Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

Also, the last thing I want is another screen popping up notifications at me.

I’ve never understood the “all the notifications!” arguments. This community is filled with Linux enthusiasts who redesign OS’es for aesthetic pleasure, you guys can’t turn off notifications from apps you don’t want notifications from?

If I do that, what’s the point of the smart watch?

Smart watches do a lot more than just deliver notifications. Control music, send/ receive calls and texts (you absolutely can type with ease, at least I was able to on mine), calculator, smart assistants (Google / Siri), GPS. The list goes on.

Also, I said to disable notifications you don’t want.
