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.

Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for me.

Mainly use it for fitness tracking, music etc. I would use it for calls but 3 don't offer eSims for it.

Hey Webby,

Welcome to the community!

I'm a huge fan of the Galaxy range myself too 😁

Whilst we've just recently launched eSIM for Apple watches, we've also carried out some successful trials on other devices. So we'll hope to be able to share more about eSIM for other devices soon.

I have the samsung galaxy active 2, fine smartwatch which still hasn't shown its age even though it was released a couple or years ago.

I use it to keep track of my steps mainly but like the observations you can do

I have a Fossil gen 5, love it! Really great to monitor my heart rate - helps to encourage me to walk\ride\run faster.

It's two years old now and I need to take it into a store to get it looked at - the HR monitor stopped working and I'm having charging issues now too. Hopefully they'll be able to help me out, or maybe time for an upgrade?!

My personal preference is yo have a large faced quality wristwatch on my arm. If I want to I have an app on my phone for steps walked and that's good enough for me. I am usually happy enough with my step rate without using the spa much.
