Before COVID, I wore a regular watch all the time and like watches, never an Apple Watch.
I don't do sleep tracking or Apple Pay and while I do like the faces and complications, so far I just haven't had any of them really impact my day.
When I get up to California and can activate the ECG and then when Fitness+ comes by January, maybe I'll find it more useful.
I got my wife the 2nd-gen Watch when it first came out and she's completely tied to it because her and her friends share fitness data all day (fun competition) but she says when it dies, she doesn't want to get another because she resents being so tied to it.
I'm at the point where I'm annoyed when I have to take it off and charge it. It'll buzz me 45 minutes before my scheduled "bedtime" and tell me to charge so it can sleep track.
