Do you have one? if yes do you use it? on a scale from 0 to 10, how much do you find it useful?
I consider buying one but i'm not sure yet if that'd be a good investment, so I wanted to collect a few opinions :D

if we look back to the 90's a smartwatch woulda been alien technology
i recently got my wife an applewatch series 6 for birthday and its functions are truly brilliant, camera, loudspeaker, microphone, health aspects, use of several apps - yes i think this little thing is usefully in certain situations
but in my opinion there is nothing like a Breitling or Rolex watch
fun fact: applewatch beats whole switzer watch market in sales
i would consider this rather a nerdy gimmic
i am kind of a nerd, but still not nerdy enough to wear a smartwatch
I've gotten one as a gift from perentz, but it's the most useless shit I've ever had so it was thrown somewhere in the abyss of drawer.
Anyway it reminded me about someone "wearing cheap plastic watch on a wrong hand" :ff:
:rofl: you got an amazing memory, I was 16 yearsold and I had no money :P I don't think there's a wrong hand to wear a watch though, I see left handed people wearing on right wrist every days :D
I currently use a Seiko 5, it's not as prestigious as those Amco mentioned but the spirit's there. If I'm looking for smart watches it's because somehow I wish my watch could do more than just being a watch, but on the other hand, Seiko (and higher brands) does such qualitative products that I fear switching for a gadget made in china would be a downgrade, even if these are often more expensive
Seiko watches me likes. Good choice.
Smartwatch for gopniks only
i own a Jacques lemans ceramik dublin watch and a Bentley Breitling watch, the Breitling one is fake actually xd
damn duke, some neat watch you got there! :tup:
Yeah oldschool from 1979. Used ones cost 1000$+
if i went for a smartwatch, i'd look into ones like Garmin or something, tactical stuff and more precise health monitoring. I don't need an extension for a phone, just some tools.
Breitling#1 forever and ever. Pretty much the most underrated brand at the same time lol!
Used to pimp around with one at my teenagerhood...some of my relatives used to care a little less about things like that than most people would do. Downgraded to Frederique Constant later days, which i did eventually ended up cashing out :lol: Sic transit gloria mundi.
Speaking of smart watches that's just beyond my casual understanding, a pretty conservative mind of mine does not even employ more functions of an Android smartphone than calls, sms'es and a simple messenger. One yet to obtain any social network account besides a ten-year old russian one. You'll never know

Needless to say an oldschool men's one is a lot more reliable asset than all the smart watches combined...One mentioned "investment" huh?

hätte ich damals mehr Geld gehabt, wäre es sicherlich eine Rado geworden :)

Ja die hat was :tup:
RADO ist überbewertet, meine Frau hat eine RADO, die ging nach einem Jahr kaputt, beim Juwelier habe ich dann über RADO gemeckert weil meine CASIO für 19 DM über 20 Jahre ohne Probleme ging, und die beim Juwelier darauf hin "RADO wäre eine designer Uhr die darf das" :confused: da war ich sprachlos
