Which puts it in the range a reasonably good watch and much cheaper than an expensive watch.

Right now I'm wearing an Illinois Andover from the 1930s. It's a very dumb watch. It's also working as well as it did 80 years ago, and will still be running strong after all the smart watches are in landfills.
Watches are great for glancing at the time without having to free your hand and fumble around in your pocket. Other than that though, I'd rather pull out a phone. I sure as hell don't want my wrist shouting out notifications every time I get a spam email.
Now, if these new smart watches came with hacking movements...

Could be a little embarrassing if it starts reading the spam out loud as well...

for me smart watches had their opportunity and that was back when calculator watches were the big thing. I am that person however who only wears a wedding ring and on occasion my fraternity ring but aside from that I am happy being jewelry free.
you want something inspirational??

Whist at Uni (~1977-78), I owned an HP01 wristwatch.
Arguably the world's first "smartwatch"
Was the envy of all the geeks.
Not the female ones though. Strange, that.

Got the original Sony one, it's ok, but a watch that you have to turn on to see the time...no, not good enough.

Actually Pulsar was the first to make a watch like that, the Sinclair was a low-rent copy. The Pulsar went for over $2,000 in 1972, which would be over $10,000 now! And yes, you had to push a button to see the time, because the LED drained too much power to be left on all the time. A pretty terrible watch for all that money!

I haven't worn a regular watch for twenty years or more. For many years I kept a cheap calculator watch in my pocket, but I stopped caryying that when I got a phone with a calculator.
If I got a smart watch, I'd want to carry it in my pocket. I don't want something around my wrist.

It is right below the "Faaaark, No!" Option.

Why not just strap a smart-phone to your arm? Maybe with elastic bands. Better screen than the watch.
I like watches, always have but unless the smart watch can project a screen or interface at least as big as my smart phone I don't see the point.
