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.
I like my Garmin smartwatch. It allows me to track my heart rate accurately enough so I can know when to slow down my pace. That’s important as I have high blood pressure and congestive heart failure runs in the family, so I have to be careful when pushing myself.
I also like my smart led strip and my smart plug hooked up to my Home Assistant server. Both are pretty useful when paired with automations, like turning on/off as I leave/arrive home, or turning on at certain times to aid me in waking up. It’s not necessary but it does add to my life.
But what absolutely doesn’t need a smart version imo? Toasters. I’ve seen smart toasters. I don’t need a smart toaster. That’s dumb.
