Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

I tried a cheap smartwatch to test out the concept to see if a smartwatch would add anything of value to my life before I spent hundreds on a good one.
I liked that I didn’t have to reach in my pocket to take my phone out to check the time, see what a text was, and take calls on speakerphone. The best use case was while I was working and that was very handy. The problem was that my job destroyed that cheap smartwatch in a couple weeks. I don’t have anywhere near the same utility outside of work. So no smartwatch for me despite wanting one, because technology.
What work do you do? Testing electromagnets or something?
Construction. Lots of abrasion, vibrations, moisture, impacts, various sealants, masonry dust, mortar mixes, etc. Basically it is not a great enviroment for electronics kept near your hands. I honestly expected the watch to last a few days and only my caution kept it going as long as it did. Though I did get it ripped off my wrist, the magnetic band sticking it to the truck saved it.
Oh yeah, that will do it. I wonder if a G-shock would fare better. Casio is making smartwatches now, though Im not sure if they’re from the G-Shock line. Maybe those would fare better.
