Why do people prefer traditional watches to more advanced smart watches?

Wearable devices are very popular in recent years. When Apple released the first Apple Watch, it attracted many people's attention. Now, when people begin to pay attention to wearable devices, various smart wearable devices have appeared. Moreover, some manufacturers have made smart bracelets, which can also tell time, measure heart rate, display short messages and call reminders, and their functions are becoming more and more powerful and light.

Now, even the NFC version, the general bracelet can do it, and it also supports the bus card function and access control function, so you don't need to carry many cards with you, you only need one bracelet to solve it. In the future, bracelets will become more and more powerful and have more functions. But there are still many people who choose traditional watches instead of smart watches. The reason is that smart watches can't completely replace mobile phones, and it's very retarded to make a phone call with a watch, while other functions on the smart bracelet except NFC are very lame.

We know that the biggest selling point of smart watches is nothing more than practical functions. The so-called powerful scientific and technological functions have always been the focus of various smart watches. However, from the day of its birth, mechanical watches are not entirely a tool to tell time, but more importantly, they are an ornament that only a few people can wear. In other words, watches have luxury properties since their birth.

Because watches, or earlier pocket watches, have a big problem for a long time, that is, the problem of inaccurate walking. But this does not prevent some people from spending a lot of money to buy a piece, because the watch itself is a kind of handicraft, which can be carved, polished, inlaid with diamonds, enameled and other exquisite decorative techniques, and can also be packaged with precious materials such as precious metals.
