You forgot the third option: None.
I got a smartphone, I don't need a watch to tell the time.
I thought the same until I got a smartwatch. They add so much that I highly recommend them.
I've looked into them, but I just don't see the benefit. They usually still need the phone nearby to be useful, except you have an extra SIM for them.
The only function I thought interesting could be the pulse sensor.
For everything else the display seems to be too small. No typing and for calls you can just use Bluetooth headphones.
What do you actually use the watch for besides telling the time?
You don't have to get a cellular connected watch. My Samsung operates off wifi and Bluetooth only.
While I wouldn't say they'll revolutionize your life, they are useful for telling time, notifications, navigation, step tracking, exercise tracking, sleep tracking, controlling music, etc. If you find a good deal on one you might try it out. My battery lasted about 3 days new and is down to about 2 days now but I've already bought a replacement battery which looks easy enough to swap.
