I always wanted a Smartwatch for activity tracking since going back to the gym and running again a few years ago but like others here, own several decent analogue watches.

So bought a smart-ring - and love it. Not as accurate as a watch due to the limited size for the tech - but does what I need it to do

Great idea. Take a functionless piece of jewellery and make it useful.

I’m being tempted to the dark side, as I’ve bought a Garmin smart watch for running. I’ve turned off all notifications as I got it as a GPS and music player. I can really see the appeal though, in identifying my fitness trend, but I am still sticking to my proper watches too.

Does anyone wear a smart watch on one wrist and a normal watch on the other? I want to use the Garmin for a week to baseline all its features but prefer a proper watch to look at the time.

I've had a Samsung for about 18 months now which I wear almost every day. Though I've now a bit of a craving for a g shock.
