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.

Regular watch. I don’t need more things sending me notifications, and a nice watch makes me feel more confident.
Happy for you! If wearing a regular watch makes you feel better, then the value of that far outweighs any other option.
Smartwatch. It’s very useful for triaging notifications (messages, email, phone calls, etc) and turning HomeKit devices on/off quickly or when my hands are full (Siri, open the garage door). Also extremely useful for fitness.
I see the appeal, having home automation on your wrist would be very convenient indeed.
Garmin “Smart” watch. It doesn’t do apps but it does notificatios and is great for fitness… and only needs charging once a month. A watch that needs recharging daily is useless to me.
Me as well. I like to track my steps and exercise. Instinct 2 only needs charging I’ve a month. Absolutely love it.
Never understood the issue with daily charging. Unless you need to track your sleep cycle (which I’ve also never really understood, but to each their own), what’s the problem with putting it on a charger each night before bed?
Because it’s a hassle. For example I need to lug a charger with me everywhere I go, which is especially annoying on longer trips.
No watch
Me too. I just hate everything that should be on my wrist or neck. They are just really not comfortable for me.
No ⌚.
Regular watch. Other than my phone, I tend to want less technology on me.
My go to is an old Casio, the same one Dennis Nedry wears in Jurassic Park. It’s super weird seeing how expensive this watch has become on eBay.
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?
Gshocks are the ultimate watch, and honestly one of the most reliable things someone can have for everyday use
Same. I’ve beat the shit out of this watch and they’re not even expensive. It has some dings now, but it took quite a while dealing with my blue collar bullshit before it started showing abuse.
Casio G-Shock owner here. I prefer a watch to always know the time without checking my phone but I would never use IOT devices, including a smart watch for privacy & security reasons.
fist bump
I wear mine for outdoor stuff and a simpler Casio for a daily driver. Got my wife a matching pink one!
Satisfies my old-school wants and needs, about bulletproof, cheap as hell on eBay, all that.
Happy to see another G-Shock owner! I myself settled down on a 5610U. Its all I need + the very good aftermarket/modding community.
Ps: Just realised that you’re the guy from this comment, the world is small haha.
No watch. I have a smart phone
Regular mechanical watch. I don’t care about my notifications, I just want what is effectively a piece of jewelry. I prefer the watch to a bracelet because I also appreciate the worksmanship and design of the analog machine.
No.
No
I don’t wear watches. I have small wrists and it bugs me that they never fit right
No.
Why would I need a watch?
