I'm thinking about what features in a smartwatch are actually useful for an average user. I expect the basic set to include heart rate monitoring, a pedometer, call and message notifications, and simple sleep analytics. But is it worth adding blood oxygen level measurement or built-in GPS if they increase the cost and reduce battery life? What parameters do you think are essential, and which ones are just a "gimmick" that can be skipped? Share your experiences and views on what trade-offs are preferable.

I wonder how much the built-in GPS affects battery life in models with small batteries? And do you have any experience where measuring blood oxygen levels actually came in handy during regular daily activities?
Yo, I still mix up the watch with the microwave, I think the essentials are heart rate, steps, notifications, and sleep analysis; the oxygen meter and GPS are luxuries that can drain the battery 🚀🤦♂️.
