I'm looking at a watch and think yeah I'd love to buy it. But then I tell myself why? You use your phone for the time, and as far as a decorative piece goes you rarely leave the house and when you do it's only for a few people that wouldn't care about stuff like that. And also you already have a watch.
So I successfully talked myself out of it.
I've gone back to wearing a watch when out, it's just more convenient to look at my watch than dragging my phone out of my bag.
If you end up talking yourself back into getting a watch, I would highly recommend a semi smart watch like a basic Garmin. Notifications and quick replies without getting your phone out of your pocket are a game changer. Plus all the stats, which are cool ...
Time is meaningless; watches doubly so.
I do use the shit out of my Apple Watch. Iβve got 2 analogue watches that I love but honestly hardly wear.
I've got an apple watch, since i don't use apps i never wore it. It's prolly out of date now.
I pretty much only use mine for fitness. Itβs amazing at that. Notifications are nice to have, but I donβt use any apps beyond that.
Are you telling me I should buy it? π
Is it an Apple Watch? Cause if so yes. Itβs invaluable to me these days.
