Are smartwatches worth it?

You can ask the same question about pretty much any piece of tech you ever consider buying. At the end of the day, they are designed to provide you with a service that should, hopefully, make your life a little more convenient.

But ultimately you may not really need to part with your cash if the object doesn't really fill a need you have. This is the same philosophy you should have for any purchase you ever make.

But, that being said, there are some notable pros and cons to smartwatches.

Pros

• They promote a healthy lifestyle - Many have health tracking features that will make you more health-conscious
• You get quick access to notifications - Rather than digging your phone out of your pocket, you can see updates on your wrist. Of course, this could also be considered a con
• You should never miss a call again - If you are always on the go, your smartwatch can help you always pick up calls. Again this might also be considered a con
• They are convenient - This is their main pro. Some can let you make cashless payments, others let you send and receive messages
• Some double as music players - Enough said

Cons

• They can be expensive - Smartwatches are not the cheapest of purchases. Their cost might outweigh their advertised benefits.
• They tend to have a short battery life - Like many smart devices, their battery life can be dire. 
• You need your smartphone nearby - This is a major drawback. Unless they can connect to a Wi-Fi network they will need to be within Bluetooth range of your phone to get the most out of them.
• Small screens - Due to their size, they do have pretty small screens. This might be a deal-breaker for some.

When it comes to smartwatches, Apple is a market leader. Their latest Apple Watch 5 is no exception.
