I got my SE2 a couple months back to help keep me in check to exercise more. Ive been working at home and my posture and exercise amount has been pretty awful. Averaging 3500 steps a day before the watch.

Besides checking my steps and starting/stopping exercises i dont really look at it much tho tbh. Besides the occasional fast forward of a video/podcast im listening to.

Ive only downloaded a couple extra apps but only really look at basic stuff typically. Or glance at my watch when im nervous occasionally.

Besides the basics ( checking the time or notifications) how much/often do yall look at ur watch?

Basically never. Only to check time, weather, notifications and sometimes calendar.

I’m not criticising, but why get an Apple Watch? I am thinking of getting one, but I’m also out of getting one, because, like you, I only use like 4 functions. And my crappy huawei watch can do that

Honestly, I started using it for tracking fitness but the reality is that it’s pretty much only usable for casual fitness tracking.

The battery life is atrocious and it’s not really water resistant.

Realistically, the battery life makes it useless for any real longer duration athletic use. Going on a 3 day weekend climbing trip? Sorry, the battery isn’t going to last. Even the Ultra has really poor battery life.

If you are serious about fitness, you are better off getting a real fitness watch like Garmin or Coros.

But the biggest perk is the integration with my iPhone and I can make calls, control music etc. I also can just wear the watch if I’m going on a short run etc.

So if you are looking for an everyday watch that does everything well enough then the Apple Watch is great.
