minus-squareEggyhead@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 months agoTimes where I’ve found myself pleased with my smart watch: Keeping discreet timers. Discreet taps on the wrist when a delivery is arriving or someone important is trying to call me. Quick replying to texts from my SO. Pinging my misplaced phone. Directions to places via cryptic taps on my wrist (and having a little map if I want to check). Remote camera view-finder and shutter button for group photos where everyone can be in them. Having a money conversion calculator on my wrist when traveling. Audio controls from my wrist. (Really nice if you like walking around without a phone in front of you.) Paying through a subway turn-style with a tap from my wrist instead of needing to dig something out of my pockets. Keeping track of my health, which I wouldn’t have otherwise. Less general dependency on my phone itself, resulting in better battery life. Not saying you should or shouldn’t get one. These are just reasons I’ve found myself happy with mine.
