Watches

I never saw the point of them. I don’t see the problem with analog or digital watches. Everything is regressed to a tiny square of a screen, that you barely look at. I just find it as an unnecessary distraction.

Light Bulbs

I work in retail and I stock these things all of the time. We have light bulbs, that are smart now because why? They’re stuffed with wireless functionality, just so you can simply change a color or maybe dim it through phone. More unnecessary apps, more unnecessary functions just for cheap attraction.

Kitchen Appliances

I’m bundling them all here.

There is nothing you’re gaining an advantage of, when slapping a screen on any appliance and relying on some unsupported app on your phone for basic functions.

    Eh. I like my smart watch.

    • Heart tracking. The peace of mind is worth it to me.
    • Message peeking. Sometimes I’m waiting for a text while doing something that would make it inconvenient or impolite to pull out my phone.
    • Finding my phone. I’m that guy.

      Agree, so nice to track my workouts, sleep, messages etc. I’ve got one for Christmas three years ago and it’s turned out to be the best unexpected gift that I’ve come around to enjoy and use
