I've made no secret of the fact that I have a very weird relationship with the best smartwatches since they first hit the market. I know there are times when having a miniature screen on your wrist can prove convenient, but I've never found them particularly interesting or useful. Certainly not in the same way as a smartphone.
I genuinely gave using a smartwatch a real shot, having purchased a Pixel Watch 3 back in late 2024. But by the time it came to the first anniversary of that purchase, I'd already stopped using it. Having a baby meant my routine was messed up for weeks after, and I eventually just took the watch off during one mid-day nap and never put it back on.
