Smart watches looks interesting to me at first, but knowing how it only lasts 3-5 years and additionally companies loves to purposely make stuff obselete quickly, I'd rather just buy normal watch.... Or just look at my phone's clock.

Agreed, they're largely A gimmick. For like the first time in 10-15 years I got a nice looking analogue watch.
