When smartwatches first became a widely-available consumer product, it seems that only tech enthusiasts get to enjoy such a novelty.
Fast forward to 2023 and... at a global scale, the penetration rate for smartwatches, reported by DemandSage, is shockingly 2.69% only.
In case you have not noticed, smartwatches are more than just fancy watches. They are in fact tools that complement your smartphones when it comes to mental and physical health as well as productivity.
With features like a slimmer bezel, a larger and more vibrant display, and a more interactive user interface, it's actually a good investment to get smartwatches if you're all about practising utilising your time smartly. You can boost productivity in many ways such as better scheduling throughout the day and minimising screen time to avoid battery depletion on your smartphone, by using a smartwatch.
Got you interested? Here are ways in which a smartwatch, like the newest Samsung Watch6 Classic, is great for regular smartphone users (like me).

1. Pay faster
Have you ever disliked taking out your wallet to pay when your hands are already full?
The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic is designed with a slim rotating bezel for you to quickly navigate, as well as enhanced Gesture Control so users can manage their watch using simple gestures for greater accessibility and ease, letting them set their own shortcuts and now access apps and functions touch-free.
Those functions are great for users who want to utilise the new Samsung Wallet, which is connected and optimised for you to easily use Samsung Pay.
Samsung Pay is a Godsent application whereby you can connect your debit or credit cards and make a wireless transaction on your phone. Guess what, you can do them on a smartwatch like the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic. And as always, personal data on the watch remains secure thanks to the Samsung Knox security platform.
Other apps enhanced for use on the smartwatch include Gmail, Google Calendar, Camera Control, Find My Phone and even Audible.
2. Carry less
This sounds so weird but also wonderful.
If you've always been someone like me; a small-purse or light-carry lover, you'll want to make sure you don't have too many things to carry on with you, especially if you're only going out for an errand or even for an evening stroll.
Weighing as light as 52g, the Galaxy Watch6 Classic (cellular) has a Saphire Crystal display as small as 43mm in size, complete with a Super AMOLED, Full Color Always On Display. It also has a battery life of up to 40 hours, so you can go about your day carrying less.
What we love is that the Galaxy Watch6 Classic (cellular) allows us to travel without needing to bring our smartphone. At first, it seems nerve-wracking but if you're always someone who wants to learn how to be free and easy, this is a great way to start living that life.
Many times, I feel safe just relying on my smartwatch to make and accept calls without my phone around. Also, if you're just popping by your favourite cafe, you can access SamsungPay too!
3. Being mindful of your screen time
One of the biggest reasons to get a smartwatch (for most people, including me) is to have less screen time. Funny huh, when the smartwatch means it's an extra screen to look at? Not quite.
You see, when we go on a smartphone to check on an email or message notification, other widgets and apps may be distracting and thus, deters our focus on continuing with our previous non-screentime activities. This also technically affects our productivity. That's a recipe for work disaster!
With a smartwatch like the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic, you're able to check on notifications quickly and determine if you want to get your phone to respond to it.
No need to worry about the watch feeling too small. This time, the Watch6 has a 20% larger display than before, offering you more view of the text onscreen and a larger keyboard for you to type on comfortably without the watch face being too large.
Other things you get to enjoy about the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic are abundant health apps for your mental and physical health, such as sleep and fitness coaching. You can also check nutritional insights, or key physical measurements like skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage.
