i bought a P-Watch due to the circular aesthetic, have been wearing mine since release. it's "OK" but last week i fell on my bicycle and scratched up the watch face pretty badly, so QUITE annoying that there is no repair program.

doesn't matter though, switching to a classic Cassio watch soon anyways. "Smart Watches" aren't that helpful for me, ultimately i don't understand the appeal. it's just PHONE ON WRIST, seems like another way to "PLUG INTO THE MATRIX"

I don't wear mine anymore really, but the use case for it for me was to see notifications quickly and easily without taking my attention away from whoever I am with. You can quickly just glance at your watch to see if the text/phone call/email is important or not and then just twist your wrist to dismiss.

I wear my smart watch exclusively at work because when I'm on or around heavy machinery, I need to know if that little alert was something important or not. Otherwise I'd be checking my phone every five minutes. But I don't have to stop or slow down to check my wrist.

Never understood the appeal of Dick Tracey's phone watch, still don't understand them now that the are real.
