Do you own a smartwatch?

[Kevin Lancaster]

Do you own and wear a smartwatch, and which brand would you recommend?

For those who don't have one - do you plan to get one?

 

[Ho3n3r]

No, last time I had a watch was in primary school.

 

[bwana]

Define smartwatch. I got one of those inexpensive game fitbit clones and it lets me know when I get a phone call, email, message, etc, but I'm not sure if it qualifies.

 

[Cray]

Fitbit HR, not really a smart watch though..

 

[Necropolis]

Nope - don't see the point.

I use a watch to tell the time and my current one does an awesome job of that and I don't have to charge it every night.

It sounds pretty smart to me

There you go then - I am the owner of a smart watch!

It's made me realise how useful they are - I'll probably end up getting an Apple Watch next.

Fortunately I only have to charge mine once a week so it's not too bad. Only takes an hour, which I can spare.

I have this chinese knock-off called a Wearfit.

The only criticism I have of it is the lack of Telegram notifications.

 

[Dan C]

No, I hate wearing a watch.

 

[Ninja'd]

No and never will.

 

[qace]

Yes Samsung Gear S3

 

[HvRooyen]

Used to own a Pebble. Not interested in what's on the market now.

 

[faniebraai]

Yep, Samsung Gear S2 Classic

I've had 2 before this, Samsung Gear 2, and the LG G Watch R (still have it in a drawer)

If you ask me between the Android Wear and the Samsung watch which I prefer...? I'll have to go with Samsung, just so much more refined than Android Wear at the moment.

 

[Ecco]

Nope dont own one. I currently dont need to the charge my what every day (or second day) and thats the way it should be

Can you make an apple watch talk to a proper phone?

Can you make an apple watch talk to a proper phone?

Yes, but all it says is "pleb".

 

[biometrics]

My last smartwatch:

 

[Dylan_G]

Yup. Pebble Time. Bought it after the company was bought off. No regrets.

 

[Sepeng]

I do like the idea of one but I currently don't have Vitality or anything like that so wouldn't make sense right now.
If and when I get something for my steps I probably will.

Yes of course it talks to iPhones.
