they are all pretty same-y, smartwatches have stagnated significantly the past few year

I like my OG urban but hauwei have some nice ones too

>>61237784
depends a lot on what phone you have

smartwatches seem to be constrained in phone pairing ability

>>61237826
For me the major selling point is the Samsung Pay with MST, but Tizen is utter shit

had a g watch, 2 years later it's obsolete, also spending $200+ for notifications on your wrist with barely 1-2 day battery life is fucking retarded, don't fall for the smartwatch meme

>>61237784
Can smartwatches be independent?

I guess what im asking is, do I need to have a smartphone to have a smartwatch? If I could replace... podcast client, email, internet calling with a smartwatch I'd ditch my smartphone.

>>61238350

some can, the S3 can be a phone on its own if you pay for service

it looks stupid talking into your wrist though

I posted this over in the watch thread. It's a second gen Moto 360. It's actually been pretty awesome for the few weeks that I've been using it. They've become total phone nazis at work so this is my work around.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
they are basically glorified overpriced cutdown """smart"""phones that have a small screen real estate and have very little to no features that a regular """smart"""phone cant do. They have no practicality over any smartphones released in the past 5 years. In fact, some smartwatches require proprietary software from your smartphone to ever be """smart""". So there is NO REAL practicality to any smartwatch other than getting a bit of attention.

>>61242769
Incorrect: they work and do a few things well if you just got given one you would use it and not give it back - buying one however......

>for notifications on your wrist

And calculations. And alarms. And mobile payments. And a voice assistant. And speakerphone. And turn-by-turn navigation. And playback controls. And dictated/handwritten texts. And remote control of presentations. And a remote camera viewfinder. And a whoooooooole fuckload more, you unimaginative imbecile.

>>61242445

It's considerably more functional. Also, the Apple Watch is actually socially passable. Normal people wear them.

>>61242769

BULLSHIT. My job entails receiving dozens of 2FA texts per shift, and without my Apple Watch, I'd want to blow my fucking brains out. They're also extremely discreet. Students love them. Teachers love them. Doctors love them. They're great at workout tracking and timing, too. Coaches love them, athletes love them. (Did you know that the Apple Watch was recently confirmed to be the most accurate wrist-mounted heart rate monitor on the market?)

Pic related: the best smartwatch.

>>61243232
I am a recent convert.

They do a few things very well. But just aren't worth the current asking price.

If you just get given one it will change your world - 2FA is a great use case. But if you are a classic /g/ minimalist / KISS kinda guy it's all to easy to write them off.

>>61243232
a lot of those things are either fucking useless and you will never use them, or they're better off on your phone you stupid fuck

>>61243232
My phone kills your watch at every single one of those use cases. Try again nerd.

I would have a dumbphone be the headset for the smartphone if it had that capacity.

Honestly you guys who are dead against watches look as sill as the people who were still against smartphones in 2010

>>61244800
Im a poorfag. but that's not my issue with smartwatches. They seem kind of pointless if you have a smartphone. So it really becomes a issue of, if the smartwatch can effectively replace most functions of what makes my smartphone useful, then it becomes viable.

If a smartwatch can effectively replace the apps I use daily on my phone, I'm getting one. a anon up there said the S3 can function the way I'd like I'm going to look into that. A smartwatch and bluetooth earphones would be less bulk and worry than a phone.

I use an Apple Watch Series 1 that I got on sale. It's not a miracleworker like the smartphone was when it came out, but it's handy to have in lots of different cases. Biggest benefits, from my standpoint:

– Makes my phone more discreet without disabling notifications. Instead of my phone dinging, vibrating, and screen turning on I just get a tap on the wrist

– When people message me, lets me get a gist of the message and judge whether it's it's important and needs immediate attention or can wait in a single glance

– Makes it damned near impossible to miss important calls and notifications

– Gives quick access to info snippets in text/email like package locker codes without pulling out phone, nice when hands are full

– Checklist app is nice for grocery lists, letting you keep track of what you do/don't have while going through the grocery store without making you that guy fumbling with his smartphone (wrist glance vs. put down grocery basket, pull out phone)

>>61245579
Good smart watches basically just smooth out little bits of friction in daily life. Whether that's worth it or not is a very subjective thing that depends on who you are and what you do every day.

>>61245437
Some do, usually it's a configuration option as smooth takes more battery

That's where the ambient light sensor is on the watch. Commonly known as the flat tire effect on the 360s

>>61245604
This guy gets it

>>61243232
Once the Apple Watch lets me make calls and send texts i'll get one.

>>61247576
Are you talking cell connectivity in the watch itself? Because it can do both in tandem with your phone, and iMessage works as long as your watch has wifi…

IIRC the two issues preventing cell antennas in watches are the increased bulk and power consumption.

Strava on the series 2 is pretty awesome. Don't need to take my phone when I go cycling or I can keep it secure in the pouch on long rides and not miss anything.

>>61247692
Yes, i want to leave my phone at home and use only an Apple Watch with some AirPods.
Other than that it's useless to me if i can't leave my house without my phone why would i bring the extra watch with me if i can do everything on my phone?

>>61247825
>Yes, i want to leave my phone at home and use only an Apple Watch with some AirPods.
I'm sure it's coming but that's a few years down the road at minimum. It'll take both advances in silicon as well as battery tech, because neither is there quite yet.

>Other than that it's useless to me if i can't leave my house without my phone why would i bring the extra watch with me if i can do everything on my phone?
As other posts noted above, it's mainly just to avoid pulling your phone out more than necessary. It can be a good tool for cutting down on distractions if nothing else, and it makes it so you don't have to have your phone glued to your side permanently to not miss important things.

Apple watches can also have music synced to them from your phone, making it something of a bluetooth-capable iPod Nano which is cool in a number of situations (working out, house chores, etc).

>>61246402
That seems like it wasn't worth the tradeoff at all. I assumed it was just some very hard to work-around manufacturing limitation, but it's for some bullshit sensor that they could've just put somewhere else. What an idiots.

>>61242660
