I've had a variety of smart watches. A Garmin, a Microsoft Band 2, a Fitbit Ionic and am now using an Apple Watch S6.
I like the Apple one. Little things like Auspost integration are nice. I use it a lot to set timers when cooking. Siri's a bit of a dopey assistant, so she's good for that at least. The Watch does sleep tracking a bit weirdly; the Band 2 was the best at that.
I buy these things mainly for fitness though; weights and plyometric training (though my hip flexors are going, so maybe less plyo now) and they've all mostly been great.
My absolute favourite of the bunch was the Microsoft Band 2. I had 4 of them, because they all failed due to dodgy straps (a big and known issue) yet it was one of the best gadgets I've ever owned.
The screen, the fitness features, all way ahead of it's time, like a lot of Microsoft's products and failed because of that, and because of execution that fell flat (again, like a lot of Microsoft's products).
But anyway, I buy them for fitness. I'm going to take the Apple Watch out for a spin this week and try out the Apple Fitness app. There are some good plyo training sessions I saw on the Apple TV that I can link to.
