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.
New GE range has WiFi. I didn’t see any need for it, but I installed the app.
I can set it to preheat to cook dinner while I’m driving home from the store. I can set the timer and leave the house and monitor it from my phone.
Honestly, it’s nice to have. I’d be ok without it, but I wouldn’t say it’s pointless.
I recently bought a new induction range. Was easy to find one without connectivity.
