    I found the ZTE Quartz to be a great buy. I wear hearing aids, I can connect to it via bluetooth. This watch is great during a client meeting. Instead of pulling out my phone and being obvious and rude, I mearly look at my watch and get messages covertly. It is a watch for someone that actually has a reason for it. Thank you for reading my comment.

      Jonathan Becker fantastic! You are the first guy I know who has made that point! Some people say they’re “useless”, but you (and millions of others) can earnestly state that they are “useFull”. That must be great to have a watch that turns so many possible “I can’ts” into “I can”. Sweet! (It’s staggering how many people don’t “get” folks like us because they never even try. I’ve got fibromyalgia and seriously wicked CNS issues I can’t control (spasms, twitches, weakness, brain shocks/zaps). Fun stuff. 👎

    I love smartwatches--but only if they have a phone. Due to a spinal cord injury, my hands and fingers don't work much, so being able to answer a call, or make a call, is great. As far as internet, my Samsung Gear S can access anything I need by talking to it, no fumbling pushing tiny keys. Also, a smartwatch has an alarm clock. Conclusion: I think they are great, wouldn't be without one.

    I bought one, and waiting for shipment - and, believe me, I imagined these issues beforehand (about the annoyance of notification's, for example), so I already decided what I would use it for: just for listening music while running, and eventualy for measuring heart rate - and, of course, for amusement. I've already been warned about its low battery life, so I decided to turn off almost every juice-consuming features: no GPS, no Sim-card, etc... (I know, I know: "Then, why to buy one?" - the reason is: I was thinking about buying a watch anyway, so why not buying a cool, geeky one?).
    Congratulations for the honest, usefull video-testimonial!!!

    Number one use of a smart watch is while I am @ work. Controlling music, and volume. Checking and sending texts. Checking weather. Where I work they don't want to see your phone. I do own the samsung gear s3 frontier. Also owned Pebble(good and low cost). For me a smart watch has become a must, however it all comes down to do you go long periods of time where you cannot pull out your phone out of your pocket /purse.

  • @ThomasLR11

    I use a Huawei watch (version. 1)
    Its super convenient on a daily use while I'm working.
    I use it for music controls, my smartphone is paired to a Bluetooth headset. This lets me change, replay, and select music with out having to get my phone out.
    I use the okay Google feature for math a lot. I deal with large multiplication problems and it's easier to look at my watch and ask it what 17x1242 is. It's also useful for trivia facts in small talk like how old an actor is or when a movie came out.
    I use it to track my steps. I try to keep an active life style and I don't want to waste my smartphone battery with keeping my accelerometer always on.
    Some of the cliche apps also come in handy, "okay Google, open flashlight" and I don't have to try to carry my smartphone while I unlock my door at night or when I need my hands and a flashlight. The weather app is nice and easy to use but my phone gives me more details. It's useful on occasion when I'm in a hurry to get ready. I ride a motorcycle and it's nice to see if rain is in the forecast on the fly with out having to stop and open it on my phone.
    Setting timers and alarms are probably my favorite feature. I use it in the kitchen when I cook every time. (Okay Google " set a timer for 30 minutes from now) with my phone I sometimes leave it in a different room or don't hear it. My watch is strapped to me and vibrates giving me no escape and prevents burnt cookies.
    Style is nice. My huawei watch looks great and the screen is sharp. The watch faces are nice and astetics are top notch. I might pick up a asus zenwatch 3 next since is more compact, more powerful, and has the same battery life. The zenwatch 3 like the huawei watch look like premium devices and my huawei is comfortable all day.
    I bought my watch for $200 and at that price I think everyone with a smart phone could benefit from them. More than $200 and your likely wasting your money if you're not a power user. My watch is 2 years old and functions just as good as the day I purchased it. You don't have to upgrade every year.
    This is just a little bit of insight from someone who has used a smart watch for almost two years. Hopefully I'll help someone figure out if they need or don't need a smart watch.

    Working in a shop it's nice to have the watch on hand to send receive calls and message notifications without having to have my phone hanging off my belt where it has a tenancy to snag onto equipment, and crash to the floor. A cheap Chinese smart watch is way easier to replace than my S8. I deem it as a disposable extension extension to my phone. I also find myself less distracted without the phone vibrating in my pocket constantly. I set the watch up for call/ message notifications only.
    So for my needs and the relatively small confines of the noisy shop I work in they are an absolute must have. I no longer miss important calls from clients, and the smart watch has saved my relationship by not missing calls from the girlfriend and having the classic why do you ignore me argument.
    It's also nice to have access to basic information, without having to unshackle the phone from it's overly protective but necessary rugged case.

    I'm good with my Gear S2 classic: the rotating bezel is nifty as hell. I use it as a navigator for on the motorcycle: i wrap it around the handlebar, and with an app it gives me directions from Google Maps, and when i arrive at my destination, i can take it off the bike.

    • @dropj3

      @KayoMichiels 7 років тому +1

      N. E Yeah, i use the "gear s2/s3 navigation" applet: it reads the google maps notification bar and displays it on the watchface. it doesn't need a special mapservice like heremaps that only works with an internet connection.

  • @estellebright2579
    @estellebright2579 6 років тому

    I disable most notifications on my Apple Watch to prioritize what I really care about. Also, I train myself to not check the Watch very often so that it is my go to device to easily control something simple without picking out the phone often. So far so good. Sleep tracking is also good for me.

  • @AnointedFlow
    @AnointedFlow 7 років тому

    Lets be honest. Getting a smartwatch is basically so you can do the things you saw on all those sci-fi movies and shows like talk and communicate from it. If you want to get the best experience from a smartwatch, you have to be able to talk on it along with the text and notifications. The best experience you will have is when you leave your phone somewhere for whatever reason and you are using a bluetooth earpiece. By doing that you can still send/receive your phone calls as well as listen to music while walking or exercising. Without that it's just a glorified notification device. I have a LG Sport Watch Android Wear 2.0

  • @thatwatchguy1640
    @thatwatchguy1640 6 років тому

    I totally agree. I collect watches and bought a Lemfo smartwatch, but sold it soon after because it didn't do anything that I couldn't do on my phone better, and it was not aesthetic as a watch, so I didn't want it as a watch either. Also the fact that I couldn't display watch face all the time without draining battery, was a negative. They can measure heart rate ... whoopy do... who cares I say. People should just buy a Fitbit, otherwise I see little value in smart watches at the moment.

  • @danr3199
    @danr3199 7 років тому

    I have the Moto 360 2, and mainly use it as a watch, but its useful for walking directions, having certain set notifications (phone calls, whatsapp) pop up. Google fit tracking is nice when I dont have my phone on me too, occasionally use a set of bluetooth earphones with it for some music. Battery has never been an issue for me, its charger is next to my bed, and it makes a good bedside clock

  • @Spykersan
    @Spykersan 6 років тому

    I personally mainly use the smart watches I've tried for extra assistance like remote media control and remote camera. I don't have too much of an issue checking the notifications on it, i just choose which apps to give notifications from and I already control some of them through the phone as it is to not bombard me with notifications, so it hasn't been that big of a deal for me. I've never used a sim card on any of mine, since that's not really one of the things I care to do very much, though i could see maybe those that exercise using the fuctionality so they don't have to bring their phones with them.

      @MrMosinNagant1937 7 років тому +5

      I wear a gear s3 every day and I love it. the rotating bezel is awesome. being able to change watch faces is great feature too. its got all the health stuff too like step counter and heart rate monitor. I don't regret buying it, I have no idea why he gets stressed out over notifications. You can set the gear s3 up to send zero notification or every notification. also you can buy normal watch bands for it too, so you're not limited to gear s3 watch bands.

    • @iamsoonernation6604

    • @GregBird
      @GregBird 7 років тому +1

      I have had a Gear S3 Frontier for a few months, and I am very happy with it. As a watch it is stellar, I can change the looks depending on what i am doing or what I am wearing even. It looks great and can be dressed up or down.
      Tizen is a really good watch platform, and the app support is good and it is well designed. So far, I am very happy with my purchase. Oh and the battery life is great. I get tons of notifications a day and use this watch all day long at work (I am an IT manager and am constantly in meetings). I am getting 2 full days on a charge and then some.
      Still looking at getting an Android Wear 2.0 watch as well...best of both worlds!

    I've been considering a smartwatch as a replacement for a smartphone. My husband refuses to carry his smartphone because he says it's too big and heavy. He also needs a new watch, so this seems like a good solution. He's technology challenged, so I'd like to get one where most of the functions could be done with voice commands: calling, weather, directions... Thinking about the Zblaze Thor smartwatch. What are your thoughts?

  • @wanderinglyfe
    @wanderinglyfe 7 років тому

    I use an Apple Watch. My first smartwatch was the original Pebble. I think that while yes, the higher quality and better smartwatches are expensive, if you've ever used a smartwatch, you'll find it very useful. I love being able to check notifications and reply on my watch, go workout with just my watch, and the best feature: mobile payment. Which is also why if anyone wants a smartwatch, definitely go for a better one for better support and features rather than cheating out and getting a cheap China smartwatch. But anyway, this is just my take on them.

    @larsonfam3861 6 років тому

    The s3 frontier smart watch is absolutely 100% utility useful and necessary for me, I work in a steel mill and we cannot have our phones out at all, the company has a policy that sends people home if they are seen on their phones, too many slackers messing around instead of paying attention and working, I am not a slacker and ifni did take my phone out it would be for a good reason, but with the s3 i don't have to go check my phone to make sure the wife and kids haven't messaged some emergency, I don't have to have my phone out to play my music on my Bluetooth speaker or headphones, I am on a high calorie diet and exercise regimen and can add my calorie intake to the health app instantaneously, I can get notifications from my security system, and it looks great and can endure the harsh conditions of my work. All of this is absolutely utility, it's not for social media or games or bullcrap, so yeah there are people who do things besides zombie out on a screen and spend time listening to ourselves speak online, some of us work, and have use for a wearable extension of our phones.

    Thank you for the video. I agree with your assessment that cheap Chinese smartwatches try to do too much and don't get anything quite right. I own/ have owned many smartwatches, and I have come to the conclusion that I want a smartwatch that does the following (in this order): LOOKS like a watch, has decent battery life of at least a weekend, is at least 5 ATM waterproof, and provides me with notifications that are useful without having to look at my smartphone. Some fitness functionality is appreciated, but I figure a specialized smartwatch can be worn for that purpose (does not have to look like a traditional watch). All in all, my favorite smartwatch has become the hybrid Tommy Hilfiger smartwatch powered by HP.

You can only use cash in bakeries in my experience and some weeks ago I had to go back to the car to get my bank card, because a specific Libro shop still used an old Bankomatkasse with no NFC-payment option. So NFC isn't 100 % universally usable yet, but in the vast majority of shops I use.

    I've had a smartwatch for a few months. I put a Sim card in it so I use mines to make calls and receive messages, (Watts app, sms). I agree with you 💯, anything else is pointless.

    for me a smart watch makes my day a bit easier, i work in cellphone towers and when i am climbing the tower and someone is calling me its i can just answer ant talk thru my smart watch so i dont have to take out my phone and take the risk where i might let it fall. and the notifications also makes it easier for me. i use the gear s3 with the s8+ which is a killer bundle

  • @bobholmes4215
    @bobholmes4215 7 років тому

    @TechMagnet No review of an S3 in the mix. Very disappointing. I don't know about Androidwear, but with Tizen (on the Gear S3), you can choose which apps to receive notifications from. I like the notifications because I can quickly glance at my watch to see what just occurred without having to touch my phone or get it out of my pocket while walking down the street. My personal experience of the heart rate monitor on the S3 is that it's very accurate. Maybe it's not that a smartwatch is not for you, but instead your choice of smartwatch and consideration to configurability of notifications so that it's less intrusive. One major bonus of a smartwatch is the automatic time-update to your watch when arriving in a new timezone. NFC payments are catching up - you just need some patience there. We have them in England now, very convenient.

    thanks! I've been grappling with this issue, too. Right now, I've been using a plain old pedometer (for fitness), an analog watch and my phone in my pocket. If a smart watch could replace all three and had a good lived battery, I'd be more tempted.

    Best thing to do with a smartwatch

    the samsung gear s 3 is pretty bad ass, i wanted a fitbit style watch but more, I wanted to be able to check my steps but then I wanted to be able to see notifications and be able to quick text my wife. Dude seems to be hating on smart watches, smart watches aren't gimmicks, when im out and about i can quick text my wife with quick texts i set up in the app and it really works well, i don't need to take my phone out. and when im driving i can talk to through the watch instead of the phone. If you want style just buy an old fashion watch.

    i would like to take a watch out instead of take a phone in my pocket... the full android watch (with a camera) could unlock citibikes and do payments by scanning QR codes in china, also it can navigate for me when riding a bike, feels much better than taking looks at my big android phone.
    i don't even have a watch, just my thinking though ;)

    If i would have a smartwatch i would use it as a ... watch. I have quite bad vision i cant read time from traditional watch, phones in school, office or work are most prohibited to use so having a smartwatch that would speak the time would be useful. I would like to use it to navigate in unfamiliar places im walking with a cane and holding a smartphone in other hand is bit uncomfortable not every jacket has pockets big enough and here a talking Smartwatch would be helpful too. I just don't know which option would be better: fill Android one or those Android Wear? I could fully customize Full Android Smartwatch with Tasker its plugins and gestures and it seems that this ootion has more audio feedback and on Android Wear feedback is less spoken like Google Now and some features are missing hmm..

    1 tizen the Samsung own OS
    2 gorilla glass and stainless steel
    3 it looks super nice
    4 now I can pay everywhere you use the classic card reader
    5 battery life up to 2 days of used ALL THE TIME Even in the shower 😎 like a boss
    6 I can recibe only the notifications that I want
    7 streaming music over Google play with subscription and music from your phone gives you full access to main functions.
    8 it does a lot of things that you do on the phone. Calls, msn things I don't use that's stupid but you still can do.
    Most important I believe tracking activity, water, weight, coffee, heart rate, sleep and al the possible data will help your doctor improve your health

    i just love the apple watch s2 - but i have to admit that the first generation and the now called s1 arent that great; leaking waterproofeness and gps and the s2 is just soooo expensive ..
    i had the first gen from day one .. but just till day two - now with the s2 things have moved on; its fast, stable, the battery lives definetely longer than one day (even with sportstracking and decent use) - nothing to complain - maybe some watchface customization ...
