Thinking about buying a smart watch

A cheap one, I was thinking the galaxy watch 4. Anyone own a smart watch?

I don’t think the Galaxy 4 is cheap! I have a Galaxy 2 and I like it.

Do you think it’s good even if I don’t want any of the fitness features? Or would a normal watch be better.

Don’t buy an expensive sports watch if you don’t want fitness features. Buy an inexpensive one instead. It will be good enough. I rely on the notifications and calendar on mine to not forget stuff.

If you want cheap, but effective you should check out the xiaomi band 8 pro.

It does what the expensive ones do for a fraction of the price and works with your smartphone.

Does a smart watch take my data and give it to advertisers? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: I don’t approve of that kind of thing.

I like the fitness trackers but I use them a lot. I am not interested in apps or anything else than simple things like time and date. Saying that. Check out what is available and the things like battery life. I have a phone with me most times I’m out so I don’t really need too much on my watch so I’d say really check out what features you really want if your going to spend the coin on one.

I bought an Apple Watch a year ago and never use it anymore.

I prefer an old fashioned watch these days.

I wouldn’t be without my Apple Watch

Had one since series 4

I guess it just depends what you want. I’m into watches but wouldn’t wear a smart watch. My sisters family all has them and they use the features often


. As a watch guy I can’t condone smart watches. Here’s the watch I’m wearing today.

I have the galaxy watch and I don’t like it, it’s to big and uncomfortable :upside_down_face:

That looks expensive, how much did you give for that?

I think I’ve decided to buy a cheap Casio watch, I really only need the time and maybe alarms.

What really is the purpose of a smartwatch? I’m curious, I just don’t get it. I don’t own one so I’ve never used it

G shocks are nice. I have a green reliable one I’ve owned for a few years. Has a built in step counter as well, though I need to sort the settings out on the watch.

G shocks are god tier. Nah they’re respected in the watch community. With 5% off I paid $770. I think you can now get them on the grey market for mid sixes.

That’s cool. Very sporty and the ceramic case is cool. I don’t know if you’re male or female, but the size is pretty standard maybe a little on the bigger side but not big. It all depends on your wrist size. Hope you enjoy it.
