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

Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/For it’s/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 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.
