I had a smart watch when they first came out and the experience was miserable, poor battery and slow response times. I know that's improved now but it didn't offer enough over and above what I can do with a chest strap HRM for exercise, my strap doesn't even need the phone when I go out as it has offline storage.
I have a few mechanical watches I wear as accessories when going out that I love for their function, these will last decades. This is my other problem with smart watches, the battery isn't going to last forever and the specs are eventually going to fall too far behind. I'm not spending hundreds on a good smart watch when I can buy a mechanical watch for the same price that lasts 10 times longer.
