I have not wore a watch in my 40 years. I keep finding myself in situations where I wish I had a watch since I don't always have my phone with me or I am in a situation where I can't get my phone out. My questions:
1. Do you have to buy a data plan separate from your cell phone to be able to send/receive texts and use the watch.
2. Does your phone have to be near the watch for it to be able to use all the "smart" capabilities.
3. I would like one with GPS capabilities for when I go out west. I've been looking at the Garmin watches. Do all brands offer GPS or would it be best to stick with a Garmin watch.
4. Any other information i need to know about smart watches to help me decide?
5. For those that have a smart watch, is it worth the cost? Or should I just buy a plain watch.
I stay about 10 years behind on any new technology so any help is appreciated.
