartwatches" that are actually fully featured phones with a SIM card slot and everything. It sounds too good to be true though. If you're feeling adventurous, buy one and report back: http://a.co/gKKia3K

What about the samsung fronteir? It apparently has lte which you can sync to your number if you have At&t. Let's you make calls without your phone near it.
