    AA> watches then?  (ie. no fitness tracking at all?)   
      
   They all do some form of health tracking.  Mine (Series 5) has a heart rate   
   monitor, ECG, step counting.  Newer versions also have blood oxygen sensors as   
   well.   
      
   They also have "Fall Detection" so if you fall & pass out it can automatically   
   call emergency services.  It can also warn you if you're around loud noises   
   too long which could damage hearing.  There also mindfulness reminders and of   
   course the sleep tracking.   
      
   On top of that, I have my debit & credit card on my watch so I can just tap   
   that to pay for things.  All-in-all a pretty handy device.
