Smartwatches and fitness trackers solve different problems, so it really depends on what matters more to you 😊 If you want a full-fledged mini-computer on your wrist - calls, messages, apps, navigation - then go for a smartwatch. But if you just want to track activity, sleep, and heart rate without all the extra stuff, a bracelet is cheaper, more compact, and the battery lasts longer. I'd say start by figuring out whether you'll actually use the notifications on a watch or if it's just going to sit there looking pretty, and pick based on that.
What matters more to you - battery life or features? I went with a bracelet specifically because it lasts a month on a single charge, while smartwatch batteries need to be plugged in almost every day! Sure, it has fewer functions, but if tracking activity, getting notifications, and making payments are enough for you, the bracelet does the job perfectly. Smartwatches only win if you're actually going to use them as a full-fledged device, not just wear a gadget on your wrist.
The main thing is whether you'll actually wear it. I thought a bracelet would be super convenient at first, so I bought one, but it sat on my nightstand for like two months because it kept rubbing my wrist and I just kept forgetting about it. Then a friend lent me her watch with a bigger screen - turns out I can actually see it better, and it just feels more natural on. Maybe try borrowing one from someone for a couple weeks before you spend money on it.

Yeah, I have the same issue actually - sensitive skin on my wrist. Thanks for the tip, I'll ask my friend if I can try her watch before I buy one!
