I'll wear my Pebble Time Round until it disintegrates
Has anyone tried the current Ticwatch Pro? I heard decent things about the previous model but I'm a bit leery of the their app on my phone, plus that they are still pending a WearOS update and various features (Google assistant etc)
I am very happy with my Skagen Jorn gen 6 hybrid. Hybrid means both e-ink screen and physical watch hands. It has a few health sensors, can display notifications, track workouts, send commands to Alexa if you want that, and much more. It's simply an awesome smartwatch in a classic inconspicuous design, and it has a hopping 5 weeks battery life, and it's supported by Gadgetbridge. Nothing can beat it in my opinion.
I like the way the Apple Watch (non-ultra) looks and functions but the battery life is garbage. It’s almost tolerable brand new but the battery degrades over time and you have to charge more often. No thanks.
I currently use a Garmin forerunner 955. Since I use it for running I charge once a week or so. If you don’t work out and just want metrics, it lasts 2 weeks. I highly recommend Garmin watches
Whoop. It’s something I can easily sleep with. I don’t want extra displays and it works with everything like bike computers as a heart monitor. Steps are worthless strain/HRV is more meaningful.
Really wish there was an Android watch that was as reliable and responsive as Apple Watches
Currently wearing a mechanical watch. No data collection, no batteries, and it has radioactive tubes that glow for decades so I can see what time it is at night with zero effort.
If I wanna track fitness I'll open vim and record it there.
none of them, i’d rather not have any extra data on me out there that’s digitally storing it anywhere, even locally.
i keep my odometer and a pulse monitor with me, but they’re both local dumb.
I use Suunto 9 Baro.
None. I'm one of these oldtimers who has that backward opinion that a thing has to do one thing, but that very good, so I wear a brick of steel that's actually ticking away that I have to check once a month, if it's on time. Plus every 4 years it's gotta have an oiling. On the other side: no batteries to charge. And my fitness tracker is my fat belly ;) kinda fit, kinda fat.
