Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

Where my Casio G-Shock fam at? Solar, set by atomic clock, stylish, pretty backlight, old Nokia cell phone levels of indestructible. What’s not to love?

I wear a smart watch to get work related text messages without needing to pull my phone out. Sometimes I’m busy or my hands are covered in oil/diesel

I work in an office job and the introduction of an always on display completely solved this need fir me. AoDs have since become ha hard requirement for me, while my wrist can continue to proudly wear an old school analog watch.

Oh, and also, I hate the thought of tech giants even going as far as collection my bio data for whatever abuse they plan to do with it. Can’t collect a lot when my phone is on the table not even facing me.

Regular watch. I already often find it stressfull to be constantly connected and available with just a phone, I don’t want to be even more available.
