Should I Get a Smartwatch?

Keep in mind though that in some countries you're not allowed to wear a smartwatch whilst driving.

Be sure to check the regulations about this for your country.

What country is that?

Edit: it appears to be Canada, though operating the smartwatch seems the problem, not wearing.

You can search "skylet smartwatch" on amazon to get the high quality and cheaper smartwatch easily. Hope this helps!

I'd recommend against purchasing a smartwatch. A waste of money, in my opinion.

Why waste 200 more bucks on a mini-phone that does little other than show the time for 7 days when you can spend much less on a watch that does the exact same thing and last a lot longer?

Not to mention that if you happen to break something in your smartwatch, it's going to be expensive as heck to fix.

I didn't put my Pebble on this morning. Have been missing calls and messages all day. May have to resort to something as drastic as turning the ringer on.

Good. We need to get used to not being accessible all day non-stop.

When I don't want to be accessible I ignore calls and messages. But that's up to me to decide, not my tech and certainly not anybody else.

A lot of people already have smartphones, which already tell time. If you want a watch, get a watch.

Dang, I keep reading the thread title as "Should I get a sandwich?" to which I think "Yes!" then remember to read both halves of a word before responding. This is at least the third time now...

I agree with previous posters, a smartwatch doesn't really do anything new. I'll get one when it has a built-in hologram, but until then I'm sticking to regular watches and regular phones.

No, there are people around you....Talk to them.

You left the Apple Watch out of your poll.
