Is anyone buying any smartwatch stuff?

Wasn't Apple even lumping their Watch sales figures into the "Other" category along with the Apple TV out of embarrassment.

I had a calculator watch when I was 12-13. It was amazing tech, mind blowingly cool. I wore it for like a month. The utility and usability research for the smartwatch type niche was done in the 80s as far as I am concerned, and it was pretty conclusive.

Although trackers are an inherently different tool.

Looks like people are smart enough to ask the question, "why PAY to be tracked?".
