I love the idea of having it, but as with every watch I ever had, I wear it, put it to charge and then eventually forget it exists. I have a couple of "smart" watches just taking space in the drawer. Probably one I worn the most was just the Casio F-91W. I think the idea of having to charge the watch (means taking it off and not wearing it for a while) breaks the "connection".

Then another thing is that I always have a phone with me, so I just reach for it to check what time it is.

What would you use this watch for?

Checking the time and specific notifications without getting distracted by apps :)

> What would you use this watch for?

* Because its battery lasts 30 days you can use as an alarm clock that doesn't wake your wife. Unlike the Apple watch, you don't need to leave it charging overnight and you can configure it to emit light only when you press a button.

* Because you're wearing it at night and can control its light you can use it as a flashlight if you need to go to bathroom.

* Because its screen is reflexive you can store barcodes from the library and gym cards on the watch and use it to authenticate on those places.

* Reading and replying messages while driving, control music from your phone and making phone calls while driving and not getting a ticket for distracted driving.

And then there are all the other health related things: heart rate monitor, step counter that you can also use to measure swimming strokes, etc
