2nding mechanical watches, though my preferred value brand is Orient, but nothing wrong with Vostok. Seiko seems overpriced these days, Orient seems like the new Seiko (though Orient and Seiko are both owned by the same holding company, which happens to be Epson (yeah, as in Epson printers)).
- bayindirh 6y agoWhile mechanical and real watches are fun, smartwatches' biggest selling point for me is body telemetry. Steps taken, floors climbed, pulse, activity tracking, etc. I've disabled everything notifications and phone-control wise on my MiBand. I exclusively use it for a body telemetry device and I love it. While I miss my proper watches, I just can't leave the MiBand at home.
- ljf 6y agoI've loved every mi band I've had - they are great simple devices. I loved the first one (or the 2nd revision of the 1st) that just had vibration and 3 coloured led. It meant I turned vibration off in my phone, and I set the band to vibrate and flash 3 times white for sms, green for WhatsApp and red for calls. But if any of those were from my wife (who was pregnant at the time) it would vibrate longer and flash for 20 seconds. It was so simple to feel and glance and get the info I needed - no need to squint and try read. It annoys me in meetings when people think they are being subtle reading a full notification from the apple watch or similar. If it is important just get your phone out it will be quicker to read and reply.
