They're also called smartwatches, when most of them are pretty useless without a phone. Even if they offload everything to the phone, they're still much "smarter" than normal glasses, which just sit there doing nothing but correcting vision.

You know, I never thought of this until I took my phone into a repair shop. I was just like “give me a call, I have my watch.”

Two seconds after I walked out … I was like, “oh, that’s not going to work…” so I just sat around for an hour.

If you have wifi calling enabled on your mobile account and your watch has wifi connection, you can receive calls to it. Or you can get a watch that has mobile data connection.

		You still need the original phone to forward the call. If it is out of commission, nothing will happen.
