× I don't wear a watch very often because I reckon that the function of smartphones can absolutely replace the wear, uh, uh, replace the watch because I can like I can check the time anytime, anytime I want on my smartphones.
✓ I don't wear a watch very often because I reckon that the functions of smartphones can absolutely replace wearing a watch, since I can check the time anytime I want on my smartphone.
The sentence misuses the verb 'replace' followed by a noun ('the wear') where a gerund ('replacing' or 'wearing') is required. Use 'replace' + noun or 'replace' + gerund phrase; here 'replace wearing a watch' or 'replace a watch' are correct. Also correct 'function' to plural 'functions' because multiple capabilities are implied, and 'smartphones' to 'smartphone' in the last clause to match the singular possessive reference. Remove filler words and repeated words for clarity.
× Yes, when I was 8 that was my birthday. My mom took me to a local shopping mall to pick my birthday present. I choose an adorable pink Snow White watch. It's look look very special so my mom sent it to me. I wore it every day.
✓ Yes, when I was 8 it was my birthday. My mom took me to a local shopping mall to pick my birthday present. I chose an adorable pink Snow White watch. It looked very special so my mom bought it for me. I wore it every day.
Multiple past-tense verbs were incorrect: 'choose' should be the past form 'chose', and 'look' should be 'looked'. 'It's look look' is ungrammatical and likely meant past 'it looked'. Also 'sent it to me' is wrong in this context; 'bought it for me' correctly expresses receiving the gift. Ensure consistent past tense when describing past events.
× Umm, maybe that's a simple line of wealth. Like if you wear a Rolex and other people would think that you are rich. That's it.
✓ Umm, maybe that's a simple sign of wealth. If you wear a Rolex, other people will think that you are rich.
'Line of wealth' is incorrect collocation; the correct phrase is 'sign of wealth'. Use 'will' rather than 'would' in this hypothetical real present scenario to indicate a likely result, and remove 'like' at the start of the sentence for formality. Also streamline 'that's it' unless conversational tone is desired.
× I don't think so. As I said before, I use my smartphone every day instead of use watch. Using watch because that's more convenient. I can I can check the time, I also can check the calendar.
✓ I don't think so. As I said before, I use my smartphone every day instead of using a watch. Using a smartphone is more convenient. I can check the time and the calendar.
After 'instead of' a gerund is required, so 'using a watch' not 'use watch'. 'Using watch because that's more convenient' is a sentence fragment and unclear; rephrase to 'Using a smartphone is more convenient.' Remove duplicated 'I can' and join related clauses with 'and' for fluency. Also add articles where needed: 'a watch' and 'the calendar' or 'the calendar on it'.
