Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
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.

I'll never wear another smart watch.
The laxer on it burnt a pin sized hole on my wrist that has scarred. This broke the straw for me, never again... Don't trust them at all.
Other than the above. Taking it on and off daily to charge. Having to update it constantly. Having notifications constantly (easy solve). Having to touch it to wake. They just aren't designed well.
I had a seiko watch that was nice, but I felt like wearing it daily would damage it.
If I were to get another one, it'd be either a durable mechanical watch, or a dress watch. Wish I'd kept the seiko over the bullshit smart watch replacement.
Do people really wear watches to bed? Never in my life has taking a watch off at night been an inconvenience
I know some of the smart ones have like see how you sleep trakers, that wants it on the wrist while you sleep for best results.
I tried it like the first night I had mine, but it was uncomfortable and weird so I took it off quite quickly. Now it sleeps in the drawer.
Ohhhh, I hadn't even considered that part
I wear mine (analog) everywhere except the shower and gym. It's probably waterproof enough for the shower too but I don't like risking it.
I'm with this guy. Agree 100% on all points. A friend gave me an automatic waterproof watch with super bright lume. I wear it everywhere. It's great when you wake up in the middle of the night and need to know how many more hours you have to sleep.
Only waterproof automatic watches for me.
The only issue is that it gains time. But better be early than late!
About a minute every ten days. So reset the hands maybe every two weeks.
