Just curious, what do you usually use your phone for? Just calling and texting? Or maybe reading emails and browsing the web too?


I'd like to be able to do the following things on a watch with just 5g and not paired with a cell phone:

- call uber

- maps navigation

- a camera. I need to be able to capture photos and videos things while out. even at lower specs i'd love this


Apple Watch used to have Uber app, then it was discontinued and removed for some reason. I suspect it’s probably the same for other watches.


Besides what you listed: maps, payments, door locks, and music. I'm mainly concerned about losing the web browser that lets me do everything from my phone, but stuff like gpto could replace a lot of stuff, and if there are more actually usable apps(with potential ai integration for ux), that might be enough for me to ditch my phone.
