I think I will stick to my dumb watches, thanks. Mechanical or quartz.

My G Shock is super reliable and will never need a battery. No way I'm swapping it out for some fragile piece of junk screen that mostly displays a clock that dies every few days.

This is peak "smart" watch for me: Sony-Ericsson MBW-100

Having something similar with modern technology the battery life would be much longer, I don't need a wrist phone.
