I got my first smartwatch a little less than a year ago, but mainly for the fitness part. I love sports and being able to track evolution is great for the nerd in me, as well as all the health measurements; as you, I'm not that young already! ;) What I never did, and doubt I ever will, is connect it to my phone: I refuse to get any more distractions, and best way is to keep the connection just for the sports and health part. Everything else stays on the phone, where it should be.
