Agreed. I moved from smart watches back to an old Casio sgw-100. Battery life is the main reason. It's nice just to always have a watch that works, and be able to go on camping trips and really be able to rely on the device.
I've changed the battery once in 2 years (and that was simply preventative). The fact that it just keeps on working for years at a time is a nice contrast to basically every other modern device.
- ohthehugemanate 6y agoHighly recommend the so-called "hybrid" smart watches from Fossil, Withings, etc. The're analog watches with a minimal digital display and all the basic functionality of a smart watch. But since they don't waste power on a big color screen, wifi, or other extravagance, battery life is on the order of a month. I love mine. I get my notifications, pulse, step, and sleep tracking, in a classy looking package with a grown up battery life.
- Fnoord 6y agoI got one (Fossil) as well. I love to have the e-ink off, that way it looks like a classic watch. Disadvantage is you cannot put Bluetooth off. I really don't want it on, unless when I specifically turn it on. I probably want a kill switch for it. Which Pebble had.
