Hmmm. I wouldn’t exactly call it a waste of money (yet) but my current smartwatch. It’s not bad or anything it’s just… not that useful. The fact that I have to charge it often, doesn’t make it better
The health app is wonky. When it checks your vitals it vibrates. Think about this, you are wearing the watch at night and it vibrates which wakes you up. Stupid.
Apple Music, here’s another one, let’s say you have your watch tied your phone and a Bluetooth speaker connected to the phone. Then use the phone to start Apple Music and stream some music to your Bluetooth speaker. The watch will tell you what song is playing that’s good.But let’s say that you want to use the watch to choose a different playlist. It won’t let you. It will claim you don’t have any device connected to the watch to play music. The watch should be telling the phone, but it never will. I don’t know if this is an Apple Watch or an iPhone issue but either way it pisses me off.
Voice to text works great on the iPhone when trying to send a text message. Half the time won’t work on the watch. It willclaim you said one word when you said a different word. Why don’t I just text like most people do ? because I’m a super slow Texter with my thumbs and it’s much faster for me to hit the microphone.
I bought a smart watch and found it collecting dust. My new job is strongly against being on your phone while at work. Nothing against earbuds and a watch however. Now it takes me twice as long to send a text via my watch.
I love my smartwatch, it usually holds charge for an entire day even with the screen on all the time. I think they stopped making them though, it is a Fossil smartwatch. I also like that it just looks like a normal watch at first glance.
By contrast, I have bought a tablet twice thinking I would love to have one, and then NEVER know what the hell to do with it. My phone is easier to carry around. :/
My previous one was a fossil and I loved it until fossil turned it to literal trash with the latest updates + not getting wear os 3. Gorgeous watch tho

I think you need to check your settings, because it definitely doesn’t do that by default.

I feel exactly the same. I bought mine mostly for hiking and the battery isn’t even lasting a whole hike. No tracking or anything.
Apple watch?
Pixel Watch 2
Right, right

Oh yea, the updates really suck honestly. I swear every time it updates I feel like it loses functionality that I loved.
