A modern day equivalent of "we don't own a tv"
I still say this to cable companies and other tv providers, is awesome and hilarious how they can't continue their phone sale.
I guess? I think it's more like "we don't have cable/satellite TV." My kids have watches, they just don't connect to the internet. And why should they?
I have a smart watch, but I only use it to buy stuff, and I don't wear it everywhere either. It's not even really connected to my phone (I have to switch profiles to connect it).
