Hmmm. I wouldn't exactly call it a waste of money (yet) but my current smartwatch. It's not bad or anything it's just.. not that useful. The fact that I have to charge it often, doesn't make it better
I feel exactly the same. I bought mine mostly for hiking and the battery isn't even lasting a whole hike. No tracking or anything.
I love my smartwatch, it usually holds charge for an entire day even with the screen on all the time. I think they stopped making them though, it is a Fossil smartwatch. I also like that it just looks like a normal watch at first glance.
By contrast, I have bought a tablet twice thinking I would love to have one, and then NEVER know what the hell to do with it. My phone is easier to carry around. :/
My previous one was a fossil and I loved it until fossil turned it to literal trash with the latest updates + not getting wear os 3. Gorgeous watch tho
Oh yea, the updates really suck honestly. I swear every time it updates I feel like it loses functionality that I loved.
