Thoughts on apple watch (or any smart watch) for work? Thinking about buying one- not for style but for functionality (e.g. not having to check your phone). Is it useful? How?

Go for it but make sure you opt for a leather or metal band. Looks more professional

I’ve found it most useful for activity (reminds you to get up and walk around if you’ve been Tom sedentary) and complications (outside temperature, time of sunset which mattered when I was cycling to work)

Tiny screen makes it less useful for content, but you can configure to get relevant notifications that can help you decide when to reach for your phone.

For variety, check out watch bands on Etsy

If you have an iPhone, the apple watch pairs nicely. Lots of functionality between the two and most ideal. You won't necessarily have the same interaction with others. But, if you have an android phone then apple watch isn't an option go with Samsung

It's actually super convenient. I love mine

Fitbit versa is enough for most. I own both and apple watch shines on two items- calls, interface. But battery life is 1/4 of versa and that's a big thing for me. Also heart rate monitor and sleep tracking are abysmal in apple watch.
