For runners and other athletes (depending on the sport), it seems fairly useful. I struggle to think of other use cases that justify it.

Obviously, a smart watch is strictly better than a regular watch in the sense that it has more features, but I think the downside of having to charge it so regularly makes the value-add not worth it. I am always sad about the downfall of Pebble watches, because the e-ink screens were excellent and gave you a watch that rarely needed to be charged and still gave the benefits of a smart watch (however small they may be).

I only have to charge my Garmin watch like every 10 days...
