I’ve been using Samsungs since they started making them. The main thing (after the time) is in fact the notifications, since it’s much less disruptive to me or my conversation if I just check a watch rather than pull out my phone.
Other than that, I hike most weekends during warmer months and I track that on the watch. I don’t really use the data too much after the fact, but I like knowing how long it really was, my heart rate, etc.
I work from home now, but when i was in an office setting it was fine to listen to music, and I used the watch to control the player, again without taking out a phone while I’m supposed to be working.
I use a watch face that gives me some quick stuff like the temperature, chance of rain, my last measured heartrate, steps, and my calories (when I was tracking that).
Basically I use it to avoid pulling out my phone for every little damn thing, and for the health tracking stuff.
This is less often, but if i go to a Waterpark or something like six flags in the summer, if you have a data plan on the watch, it’s really handy to have that and leave the phone in a locker or the car. That way you can still message your group, and if you have it set up, pay for food and drinks or merch while you’re there. They’re water resistant well beyond what will happen there so you don’t need to get a special case or worry about losing it on a ride.
Samsung galaxy watch ultra.
