There was one case in the last 3 years that I thought about getting one. I started running and hated having to need my phone on me and needed a watch either way.

Then I went to dinner and saw how a friend was continuously and unconsciously flicking their eyes down at their smartwatch every few minute if they weren’t talking and decided against it. I’m getting old…

Not sure if /s, but this could be from a time before phones were widely available and getting a doctor meant leaving the victim for a substantial amount of time.
