@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange I don't wear a smartwatch. In fact, I stopped wearing a regular watch after getting my first mobile phone around the turn of the millennium since the phone had a system clock, making the watch redundant.
And I feel so much better without constantly wearing that piece of equipment on my wrist, and I do like wearing bracelets every now and then, but I think the wristwatch had always been a step in the wrong direction after the pocket watch. If you're worried about the time so much that you always need to have it on your wrist, that you cannot take the additional second it takes to take your chronometer out of your pocket, something has gone wrong in your life.

@LordCaramac@discordian.social @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Some people like myself simply enjoy how mechanical/digital watches look. Plus when I was working blue-collar a G-Shock was much easier to quickly read the time from while my phone remained somewhere it wouldn't get damaged.

@LordCaramac@discordian.social @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange I deliberately went back to using wrist watches to tell the time. So that I would not have to pull my phone from my pocket just to see the time, and latest notifications.
