Let’s talk: Smart watches

[JonathanB]

In 2022, keeping time simply isn’t enough. If your watch is smart enough it can do so much more, and many of us now include them in our everyday outfits.  

We'd love to know how your wearable tech helps you live your best life, or what's keeping you from joining the craze.

Is your smart watch an important tool for your health and wellbeing?
Or is it vital in keeping you connected on the go?

What's the next advancement you're hoping to see in the world of wearable tech?

Personally, I don’t love the constant presence of all my notifications as I spend enough time on my phone as it is! But maybe there’s a good way to balance it out. Let me know your tips for making the most of your smart watch and what you love about it.

I've the Galaxy Watch4 - makes me feel like I'm on stage with 'Matilda' replaying the breakfast scene... the one with the flying pancakes 🥞 🤩

Although they do often fall when the connection drops 

Here's to the Watch5 being more on-scene ✨️

Apple Watch is one of the best smart watches, would like to see three selling them 

[JonathanB]

Great news on that front, we've actually started selling Apple Watch bundles just recently. They're only available in store and over the phone at the moment, but you can also get an add on to your existing plan if you already have the cellular watch.

I've been using the Huawei Watch GT2 for around 2.5 years now, as it came with my upgrade to Huawei P30 Pro. Since upgrading more recently to the Samsung Galaxy S22, the functionality isn't as good as it was which was to be expected as it's not same brand, but it frustrating that I'm not able to enjoy it as much. 

I've also recently noticed a skin rash under the area where I wear the watch, has anyone else had this?

I want to disable some of the notification as it is very irritating.  Any tips on how to do that ? Only selective notification from certain people I want to enable

I love my smart watch. It's really useful when you are at the gym or going for walks as it measures everything. I deactivate the WhatsApp notifications time to time, but I think it is usefull to have it and same with the calls, speciallywhen you can't look at your phone. Other bit I use a lot is the find me phone, I love it! I am a bit of a disaster, so I am always leaving my phone in places and this makes it so much easier

I have the Apple Watch 5 use manybof the functionality daily such as tracking my walks or rides reading Twitter feeds and weather updates there’s so many to use

Used to wear a withings health tracking phone and tried a few smart watches, but I want the flexibility of wearing a different watch each week or day so now don't want to tie myself to a smart watch. I would only consider one if I coukd somehow wear it in addition to a regular watch... Without looking silly

My son is autistic so we use it to track his sleep to make sure he's getting enough and doesn't wake too much at night. It's been brilliant.
