Hello.

For a long time I have considered smart watches to be a gimmick but since they have become more accessible and common now for some time, I was wondering what the people who own and use them think of them?

So what has your experience been of them?

One thing I am curious about is how functional these (especially the Android ones) are without being connected to a phone via bluetooth since bluetooth drains battery?

    I use my Pinetime daily with WaspOS. It’s been great, but it’s definitely not at the same tier as a mainstream smart watch. I see it as a handy tool for telling the time, acting as a flashlight for really dark rooms, and doing alarms. WaspOS does support notifications but only with android devices. I think once I start using my Pinephone as a daily driver in a month or two I will switch to Infinitime which has more features and has a native app for the Pinephone.
