Results: do you have and use a smartwatch?

Smartwatches had a rough start — they were first underpowered and awkward, then they were considered geeky, and, after a considerable marketing push and design improvement, managed to make it to the lifestyle accessory category. And while they are nice to have, they still can't find their exact usability, the feature that would make them a must-buy item.

Some users find them expensive, others can't see the need for them, and there are those that bought one but gave up on using it a couple of months in. Yeah, of course, there's also the group of users that enjoy their smartwatches and keep using and upgrading them.

In fact, we thought we'd run a poll on the matter. And look at that, it turns out that smartwatches are actually used more consistently nowadays!
