Exactly. For me it’s come full circle. “Wow there’s no point of me wearing a watch everywhere now that I have a phone. [10 years later] Cool! This new smart watch will allow me to untether from my phone!”

There's a xkcd about that: [Watches] https://xkcd.com/1420/

That is great, thank you!

I can see phones replacing/merging with wallets long before something replaces phones themselves

I recently got one of the Silk super slim wallet cases, and I haven’t used my separate wallet since. I carry around my ID, a debit card, and a bit of cash, and it works wonderfully. Feels so great to only have to worry about 1 thing when I leave the house instead of 2. And, I’ve found myself using Apple Pay more since I’m reaching for my phone now anyways to pay. I really thought I’d dislike it, with the added width to the phone, but so far pros heavily outweigh the cons.

My experience is not mandatory for anyone else. I use the phone to actually talk 90% and quickly look something up/kill time when on the go 10%. I also like to keep interruptions to a minimum, so smart watches just don't have any purpose for me.
