That's fantastic. A smartwatch can too. They're used for different situations.
People can try to show off how much smarter than everyone else they are by trying to "prove" the smart watches are useless, but fact of the matter is tons of people find use out of them so it's kind of a pointless argument.
It has nothing to do with being or wanting to seem smart. People are fed up with their smartphones already and the idea of getting yet another device that's demanding your attention and needing to be kept charged up is repulsive. A smart watch doesn't bring anything of value for people like me.
That's completely fine. But why feel the need to try to convince everyone that they should feel the same? If I see someone using something I personally wouldn't use I'm not gonna try to tell them "oh my XYZ can do that", "wow why don't you just use a XYZ?", "seems pointless when you can just blah blah blah".
It happens whenever done interesting new thing comes out, there's people that use the thing, and people that don't and make sure everyone knows why.
