I just don’t like smart watches. It’s an extension to a phone and still a screen that gets looked at all day. The amount of times I see people look at their watch, then get their phone out their pocket anyway.
But I’m also not a watch wearer. I stopped years ago when mobiles became a thing and they tell the time just as well. I didn’t like watch tan marks on my arm and was forever scratching/damaging my watches.
I don’t have the eyesight to be looking at a smartwatch screen all day. I keep a very small social media presence (I don’t think Ive posted anything on Facebook for over a year) so I don’t need to be constantly scrolling through chat threads or Facebook updates. So the watch works perfectly for me. But I agree a watch wont cut it if you are always needing to be socially connected.
As for watch tan marks, I’ve got farmer’s tan anyway so fuck it. I white mark around the wrist will make it a matching set.
