Are people serious about these? I have a friend that tried using one at lunch to send a text message, and it was the cringiest thing I've ever seen.

>using a watch to send a text message
what did you expect
I use a basis peak most days.
I like it, but what I wanted out of it was pretty simple.
I just wanted notifications on my wrist, why would I bother to text from my wrist when my phone is right there ?
There isn't a whole lot of functionality for them currently, other than the health monitoring and ease of access in crowded spaces. Currently, it's more of a financial statement rather than a practical device.

If it has speech to text thats pretty rad
Speech to text is the only way to send text desu senpai
They are indeed shit for sending anything or any kind of action. Only exception is if it has "quick response" actions like you can press one button to reply "I'll be back at the office in 30", etc.
Smartwatches are shit off with for everything unless you get a suicidal amount of text based communication, like texts and e-mails. For an IT person, this may not be other people but instead automatic server e-mails, red flags, etc.
I would say it's nice to get incoming calls to see who it is but if you already had a lot of calls you would be wearing a headset and those all announce that information anyway. Again a smartwatch is for if you get an absolute shitload of texts and e-mails coming in.
Only gimmick worth mentioning is you can use either as a spy device if it comes with a camera or always use your phone as one, since they come with cameras, you can monitor them real time via bluetooth up to 30 feet away. But... someone can always just steal it lel

I don't know. My Pebble Time Steel's voice recognition works really well for quick replies to my texts. 2 button presses and a quick statement and I'm done.

>that kid who always said things like this
>nobody liked him
>>53598581
why ?
its just a watch 90% of the time
the rest of the time, i look at it, read the message and then go back to whatever I was doing.

how do you look at the time? don't tell me you use your phone like a teen
>>53599229
I don't need to look at the time. Everyone waits on me, not the other way around. JFC fukkn omegas.
>>53599229
I look at my phone, but I mostly never need to check the time.

Watches have gone of fashion because of smart phones, that's why smart watches are so cringy.
I like my Pebble Steel. It's the black one so it looks decent, it has a few different faces loaded in as well as compass and calculator apps, and with bluetooth disabled I can go more than three weeks between charges. I only pair it to the phone if it strays too far from actual time and I don't care about notifications or pace counting. I got it for under $50 in like-new condition so it's basically a Casio with extra functions. I just hope when the rechargeable battery finally peters out there's some method of replacing it.
