using a non-apple smart watch with an iphone?

[D.O.A.]

Not wanting to feel defeating by that previous turd I thought I'd reevaluate what, if any, use I'd have for a smart watch.

Do I want to get emails on it, fuck no. Do I want other notifications like the ring cameras, doorbell, etc., sure maybe who knows why not. Store music, no I already have too many places to download/manage my play lists. Control music while working out, skiing, etc. and can't easily access my phone, yes. Look at pictures, no. Get all sorts of stupid watch faces, no. Track fitness activities, yes (really the main reason for having something "smart" on my wrist).

I decided to check out the Garmin Instinct and after a week, I'm moderately impressed. Its reasonably intuitive so I can do what I want with very little intervention or adding apps, seems to be robust enough that I'm not worried about hurting it during a run, etc. My only complaint is that the band feels cheap as fuck and will replace it with something like a nylon NATO strap.

I have a dead nazis watch that doesn't work and it's radioactive and it's probably still better made than anything these days, I'd rather the old styles

I love watches, the analog, no digital. At one time I probably had 20 watches lol

If I pay $600 for a watch, it better come with a reach around.

very clever post. Thank you, made my day!

Given we are all currently being fucked by fuel prices, filling up should come with a reach around too...
