Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch? - eviltoast

Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

    I like it for working out. I run a lot so pace setting and distance measure is important to me. I have health risks so having something that will call 911 if I am hurt is also important. I like the notifications because a lot of my hobbies involve my hands so I’m able to see who is calling or texting. I have it set up to have quick access for timer setting because I like to cook and it’s useful for working out as well. Mine also shows the weather for the next 5 hours right on the face so I can plan my runs or errands better. I like it for sleep tracking as well and it’s been very useful in improving my sleep because you don’t really know how often you wake up until you see it. The pulse measure is cool and for some of my friends with A-fib it’s downright life changing.

    It is super great, highly recommend, but also understand if people don’t want one.
