Smart watches are becoming more popular but there are a number of reasons why consumers may avoid them
They argue that the features of smart watches mostly overlap with those of phones, so the former is essentially redundant and costly
Many consumers buy fitness trackers thinking they will motivate them to meet fitness goals, but often these goals are abandoned once the novelty wears off
Smart watches require constant charging, and their batteries require replacing every few years, just like smartphones
Smart watches notify users of messages and alerts, but this can lead to fatigue and stress as it is harder to disconnect from alerts on your wrist than in your pocket.
Instead of smart watches, users may turn to smart rings, which have no screens and so can be more easily disregarded when notifications come through.
