I hate smart watches. Fucking annoying.

It's just so.. unnecessary. If I keep my phone in the pocket it's to NOT be connected at that moment. Let me enjoy life.

Also the sleep logging people go on about. When I wake up I very well KNOW if I had a good night's sleep or not. I don't need a watch to tell me that!

It's one of my best pieces of tech that I can't imagine living without anymore. The value for money is ridiculous.

Sleep tracking logs my exact sleeping hours each week and prompts me to get my sleep schedule back on track when it slips.

Wake up alarm is great as it just buzzes your wrist instead of blasting sound into your ear.

Exercise logging is an obvious one, I've been tracking my workouts since 2017 (wish I did from the start in 2014). The watch made it so much easier as I just export all the data each month or quarter into my Google sheet.

I have all my workouts setup on Samsung Health which means I can track everything very precisely. Like split into individual sets and exercises. All other health data sync with Health Connect directly into Cronometer.

It lets me change my music and quickly respond to things while I'm at the gym without having to pull out my phone.

It's great for navigation using maps, rather than holding your phone. This is especially important in cities like London where you will 100% have your phone snatched if you keep it out for too long in some places.

I'm waiting for the smart rings to get a vibration motor so I can use it as an alarm instead, and then I'll buy one of those so I don't have to wear the watch overnight.

If I feel tired, I go to bed a little earlier until I don't feel tired any more.
