For the smart watch customers, what job are smart watches helping you with?

What tool(s) would you use to get the same job done without a smart watch?

There are no jobs a smart watch does that my phone doesn't do. They are largely a fashion statement.

Thatโ€™s my perception, and I am open to learning otherโ€™s perspectives

Health monitoring.โ€ฆ. and I don't think pebble will fill that gap for me the way garmin does ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Without a smartwatch, this level of health insights are really very difficult to achieve

I specifically got one three years ago, after no using one for almost a decade, for the health trackers - heart rate and ECG. I heavily use the heart rate monitor when running. Music controls, Messages, notifications and GPS are nice too.

For me, a smartwatch helps with quick notifications, fitness tracking, and not having to pull out my phone constantly. Without it, Iโ€™d rely on my phone for notifications, a regular watch for time, and a fitness tracker for health dataโ€”but having it all in one place is the real value. โšก๏ธ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’œ
