    I could have told them this was a dumb idea from the start; creating something that doesn’t fill a need, is just another device to carry around and could just be an app on a phone that we already carry around, just to cram it down people’s throats “because AI,” is probably not a good business plan.

      If you add a strap to it, it will be smartwatch. So there’s a need and a niche, just not for one more way to do the same stuff

        That’s not a bad idea, but why not just integrate that functionality into a smartwatch?

          This is exactly what I meant: they’re selling a watch without a strap, and saying it’s something new

        Wow, I didn’t even realize that it requires a $24.99 per month plan from T-Mobile for voice, texting and data. These companies are getting really brazen.
