    You know what? Good.

    If you want to buy something fancy you could buy an expensive “dumb” one that won’t lose its value in a year or so. It’s the buyers fault.

    Unless you want it for working out I find smartwatches stupid. Are you so busy that you can’t pull your phone out of your pocket?

    Edit: I take it back, yeah seems that there are some specific reasons like those below for wearing a smartwatch.

    I still find spending 17k in a luxury watch dumb, a Rolex (I have no idea how much they are worth) still seems better because it won’t lose it’s value like when the smartwatch OS becomes obsolete.

      In addition to using it for tracking my workouts and bluetoothing to my earbuds, I also found my smartwatch super useful while working as a teacher for surreptitiously checking texts and also for setting timers
