Why do people spend money (and quite a lot of it) for devices that have less functionality than a smartphone?

  • Tablet is just a bigger screen, but not same power like a laptop.

  • Smartwatch is just tracking device that sends even more of your personal data.

And BOTH are another battery that you have to worry about.

I use a Pine64 watch, and set it as a notification center. It shows me notifications as they come in, so I don't have to take my phone out of my pocket while at work. It allows me to see if the notification is urgent or if it can wait until break. When I'm not at work, I put on an analog watch. I don't use tablets, except for an ereader.

Edit: added link.

I was interested in the Pine64 for its very low price, i mean, even if I don't like it, i didn't spend much on it.

But then.. Why would i pay for a device that gives me more notifications??

My phone has no notification sound, not even vibration, I hate being distracted while I am in the middle of something!!

I want less notifications, not more!!

The same reason why I almost didn't buy it. But I changed my mind after missing a very important sms, because I was at work and couldn't take the phone out of my pocket.

To each their own, for sure, and notifications on the wrist isn't for everyone.
