Everybody is different. Here's why I like my Apple Watch:<p>- Map's haptic feedback is great while riding a motorcycle. I know whether I need to turn left or right. Don't need to see the route, don't need to mount the phone to my handlebars (and potentially ruin the camera)<p>- Haptik. Great haptic metronome for musicians.<p>- Fitness tracking.<p>- Notification screening. It's more convenient to flick my wrist than it is to pull out my phone.<p>- Payment. I don't have the problem with terminals this author has. It's better than pulling out my wallet and pulling out a credit card. It's better than pulling out my phone.<p>- Digital ID. I live in a state having digital ID. I can leave without my phone or my wallet and I'm still good to go.<p>- Mini player. I don't have AirPods so I need a simple way to change songs (usually while I'm mowing). Don't have to stop, pull my phone out, try to keep the mower running, and then change the song.<p>All in all, it's useful enough that I keep it.
Some Apple Watches are FDA-approved for various functions, so he is incorrect regarding data reliability. I believe it is accurate enough, as the FDA certified it for AFib, backed by several years of studies conducted by Stanford.
