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.

Only have a Fitbit for now but seriously considering the Garmin's for running and Fossils for the Google OS out there at the moment but battery life is one that's pricing to be a concern

My eyesight isn’t up to using one of these.

I just discovered that a triple tap on the watch face will zoom! Only had my fossil gen 5 for two years before I found that out!

Hey Triscall,

I prefer the smart watch to take a quick look at the incoming messages and it also helps to keep phone away

I have Apple Watch 4 - just added Three e-sim & is great - enable me to take watch & not phone out - so far working great - ( it took Three a long time to adopt e-sim for Apple Watch ) - but is working great 👍

What's the 3 e sim as I have galaxy s20 and have carry in a pocket to count my daily steps but find it falls out, this is due to not taking out watch.

Hi Mate

• how did you go about adding the esim , I was supposedly set on Saturday just gone said around 30 min to pair Watch to phone 24 hrs later no joy told to go into my local store ? . 
  my watch is a series 4 cellular , on the 3 website it says series five and above are compatable because they have the esim built in , any advice would be appreciated..

[JonathanB]

Hey Dudley21,

Welcome to the Three Community. We've identified that the series 3 onwards should be compatible. We're getting the web page in question corrected, thanks for calling this out.

Are you still waiting for your smartwatch to pair up?
