Isn't the point of making a watch smart is that you can get your phone onto your wrist?

[โ€“] khelmr@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

In some ways yes, but I think a smart watch is optimal for performing tasks quickly and and giving me information at a glance. A smart watch should feel like a dashboard on my wrist that stops me from using my phone unnecessarily. Most smart watches feel like a small second display for my phone with a worse user experience that make me want to always perform those tasks on my phone.
