In general though I do like having a smartwatch. If nothing else, I appreciate being able to filter phone notifications down to just the few I actually care about, and I’m sure my wife appreciates the silent alarm in the morning. Everything else it does is bonus. But health insights, controlling my music/podcasts, checking the weather, are all nice to have. I have a guitar tuner on mine, but … there’s no reason you couldn’t just use a phone for that.
