I used to have one. It hurt my wrist. I don't need to know what the time is at all in that sort of physical attachment. The clock is on the wall, my phone and my desktop. I don't need to have a rando company gather data about my physical activities all day long so I can get a pretty graph while they sell information about my health to insurance companies so they can raise my premium based of my couch potatoes. Like seriously nah. I also don't need to call a guy or AI from my wrist like Michael Knight.
You are thinking about smart watches and not watches, watches just tell you the time and have an alarm.
