I love my smart watch for checking a notification that I can't pull my phone out to check as my hands are usually wet and gross from my profession so it only makes sense to me.
Also, they work great as fitness trackers these days too, if you're into that kind of thing otherwise a mechanical watch will work perfectly fine.
Wow I'm surprised you didn't get downvoted into oblivion. Personally I agree with you and I'm guessing most lemmy users are android users judging from this comment.
