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.

    They is exactly my philosophy for my watch. And it got rid on the phantom vibration I used to have from my phone in my pocket. Thinking I had notifications when I didn’t.

    Let me know I have a notification, and then I can decide whether to deal with it now or ignore and leave it for later without having to get my phone out.

    Also sleep tracking. But that just requires a basic accelerometer with Sleep as Android anyway, nothing special

    The original Pebble was perfect.
