  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

    I don’t doubt that your smartwatch is useful, but why can’t you just pair to your phone? I can be like 30 yards away from my phone with my earbuds.

  Mine are pretty specific but:

  1. I’m a bartender. I can get messages if the door person/security is having a problem customer while I am elbow deep in an ice well (plus phones are dirty so I’m not touching gross phone and then your lime wedge even if I am super religious about washing my hands with everything I touch behind bar.) I don’t wear it all the time but it is a useful tool.

  2. I monitor my heart rate cos I’m having health issues

  Butttt… I don’t feel bad for these folks, mine came with my phone.

  In the case of the apple watches, you’re right. Android watches are actually quite stylish, though.
