Has anyone gone from a smart watch back to analog?
Discussion
Has anyone gone back to a standard analog watch after wearing a smart watch for an extended period?
Up until12 months ago, my only experience of smart wearables was a Garmin vivofit, which I wore along side my analogs, nothing special but a couple are interesting. Then 6 months or so I got a Garmin gps watch and have worn it ever since, day and night.
Recently I’ve been thinking that all the smart tech has become overly intrusive in life (mainly thanks to the bombardment about the election etc) and how much data I’m recording about myself and that I never do anything with it. The thought occurred that life was simpler when a watch told you the time and date, not the latest headlines, when you’ve got a text, call etc, and stopping using the Garmin as an everyday watch.
The thought of something nice but single use now appeals, I must be getting old!
