I crave an actual watch with no smart crap built in. IMO watches are meant to tell you the time, maybe let you set an alarm or stopwatch, and nothing else. My watch cost $25, does all of those things, and has a battery life measured in years. Anything else I need to do can be done just fine by the phone I always carry around in my pocket.
I like my $40 watch for surfing, but setting alarms or timezones on it is a massive pain. Smartwatches are great for easily setting alarms/timers when cooking :)
That, and I'm trying to also pull out my phone less and less, as it's distracting. (My smartwatch is unpaired from my phone)
