I have an Apple Watch that I get into from time to time but generally it collects dust despite how many cool functions it has. Mostly because of the battery life & lack of customization. Most of the things it tracks or does I can see or do on my phone so it feels redundant & what can't don't need to monitored continuously in my life.

I daily a black LF20W-1A and I also use the A168W-1 and AE1200WHD. The faces and design are way more interesting to me and they are more affordable.

I wish I never got the Apple Watch ...

Calling out the Apple Watch for lack of customization while using 3 different watches seems a bit ironic.

For me the Apple Watch killer feature is a bit embarrassing... it's the button that makes your phone ring so you can find it...

Oh man I forgot about this feature! It's really great except that I don't wear my watch so I just ask my wife to call me instead

Apple Watch's killer feature is the alarm. It is so much more pleasant to be woken up silently by your watch vibrating than your phone beeping. And then knowing exactly where you can find your watch to hit snooze (on your wrist) vs reaching for your phone.

That's the only feature I use my watch for. It sits on the charger all day waiting for me to wear at night.

Vibrating alarms on watches aren't unique to the Apple Watch, fwiw.
