Has to be a getting used to thing like you said at the end there. Personally I love my smartwatch, I use it to quickly view my calendar, check notifications (and decide whether or not it's worth taking my phone out to reply), setting reminders, setting timers, alarms, tracking workouts, controlling spotify and taking calls. Probably some I forget 😅
I got a Samsung watch, unfortunately though I probably wouldn't recommend getting it if you don't own a Samsung phone since you will lose out on features like synchronising do not disturb and Samsung modes/Routines (with other androids a pixel watch is probably a better choice)
