Mostly heart rate tracking and scheduling reminders so I don't forget things. Also good for step tracking and stuff, realistically I'll just get a Garmin next time cause I still want the long battery life and that's not really a thing with Android based smart watches.
Interesting. Yeah, notifications would probably be huge for me. I utilize a lot of them to get things done, but I sometimes miss important ones on my phone.
I love using it as an mp3 player at the gym or while running and keeping my phone in my locker. If you deal with a lot of authentication texts or apps for work software, I find it makes me slightly less angry to authenticate with my watch. Rapid weather and calender checks are convenient too.
