smartwatches

A lot off Iwatches have their screen broken by falling to the ground.
Did you get any protection?

 

Like all electronic stuff, they are completely worthless after 1 year.

 

No, if I break it, I’ll just punch an endangered sea turtle to make myself feel better, then buy a new one.

 

I have a Samsung Gear S2 Classic. I put a rubber band with a stainless clasp on it, although the watch isn't waterproof. There are a HUGE amount of apps and faces available from elegant to simple to stupid. The only thing I don't like is the alarm is a bit too soft... although when I use it I do tend to wake up shortly after the alarm time so maybe it is sufficient. The alarm on the Fitbit I had before was much better.

Prior to the above I had a Timex Expedition like the one below. I used the stopwatch and timer quite a bit at work as I needed to time production processes in an outdoor construction environment. The dual time zone and alarm were also useful. I mainly do office type work now, so the Samsung is okay, but I would resurrect the Timex for any type of outdoor work.

What exactly is cool about a smart watch? Besides looking like Dick Tracy of course.

Smart watches are for people too lazy to pull their phones out of their pocket

 

Yes.

Just be aware that the same rules apply as for phones.

So looking at your wrist is not distracting?
I'd say go for a phone mount and a headset you can speak commands too.

There's an app I believe it's called Google auto or something. Just activate your mic on your headset and say play "song" or something like that. I haven't used it in a while because I discovered I hate having my phone dictate what I can or can't do.
