Ask HN: Is it worth buying existing smartwatches? Or these will eventually fade?

1 pointsby reach_kapilalmost 10 years ago
With the slew of smart watches (that exactly look similar to each other) like FOSSIL, MOTO360, SAMSUNG GEAR, and APPLE Watch, why do you guys think I should stop wearing my traditional watch collection and start wearing a smartwatch? Am I alone who is thinking this way or everyone has accepted the smartwatch revolution? if not, why not, if yes why yes?

I like mine (first-gen LG G Watch).<p>If you&#x27;re thinking about buying a new one <i>right now</i> though, I would wait. A number of models are supposedly coming out in September&#x2F;October; most of the ones currently on the market will be fairly obsolete then. Plus, it&#x27;s not really a &quot;must have&quot; right now; it&#x27;s nice, I find it&#x27;s great to get notifications on my wrist, but it&#x27;s still very much an early-adopter toy.

If you aren&#x27;t developing for it, I say keep the Rolex.
