I’ve thought a lot about what matters to me regarding smartwatches, and it’s not that much. Certainly, I don’t think it’s as much as the brands who make these devices would like it to be.

The bigger question I have is: how typical is my use case? That’s why I decided to ask my YouTube audience how they use their smartwatches.

As you can see, most people consider themselves to be moderate smartwatch users. I think that’s what I am; I’m impressed by the breadth of stuff you can do with a smartwatch, but I find little use for it in everyday life. I just want to check the time, keep an eye on notifications, and track my workouts.

Although I’ll be honest: I’m not even sure why I track my workouts — I never look back at the data.

Enter the OnePlus Watch 3. This is OnePlus’ self-proclaimed ‘best-value flagship smartwatch’. It promises incredible battery life and the bridging of mental and physical wellness.
