Take your chinese smartband and put it on the couch. It will give u a reading for a heartbeat. LOL
With an apple watch you can control your smart devices. Without having to reach for your phone. U can turn the lights on etc. Ask siri to set a timer for when cooking or an alarm or a reminder.
You can listen to music on them. You can read notification. If someone sends you a picture on messenger you can open it and see it on the watch. You can check emails and reply. You can text. You can control your music while in the shower. You can use apple pay. U can use it for loyalty cards at shops or show your ticket to get on a train or plane!
If u have the lte version you can go to the gym or swimming and use it to call without taking your phone.

Now use your xiami miband

    They even sell and buy your data between each other, That includes your family data and your friends and acquaintance and even people so vaguely related to you you don't even know they exist. All to maximise their control over your consumer "choices" by building a complete profile of you.

People forget that Google primary aim is as an advertising company. That's why they mine your data endlessly. They also engage in anti-competitive practices repeatedly. They've been fined by EU commission so many times in the past for it.

        Most companies are all the same, irrespective of country of origin or industry. Exploiting and profit maximisation machines. It is why they need to be reigned in. Too big, too powerful and possess too much influence.

            Anonymous, 11 Aug 2020Any chance of making it to the Galaxy watches?Not a chance as long as Google thinks people would still consider getting an Android watch instead of a Tizen watch.

            Google abuse their position as much as Apple, whenever they can.

And having different gadgets can make your life easier. I like every type of gadgets. But for me computers and laptops are the best. You don't need to buy new one every year unlike smartphones.

                    I've found having a smartwatch means I don't have to pull my phone out every 10 minutes - saving the risk of drops, loss, theft or contamination.

                          I rather take my phone out of my pocket each time I want to look at the time, than buy a 200+EUR smartwatch only for this. At least when I am not at my work desk (which means 8h per day).
                          And before somebody will tell me they use their smartwatches for workouts and fitness, there are cheaper alternatives called smart bands for this (and the battery is far far better than any smartwatch).

                            I don't consider this much better. Yeah it's cool to have google maps but it's not a game changer.
