I like my Garmin smartwatch. It allows me to track my heart rate accurately enough so I can know when to slow down my pace. That's important as I have high blood pressure and congestive heart failure runs in the family, so I have to be careful when pushing myself.

I also like my smart led strip and my smart plug hooked up to my Home Assistant server. Both are pretty useful when paired with automations, like turning on/off as I leave/arrive home, or turning on at certain times to aid me in waking up. It's not necessary but it does add to my life.

But what absolutely doesn't need a smart version imo? Toasters. I've seen smart toasters. I don't need a smart toaster. That's dumb.
