That's only for the gimmick factor of having an HUD, but now that i think about it, it could be useful for people with some problems that need constant monitoring or smth, like they get a pop up "the sugar in your blood is too low, remember to eat a candy" or smth

A notification on a smartwatch with sound could easily do this tbh

Yeah but they aren't very good usually, they also don't allow you to use an analogic watch which is way better for some people, even just for the aesthetic, and you can easly not notice it and the sound is not viable in some scenarios

How would smart glasses be any better with any of these?

Uuh because now you can wear the analogic clock if you prefer and have just a pop in the corner of your vision which is very noticeable but without disturbing anyone around ya?
