Are smartwatches necessity? No. Are they convenient? Yeah, they kinda are. Reading notifications and info on wrist without having to take phone out of pocket is pretty convenient. Silencing phone by placing palm of hand over watch face so you're not fiddling phone around as well. Being able to answer important call even if phone is on other end of house, but they connect through home WiFi seamlessly is also very convenient. And other extras like fall detection and heart monitoring. Seems gimmicky, but if it can save even 1 life it's cool. You can totally live without one, but they can be convenient. I still like my mechanical watches a bit more tho :D The mechanical ticking and not having to charge it every day or even ever is neat.

Also you get some health features that are neat. And for some that want more, they could have dedicated model (Garmin, Polar, Suunto and so on)

No wonder how Samsung has lost some sell share in it. Some ppl were tired of Samsung high end price and then switched, therefore bought an Apple Watch even if it's not "that" great (battery life is still a problem right now) and on the other end, they launched a Watch3 with announced features that weren't available (And yet, promised on previous iteration) and only came 8-9 months later (Right now, actually). On top of that : Crazy launch price that are now at kinda okay and selling. For example you can have the 45 mm model for 289 with a 50 refund, so 239 and that's form the 459 price at launch ...

To this day i still can't understand whats the point of smartwatches or sport bands (like the ones xiaomi sells).
The sport bands i can understand them if they were targeted at athletes or people that do sports more than once every few weeks, but the wrong people are buying them just so they can show off how "tech savvy'' they are.
The smartwatch i really don't understand why they exist, the screen is very small to do anything productive with them, you would need to have baby fingers to actually be able to type anything...etc.
