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.

    Tablet for me is mostly comfortable media consumption. Especially when the wife and kid are sleeping or when traveling.

    My primary use for smartwatch is media controls when running, so I don’t have to pull out my phone to play/pause/skip tracks etc.

    I’ve also found that it’s handy to use for timers for cooking.
