Hello.

For a long time I have considered smart watches to be a gimmick but since they have become more accessible and common now for some time, I was wondering what the people who own and use them think of them?

So what has your experience been of them?

One thing I am curious about is how functional these (especially the Android ones) are without being connected to a phone via bluetooth since bluetooth drains battery?

    Oh dumb TVs still exist. See? All though I don’t know why you would want one, TV is a relic at this point. Today all you need is a PC and optionally a smartphone by which I mean PinePhone or Librem5 :)

      The TV as a specific device is a relic, but a PC or smartphone is not suitable for family viewing. There are still some differences between tvs and monitors, but hopefully we can eventually just get rid of the two separate categories in favor of a single display category.

      Huh. I stand correct then. But yeah, I agree on your second part, I do most of my media consumption from my phone or computer. My parents watch (mostly Chinese shows on YouTube) on TV though, and I don’t think they’ve ever gotten used to media consumption on a computer, let alone a phone.
