Yeah a bit weird for me tbh - I haven't worn a watch in probably 15 years or so - there's no need is there when you have a phone?
But I'm not turning free shit down - I'd lose my Northern Passport.
Same. I tried an old smartwatch a few years ago and wasn't impressed, but apparently they're better now?
Who knows.
If you weren't impressed a few years ago you won't be impressed now because they're really no different bar having a few more sensors and more gimmicky additions.

Heartrate sensor might be interesting/scary to use old watch didn't have any of that stuff, that's how old it was.

I think my one will just report 'oh my god you're so, so fucked' on a regular basis

I find mine useful as I work in an environment where my phone has to be on silent but I can still receive and read notification on my watch.

Oof, that is a bit cringe isn't it.
Also, remember, I'm 40 and I'm technically a millennial.
Lucian is likely Gen Z
Those Gen Z'ers with their energy, and flexible joints

Ha, fair enough. Cringe is right, though.
Honestly I don't get the difference between a £200 phone to a £600. My A53 5G much better than work-issued iPhone 13.

I tend to agree, but the P7 Pro was a present to myself, and the only 'big ticket' thing I intend to buy for a while.
Otherwise I'd have picked up a used P6 Pro.
The camera is pretty fucking impressive though.

The Pixel 6a is on offer at £299 which seems a bit of a bargain in a world of £800+ phones !

Aye, I've got tracking info but not specific timeslot etc - perfect for when I've got a day full of meetings
Oh well, I expect it'll turn up soon enough.

Yodel - email saying its coming at anytime today but you can choose options if youre not in. As Yodel are meant to be shit I was quite impressed - you even get the guys name and mobile to contact them. Thats progress.

Yeah, mine turned up later in the afternoon, it's quite snazzy.
So far my heartrate hasn't gone below 80 or above 110, how long till I die?
old watch didn't have any of that stuff, that's how old it was.
