Smart Watches Anyone
#8
Yes, some YT video seems to be about an Orangutan bouncing around as if on bad drugs. Others are obviously just content assemblers from other sources.
And let's not forget the halleluja reviewers (aka "influencers"), who state that just about every product is great.
It's almost as if the "everyday Joe's" videos with a few followers are the best ones - I just watched some obviously non-professional videos about hiking tents and thought they were great.
Often, albeit not always, commercialization is killing the baseline.

Regarding the smartwatches - do you really think that phone calls are a use case? Showing the caller or notifications - ok - but the phone calls themselves?

As for map navigation - yes, I quite like the topo maps on my Suunto 7 (although I thought it was cumbersome to set up). Sure, your phone can do the same - and better - but a quick look is so nice. The only thing to keep in mind is - how often do you really need this?

While I barely use this, I can understand that most are buying one as a fitness tool.
