Never bought a smartwatch, even when I was in love with the Pebble. I hate having to charge it every day. I don't need notifications on my wrist.
I have a Casio that has a 10 years battery and dual timezone I need when I travel and a TAG Heuer when I need a "better looking" watch.
I don't need to track steps or trainings. Even when I did it was with stupid gadgets like early fitbit bands without displays.
When I will need something that will alert people when I fall (in many years from now, hopefully) I will use a specialized device.
* You don't need a smartwatch. *
- outime 7d ago>I hate having to charge it every day My smartwatch lasts 10-14 days. >I don't need notifications on my wrist I do, as I hate missing the few calls I get, and I love being woken up by a vibration on my wrist instead of a blaring alarm. I won't address the rest as it's quite subjective, but honestly saying you don’t need a smartwatch is bordering on ragebait.
- dmd 7d agoYou said a bunch of statements about yourself, and then made a statement about me. You should have concluded "I don't need a smartwatch." Not everyone has the same needs.
- basch 7d agotap to pay is handy, i would wear something just for that if it lasted all week on a charge. having a fitness / sleep tracker that i cant wear while i sleep cuz it needs to charge defeats the purpose. doesnt quite fill during a shower. apple also made it prohibitively cumbersome / confusing to own two devices that boot up to identical instances. why cant i have two pieces of hardware, and whichever one i pick up resumes the session. i dont want them to have two configurations, i want them to mirror each other, if a setting changes on one, it changes on the other.

- 0gs 7d agofwiw, the new pebble lasts a week on a charge and it is great. but agree most of the smart features are still useless.
- rpdillon 7d agoIt's great except for the side button durability. I had to throw my latest Pebble out because of that.
